Edward Nashton was a narcissistic and egotistical homicide detective working for the GCPD in 1990s Gotham City. He has a huge obsession with puzzles and riddles, often treating the cases he worked on as a giant puzzle. He doesn’t solve crimes out of the goodness of his own heart, but instead because he wants to be hailed and praised by everyone for being so smart, as he felt he deserved all of the attention in the world. He’s also the most eccentric person on the force, always dressed in bright green and has a habit of giving important information in the form of a riddle. Unfortunately, after a while he gets so good at solving murders that there’s no challenge to it anymore, and Edward enjoys nothing more than a challenge. One night while at his girlfriend’s house, he murders her in a blind rage after she insulted his intelligence. Seeing a golden opportunity, Edward disposes of her body and frames an escaped serial killer named Victor Zsasz for the crime. He does it all so flawlessly, that no one on the force is able to figure out it was him for a few months. Unfortunately, Edward simply can’t keep it a secret, and soon realizes that he could prove his intellectual superiority in a different way. Instead of solving crimes, he’ll actively commit them, and leave behind riddles and puzzles to see if the police could decipher them in order to figure out his next crime. He then adopts the name: The Riddler, in lieu of his gimmick.
