Biography

The Joker's history is largely a mystery. The generally most commonly agreed-upon origin concerns a family man and failed comedian who used to work at a chemical factory. The man had a pregnant wife who he was unable to provide for or care for, and was manipulated into committing a robbery of the chemical factory he used to work at under the alias of the Red Hood. His wife and unborn child died in an accident, but it was too late for the man to back out of the robbery. The robbery went awry, as Batman attacked, sending the soon-to-be Joker into a vat of chemicals, deforming his look into that of an evil clown. This made him go mad, as the Joker became the greatest enemy to Batman and to the entirety of Gotham. Joker speaks with a Transatlantic accent (in most incarnations) and claims to be of Irish descent.
