In this article we will talk about one of the mostknown villains of comic books. His nickname is the Joker (DC Comics). The real name is still a secret both for the fans of the drawn stories, and for fans of films about superheroes.
For the first time a character with this name appeared in 1940 in the first issue of the Batman comic strip.
The past villain is shrouded in mystery.Until the end it is unclear who he was, what his real name is, whether there was a family. The hero himself each time tells a completely different version of his past. There is an opinion that he no longer remembers who before the Joker himself became a villain.
DC Comics initially adhered to this version:A character was born because of a tragic accident. A comedian-loser or robber (versions in various editions of comics diverge) in a red cap accidentally fell into a vat of acid. It happened at night, the Red Cowl was frightened by Batman. But after the fall, the grief-robber did not perish, but was reborn by a completely different being. It was a man with snow-white skin, black circles under his eyes, green hair and a frozen smile on his face.
Some time passed after the incident withacid, and a mountain of corpses was found on one of Gotham's warehouses. Every dead man had a smile on his face. Then the viewers saw the message of a strange man in a purple suit. He promised to kill one of the local millionaires and even called the exact time. This strange man, of course, was the Joker.
DC Comics - the company that created one of the most popular villains. Despite his insanity, the Joker is not devoid of some charm.
However, back to the plans for this uncommongangster. As promised, the millionaire died despite the efforts of the police. But that was not all. Joker (DC Comics), whose photo can be seen in this article, was going to poison the reservoir. Only through the efforts of Batman and Commissioner Gordon he failed. The villain was behind bars, and then went to Arkham - a psychiatric clinic.
This, of course, was not the last thing I didJoker. DC Comics has not forgotten about this villain. On the contrary, it was he who managed to turn the loudest and most incredible crimes. It is no coincidence that the Joker became the main opponent of Bamten. For the villain, the fight with the superhero has turned into a fun and exciting game for a lifetime.
The Joker became a regular guest of Arkham, from whereperiodically ran down alone or releasing all the criminals for the company. The hospital itself has become for him a place of rest from battles and headquarters for creating new insidious plans.
The Joker even had an accomplice - Harley Quinn. She dresses like a harlequin and nourishes affectionate feelings for a killer maniac.
So, who is the Joker (DC Comics)? The scriptwriters of the company left the secret of his identity undisclosed, but in all colors painted the character of the villain.
Joker is a self-confident crazy maniac withthirst for destruction. Despite his destructiveness, he is very intelligent, cunning, crafty and devilishly inventive. He does not trust anyone and acts equally cruelly with both his enemies and his allies. But the most favorite enemy of the Joker is Batman. It's not just a man who is ready to take revenge on the clown all the time, it's also a worthy opponent. "Games" with Batman deliver the Joker the greatest pleasure. With him, a villain can compete in cunning and wit, and not just in power. In many respects, the Joker's love for clever plans is explained by the fact that in terms of physical strength he is much inferior to a superhero.
Even if the Joker is on the team, he is notgives in to anyone's control, so often acts as a leader or organizer. However, those who perceive it as an ally sooner or later pay for it with life. You can not rely on him and employers. The Joker always fulfills the task in his own way. And not always the new plan does not include the death of the customer himself.
The villain does not know pity and mercy. But his main feature is insanity. The joker is always cheerful and never takes anything seriously. Everything that happens is just a joke, even if around hundreds people are dying.
Nothing can stop the Joker on his way to hisgoals He is not afraid of danger, torture, or death. However, in those moments when his life is really in danger, the self-preservation instinct invariably turns on. Only because of this he remains alive.
The joker is quickly oriented in any situations, anddue to unhealthy psyche is able to make unpredictable, but the right decisions. A villain can turn the tide of even the most predictable battle. In addition, he easily determines the weakness of the enemy. Honest fight from the Joker does not have to wait. He is always on the lookout for a couple of vile receptions.
Among other criminals, he enjoys unchanged authority. In Arkham, his power over other prisoners has no boundaries.
Joker (DC Comics) - the hero is not quite comicusual. He has no pronounced superpowers. His strengths are incredible willpower and a brilliant mind. In addition, the villain does not act poisons and torture. The joker has a good hand-to-hand combat. However, it wins not at the expense of strength, but at the expense of tricks, unpredictability and cunning.
Joker (DC Comics) is not addicted toto any particular type of weapon. The only thing is poison, which makes people smile on their faces after death. Also, a madman has a passion for all sorts of sweepstakes, turning them into deadly weapons: an electric shock on a 500 volt hand for the last handshake, sharp playing cards, fake pistols that turn out to be deadly, etc.
In general, the Joker is one of the most outstanding villains of the DC comic universe.
