The Making Of a Villian

The Making Of a Villian

by Rifat Khan Inspired by characters and scenarios from DC Comics

“If you are hearing this it’s too late, the Superheroes have won. I tried to get a full army of soldiers but we couldn’t make it. I had the power to convert everyone and anyone I saw just with a look, but I failed. I picked the wrong people to fight for me. I’M SO STUPID! WHY, WHY, WHY did I pick regular civilians to fight for me. I’M SORRRRRYYYY TO WHOEVER I LET DOWN. Goodbye, I will be back.” This is the last message the Joker has left before disappearing.

As you can see, he is very disappointed in himself for not accomplishing what he wanted to do after all these years.

It all started when he was in middle school. He was going through it mentally. His real name is Esteban Malloy and he was thirteen years old at this time. He has been through so much that he has mental issues. He is bipolar, depressed, and he has PTSD. From all the trauma his parents and The Streets have given him, it was crazy to see him standing on ten toes every day, with a smile on his face. He says, “You have to smile in front of everyone to seem OK and happy, but cry when you’re alone.” He also went to jail many times but got out due to uncertain reasons. He used to have talks with his parents about his life choices but it often sounded like lions fighting.

He screams at the top of his lungs, “Y’ALL DON’T CARE ABOUT ME ALL YA CARE ABOUT IS HOW I ACT FOR OTHER PEOPLE.”

“WE DO CARE ABOUT YOU,YOU JUST DON’T LISTEN,” his mom says, screaming like a hyena. He keeps saying that his “friends” care about him. Little does he know, nobody does.

Joker loved being right and in other people’s eyes he was always right. Nobody knows how he does this but he always convinces people of doing something except his parents. Just like how Superman had a weakness of kryptonite, I think Joker’s weakness is his parents. He doesn’t believe that it’s a superpower though. He just believes he is a good talker and that people always believe him. He is an amazing liar as well. But, one thing is that he looks into someone’s eyes and they kind of get possessed in a way like they are part of him. But this was

all figured out when he was in eighth grade and would always tell the kids, “let’s put a smile on that face.”

After a while, he knew that there was something special about him. He robbed a bank and convinced everyone to not call the cops. He was finally aware of what he could do. He grew his hair out and put it in braids. He changed his whole identity. He was known as Esteban Malloy but now is known as the Joker. He annoys people so much to the point where they want to kill him. But he is so mysterious that he talks so much but at the same time no one can get him. He has to be the smartest villain ever. He once told a person, “Go die and I’ma piss on ya mom’s grave, GANGSTA!!!!” As disrespectful as he is he still never got touched. Everybody says he will get caught up one day but nothing ever happened. He was always hidden somewhere. Until the superheroes got involved.

When the superheroes got involved Joker was scared, he started panicking. He was panicking until his best friend Johnathan gave him the idea . . . “Yo bro why don’t you convert everyone you see to be on your side. And maybe you can give me the power so I can convert everyone.”

“Bro how do I even do that?” Joker said, and laughed hysterically. They tried and tried but there was no progress. Joker sent Johnathan on a mission to get some weapons. But Johnathan got jumped and failed the mission. When Johnathan got back to their little hideout, Joker was furious. He said calmly, “why didn’t you get my weapons.”

“I’m sorry, I couldn’t because I gave them too low of a price.” Johnathan said, with a shaky broken voice. His skin was almost peeled off. He was kicked and punched by seven people. His eyeballs almost came out while his tongue was ripped. He was bleeding from his mouth. But Joker was not going to accept that. He beat Johnathan more and fired him. Jonathan went to the hospital and the superheroes heard what happened.

These superheroes are the knockoff Justice League. But, they are still superheroes that save the world. When the superheroes got to the hospital they had to fight off all the workers because they were on the Joker’s side. They crept up slowly and they went through his memory. Joker knew they would do this so he fled the city. They found the little warehouse that he was hiding in and they couldn’t find one clue except a note which said, “Johnathan will see me later tonight.” That is a saying Joker made up which means that he is nearby. He knew the

superheroes would go all over but people did not know how the Joker looked without the braids and the changed face structure.

Everyone knew that the Joker would do this but the superheroes found out what he looked like in middle school. Just like we all knew his parents ratted him out. They are really his kryptonite. The superheroes went to a place called Drankson and it’s the most beautiful place on Mars. Joker always said he would go there after converting everyone and that’s exactly what he did. But the thing is that he didn’t know people would find him.

The superheroes had to make a special spacecraft to go to where Joker was. But Joker took a vacation back to Earth because he heard the superheroes were trying to come get him. But the mission he tried to do this whole time failed. The city Drankson was full of bombs Joker had placed. On the plane he took back, he blew the city up, but the superheroes weren’t there yet. The superheroes were waiting for him to land. He got tricked by his intel.

It was the end for the Joker. He was basically caught but when he landed there was a whole army of superheroes. He was scared that his plan didn’t work. He looked out the window of the plane and started shaking. They were yelling, “Joker, your time has come. Now come out and accept your fate.” Nobody knows where the Joker is because he has never come out of the plane. The superheroes scanned the whole plane and he was nowhere to be seen. He has disappeared, but has left a message. “If you are hearing this it’s too late . . . ”
