The Rogue Files: How Ivy Got Her Name part 1
Eddie and Ivy were sitting on the couch arguing which wasn't unusual, in fact it happened quite often. Ivy started screaming "The Riddler is nothing compared to Poison Ivy" and that's when Eddie lost it "you wouldn't even be Poison Ivy if it wasn't for me". It's true Eddie gave Pam the name Poison Ivy. It all started a while back when they both were starting out and first came to Arkham. Eddie already had his criminal name however but Pam didn't, and she ended up sitting next to Nygma during lunch while he was arguing with Aaron Cash. Eddie threw his lunch tray across the room and ended up hitting Bane in the back of the head. "AARON THIS FOOD IS UNEXCEPTBLE..., AND YOU WONDER WHY WE WANT TO ESCAPE SO BADLY". Aaron shook his head and started clapping his HANDS together. "I'M SORRY ED, I'll get right on that 5 star dining for the criminals" . Aaron walked away laughing while Eddie muttered "the only thing criminal around here is the food". Ivy sat next Edward reluctantly, she would later deny this but his little performance had scared her a little. Ed was solving sadoku puzzle and looked up slightly to see Ivy but looked back down at his puzzle, he didn't even acknowledge her. Ivy started to dig inside the food but upon the first bite she spit it back out. Ed leaned over, grabbed her tray and threw in the same direction that he had thrown his own, except this time he hit Killer Croc in the head. Pam at him angrily. Ed looked up at her and began to speak" why are you so angry you weren't going to eat it". Ivy looked at him puzzled. "It doesn't matter its the principle of the thing." Eddie turned his head up and began giggle miniclly, it started low and gargly before getting louder and clear."I like you", Pam couldn't help but blush a little as he smirked at her."What's your name?". He looked at her for a minute " Are you joking you don't know who I am, she shook her head. " I'm Edward Nygma, the Riddler, the clue leaving conundrum, the prince of puzzlers, king of cundrums. Ivy started to remember "oh now I remember gothams premeir Master mind" Ed started grinning "the one and only, now what is your name". Pamela Isley". "Oh your that plant lady who been killing people, so what's your villian name again". Pam eyes widened and she began to frown a little, "I don't have one" Eddie's smirk slowly turned into a frown and his eyes began to narrow. "What you need a name that strikes fear, that shows your power" he began to scream" you realy want people to run around screaming it's the Pam oh the Pam anything but the Pam". Ivy didn't like his tone but he had a point. "your right" Ed calmed down and fixed his hair "of coarse I'm right" she rolled her eyes "You don't want to bel like Mr V using your real name even Mr freeze at least changed the spelling". Victor v heard him "watch it Nygma I still have room for another tally". Ed leaned over and whisperd in her ear "he's just mad because Tally Man was already tacken" and victor grabbed the knife of his tray and scratch a tally onto his palm. Pam laughed he was kinda of funny, not stupid funny like the Joker but a Witty kind of funny. "Pam I have an idea" Eddy said slowly," what if I help you pick out a name it should have the in it thise names are popular right now the penguin, the Joker, and best of them all the Riddler". Ed's ego was tad much but his enthusiasm and charm made up for it. "ok "Pam said finally and Edward almost "simultaneously jumped onto the table top. Gather around everyone ate dear friend needs a new name". None of the guards seemed to pay him any mind even Cash. This went on for hours and one lunch was up theu continued there conversation in the rec room where Eddie stood on top of the table behind the couch. A man in the crowd of villians raised his hand. "I SWEAR TO GOD, DECKER IF YOU SUGGEST GREEN LADY AGAIN I'LL WILL BREAK ALL OF YOUR FINGERS OFF ONE BY ONE" and with this Crazy Quilt lowerd his hand. Pam noticed somthing, Eddie was genuinely frighteningly sadistic and quite terrifying, not that she was much better.
Ok, I said I'd make a list for my favorite villians.
Eraser- yes the batman Rouge dressed like a pencil payed to clean crime scenes. First he weird and colorful and second he fixable. He already has a good thing going he makes good money he can hide money and after going to jail be filthy stinking rich and they can't track the money, he is a fucking genuis.
Killer moth- he actually a genius who built all his gear and gets payed to fight batman. He also known to put up a pretty decent fight nothing amazing but good enough. There's nothing wrong with him he's capable his problem is he's just to ambitious. Batman called his suit awesome and was jealous of his tech, especially a certain exploding glove.
Toyman- I feel this one needs no reasoning because let's face it we all love him.
Twoface- he's just so unique, weird, and he fits well with many storys. I feel there a lack of meaningful stories with him being the main talking piece, even though he could easily do so. Twoface was in the first batman comic I ever read he's got some sentimental value to him.
Crazy Quilt- crazy and colorful, I can't realy explain in way you'll understand I just love him. I'm currently working on a project including him, might just redeem him.
Note: I feel like a lot of forgotten or underused villians have potential, we just never realy seem to search for it. We don't look for it because we assume they don't have any, we can make some of them better, in some cases serious villians.
Riddler- My absolute favorite villian, I'm gonna do a separate thing explaining him later.
Harley Quinn- I mean everyone loves her.
Ventriloquist- he torments himself. He's like twoface with a spilt personality, very unique villian. He's underrated in my opinion.
MadHatter- I feel the only thing wrong his him takeing a lady aginst her will otherwise he a pretty good villian highly underused, I mean mind control is a great skill to have, pretty scary on the receiving end he could ask you to kill you yourself and you would do it. Like twoface he has sentimental value and he's also underrated.
SweetTooth: you knew he was going to make it onto the list.
KiteMan: He's pretty awesome he can be a joke or you can make him serious, kinda like Killer Moth. I'm working on him as well.
Clock King: Another dude who rocks a bowler and carries cane.
Babydoll: She kinda bad ass ain't gonna lie
Music Miester: Honestly he just hilarious I can't I just can't explain it.
This is the list so far or the ones I could think of off the top of my head, this list could change later.
All of these guys are weird colorful crazies and I just love em for it. I told you I liked the weird and unique ones.
