"I get people coming up to me all the time saying 'joker, how do you stay so happy in the midst of all the chaos, war, anarchy, depression, all the horrible stuff that goes on in the world, how do you do it, how do you continue to smile and laugh?' I look'em right in the eye and I kill'em!"

Biography[]

Who and what the Joker was before he became the Joker is a complete mystery clouded in conjecture, hearsay and whipped cream. Once a criminal by the name of the Red Hood he fell into a vat of toxic runoff from a new antidepressant at the ace chemical plant in Gotham City, the conten turned his skin white, his hair green, his teeth yellow, his nails black and his soft flesh (lips etc.) blood red as well as driving him completely insane. With his new clown like appearance he dubbed him the Joker and began to terrorize Gotham with a slew of prank, comedy and circus themed crimes.
