Edward Nygma is a male Human who lives in the 24th century who is a disgruntled former Wayne Enterprises employee that is currently a patient at Arkham Asylum. After losing his job, he placed the blame on his idol, Bruce Wayne. Inspired by Two-Face, Nygma fashioned himself as the Riddler and turned to crime to gain power and revenge. Batman sentenced Nygma to be committed to Arkham Asylum for his crimes against Gotham, and his company is sunk down. Nygma later escaped from Arkham. (Birds of Prey)
