Powers And Abilities
Strengths:
Altered Physiology: The only real “power” of the Joker’s is how his body has been effected by the chemicals he’s been submerged in. Not only did it make his skin the beautiful pasty white you see today, but it actually enhanced his body and mind in some very strange ways. The ways he’s been enhanced include:
- Enhanced Strength and Agility - The Joker has the strength and agility of ten men combined, making him a formidable foe against pretty much any normal human if he chooses to use all of his strength. Depending on what he thinks if more fun, the Joker might just pretend to be a weakling and get taken down in one punch.
- Pain Resistance – Joker has received more beat downs from Batman than he can keep track of. One has to wonder just how he keeps getting up. Well, here’s your answer! The chemicals made the Joker completely resistant to any pain. It is also arguable that this is not an enhancement to his body, but the chemicals gave his masochistic tendencies and he just really likes the pain given to him. Either way, actually hurting the Joker is rather difficult for those who don’t intend on killing him.
- Toxic Blood – When the Joker fell into a vat of chemicals, those chemicals infused into his bloodstream and became a part of him. And that’s just the start! Even afterwards the Joker started using his own toxins on himself just so he would eventually become immune. Even now that he’s immune he uses it on himself just for funsies. The Joker’s toxic blood also makes him immune to any other toxin, such as Scarecrow’s fear toxin.
- Cheating Death – Some people might call it impossible or amazing that the Joker can return from so many deaths. But, coming back from the dead is just Tuesday for the Joker. Nobody quite knows how he could be alive after being thrown off so many bridges, caught in dozens of explosions, shot, stabbed and generally beat up, but he is. The point is, no matter just how dead the Joker should be he’s never really dead. He’ll always find some way to come back and bother the Batman.
- Comic Awareness – The chemicals not only affected his body, but his mind as well. It somehow made him completely aware that he is a fictional character from a comic book. He’s even talked directly to those reading the comic book. This will translate over to him being aware of the fact that he’s on an RP site.
Indomitable Will: Much like the Batman himself, the Joker has a will that just won’t let him give up on his schemes. Only difference is, the Joker’s will is powered by insanity. I It has to take amazing willpower to keep on going after being thwarted by Batman more times than one can count. The Joker will also never, ever do a scheme that involves someone else killing Batman or Batman being killed in a way that just isn’t funny, no matter how foolproof the scheme is. The Joker also has no understand of fear and therefore cannot feel it.
Genius-Level Intellect: The laughing mad clown is a genius? Of course he is! How else would he be able to make his toys and laughing gas? A highly skilled chemist, the Joker created his laughing gas by himself and was able to weaponize it. Occasionally the Joker will pretend to be unable to do something just because he feels like he wants to go out and kidnap someone who can do it for him. If he does this any time, expect him to actually be able to do whatever it is he kidnapped someone to do for him.
- Inventor – It takes someone with masterful inventive skill to make the things the Joker has in his arsenal. Just like his toxin, Joker invented all of those things himself, including razor sharp playing cards, an acid-shooting flower, etc. No doubt he could invent anything within reason if he really put his mind into it.
- Escapology – Arkham Asylum: Biggest insane asylum in Gotham and supposedly the safest place for criminals to be. Except the fact that Joker has broken out of it so many times that the Arkham Staff (and Batman) don’t expect him to be contained for a long time. In fact, the only times he stays for long are when he needs to find some more interesting way to escape than the usual sneaking out.
- Criminal Mastermind – There’s a reason the Joker is known as Batman’s most dangerous foe. He’s just as good as the Bat at coming up with plans and flawlessly executing them. The difference is obvious but I’m going to say it anyway: the Joker puts his brilliance towards crime instead of stopping crime. He’s gotten so good at this that he’s already killed one Robin and crippled a Batgirl with his schemes. If only he could get to the Bat himself…
- Psychology – Oddly enough, the Joker understands how a human’s mind works more than most people… and he usually uses this understanding to manipulate people into doing what he wants. Take, for instance, Dr. Harleen Quinzell, now known as Harley Quinn. The Joker manipulated her into believing that he was a sad figure who had been abused as a child… and now Harley Quinn has fallen head over heels for him.
Combat: The Joker is a surprisingly tough opponent in hand to hand combat. While his skill isn’t near Batman’s he has proven able to hold his own against his arch-nemesis numerous times and has even beaten him once. As opposed to Batman’s strength and training, the Joker is an agile opponent who is completely unpredictable in battle. The Joker’s combat skill generally fluctuates whenever he faces Batman. Sometimes he’s more than a match for the Dark Knight and sometimes he’s taken down with one punch, depending on what Joker thinks is the most fun. The Joker is also amazing with weapons, particularly firearms and the bizarre, comedic weaponry he invents, such as razor-sharp playing cards.
Weaknesses:
Human: Some people would debate the Joker’s humanity, but for all intents and purposes he is a human. You can shoot him, stab him and all that good stuff and he’ll die eventually. He doesn’t even wear a bullet proof vest or any protection from that sort of thing. As mentioned above he’ll eventually come back, but you can kill him for a little while.
Insane: The Joker enjoys a special form of insanity that’s been referred to as ‘super sanity’. That pretty much means that he’s so insane that he’s sane, meaning that he has a different understanding of things, most probably a better understanding than our own. Even if he does have super sanity, he’s certainly a crazy one…
Batman: The Batman is possible Joker’s biggest weakness. One could say the Joker’s entire life revolves around tormenting this one man – and doing it in a humorous way. Without Batman one could say that the Joker wouldn’t really have a purpose. In fact, when Batman was believed dead, Joker found the guy who supposedly did it and tried to dip him in a vat of acid.
Weapons And Equipment:
[/size]
Joker Venom: Joker’s favorite tool in his crimes is his venom, which can be in the form of injections, gas or hair care products. The venom puts a biiiig ol’ smile right on the faces of the victim and makes them laugh! Laugh until they’re dead, that is. Sometimes the venom will leave them alive with a permanent smile on their face. It does eventually wear off in this form.
Joker Gadgets: The Joker has quite an arsenal of comedy-themed weaponry at his disposal, such as….
- Razor Sharp Playing Cards – Exactly what it sounds like. They are playing cards that have sharp edges and are thrown like knives. Occasionally they explode.
- Acid Flower – Attached to Joker’s suit coat is a large flower that, when squeezed, squirts out quite the surprise! The surprise is a powerful acid that can burn through most anything.
- BANG! Gun – A pistol that shoots a flag with the word “BANG!” on it. The gun can either stay like that, shoot out Joker Venom or shoot the flag as a projectile weapon.
- Cyanide/Exploding Pies – To keep with his comedy theme, the Joker will sometimes bring along a cart of pie that either contain cyanide or dangerous explosives. Either way, the result is deadly.
- Exploding Cigars - Once these puppies are lit there's no looking back. They'll immediately explode, killing the user. The Joker usually gives these to people instead of lighting them himself and throwing.
- Joy Buzzer – Almost constantly attached to the Joker’s hand is a joy buzzer that zaps with real electricity. It had enough power to completely fry a man.
- Bombs - The Joker will occasionally utilize cartoonishly large bombs or just regular bombs for blowing things up.
- Mallet – Though the giant mallet is usually a weapon used by Harley Quinn, the Joker is not opposed to using one to fight Batman. The mallet usually packs quite the punch, though it is rather heavy…
- Guns and Knives – Yep, just plain ol’ guns and knives. While rather commonplace, the Joker does see how useful they are and will usually have a pistol and a few knives on him just in case.
Joker-Copter: The Joker generally rides a large helicopter that can travel at high speeds. It is colored purple and green and has a ladder attached to it in case Joker wants to fire at someone from it or if he needs to make a quick escape and can't get to the actual helicopter in time. It is usually driven by a henchman, though the Joker has been known to kick his henchmen out and drive it himself. It is armed with missiles and machine guns.
Personal Information
Personality:
The Joker is sadistic and cruel, the kind that'd kill someone and then laugh about it afterwards. In fact, that's exactly what he does! The worst part about all this is that the Joker does the cruel, evil things he does every day to amuse himself. It's not because he has some big plan with everything he does or an actual motive. No, he just wants to cause chaos for funsies. What the Joker finds amusing is very different from what a normal person would find amusing. Many a dark joke about death will come out of Joker's mouth only to be followed by a loud laugh. Why? Because he genuinely finds evil deeds to be hilarious, if they're done right. The Joker can't stand a poorly-done crime.
The Joker is a straight up narcissist. He pretty much loves himself over anything and everything, even killing. The Joker never takes the thoughts of other people into consideration. That would just ruin the fun of killing them, after all. The Joker cares very much about his appearance and genuinely believes himself to be the most beautiful thing ever. The Joker also cares about his clothes and wouldn't be caught dead wearing anything other than his purple pinstripe suit. After all, why would someone as perfect as him wear anything other than his finest clothes?
With a flair for the dramatic, the Joker could be described as theatrical. Everything he does has to be big and fit his clownish motif. If something isn't funny, no matter how foolproof it is, the Joker will never go for it. Notably the Joker stopped Harley Quinn from killing Batman simply because the way she intended on doing so wasn't funny to him.
History:
The Joker's history is hideously long, so here is his DC Universe Wiki page. In brief summary, the Joker's history is clouded in mystery. Nobody quite knows just what happened to the Joker before he became the Joker, except for one thing: it all ended with him becoming a supervillain known as the Red Hood for one night, in which he fell into a chemical vat and has his skin bleached, his lips turned red and his hair turned green. As the Joker he became Batman's archenemy and committed both major and minor crimes. The Joker recently 'died' from Titan poisoning in the event Gotham would come to know as "Arkham City".
Once he arrived in this new world, the Joker was a tad disappointed. He had just come back from his little death at Arkham City all ready for some more fun when suddenly he was in some new Batman-less world. Well, at least until he got word that Batman was in town too. The Joker found a new Ha-Ha-Hacienda and got to work...
Sample Post

With the Batman around there was still work to be done for the Joker. It was truly unfortunate that the last thing poor Batty had seen of Joker's smiling face had been him dying.
Well, at least that meant he could re-enter the Bat's life in a glorious fashion! The Joker chuckled before tossing a bomb at the museum's door. The bomb exploded, revealing the inner area of the museum. The Clown Prince of Crime stepped in casually, twirling his cane as he did so. Soon he made his way to the reception desk, where a fearful worker had her hands up. "Yes, I'm here for the 6:00 tour." Joker said, before pulling a pistol out of his suit jacket's inside pocket and shooting her point blank in the face.
That was when the guards showed up. "Is this for all that jaywalking I did?" The Joker asked, laughing afterwards. The guards opened fire on Joker, who hid behind the group of gang members he'd brought along with him and occasionally fired into the guards. As soon as the room was cleared of guards, the Joker stepped over to the door and spoke. "I'm sure Batman will be here any minute. Have fun~" With that, he strolled right out.
