Oswald Cobblepot
for Oswald Cobblepot in Penguin
Suggested by damarioncoleman
Born into Gotham’s 2nd richest family, Oswald Cobblepot had it rough due to his physical deformities, which included a beak-like nose and fingers that resembled flippers. Oswald was the black sheep of the Cobblepot family, always bullied by his 3 brothers, his father, and the children at his boarding school, who nicknamed him Penguin. His sainted mother was the only person who ever showed him any kindness, and therefore he would always do anything to protect her. Eventually, with only birds for friends and a brilliant mind, Oswald took the “treat others the way you want to be treated” rule to heart, and he sought revenge on all of those who wronged him, managing to either kill or threaten anyone who treated him poorly. With his brothers gone and his father dead from pneumonia, Oswald took his nickname to heart and used his family’s fortune to make himself the king of Gotham’s Criminal Underworld.
