Riddler is Edward Nygma, a criminal genius whose obsession with proving his intellectual superiority drives him to challenge Batman with elaborate riddles and deadly puzzles. Believing himself to be the smartest man in any room, he cannot resist leaving clues that give his opponents a chance to solve his crimes. His narcissism and compulsive need for recognition often become his greatest weaknesses. Despite lacking superpowers, Riddler remains one of Gotham City's most dangerous masterminds through sheer intelligence and meticulous planning.
