BIOGRAPHY:

Even as a little boy, Edward Nygma loved riddles and puzzles. When he grew up, Nygma turned his passion into a career. He became a video game designer and soon invented a popular game called Riddle of the Minotaur. The game sold millions of copies, but Nygma didn’t receive a dime from the manufacturer. To get his revenge, Nygma became the Riddler, a cryptic criminal who leaves clues to his crimes.

  1. The Riddler’s cane is shaped like a question mark. This weapon can deliver a shocking blast—the Riddler’s answer to his toughest problems.
  2. The Riddler doesn’t just want to break the law. He wants to outsmart Batman as well. Before every crime, the Riddler first sends a clue to Batman.
  3. The Riddler’s real name suits him perfectly. Edward Nygma, or E. Nygma for short, sounds like the word “enigma,” which means a mysterious person.
  4. Harry Houdini is one of the Riddler’s greatest heroes. This real-life magician is famous for his stunts, tricks, and great escapes.
