User blog:MaleficiousVillain/Gotham City of Demons: Character Reimaginings

This blog post is dedicated to the biographies of reimaginings of several Batman characters which I've created. I have all of the bios already planned out but they take some time to type out so stay tuned for updates to the page if interested.

The Penguin
Name: Oswald Cobblepott Oswald Cobblepott was the only child of Tucker and Esther Cobblepott who were the only direct members of the Cobblepott Family which was one of Gotham's four founding families. Oswald himself was born hideously deformed and disfigured with a hunched back, a long beak-like nose, pointed crooked teeth, conjoined fingers and toes, along with also having a vertically challenged stature. Oswald's father hated Oswald for having been born a horrifying monster, and often beat Oswald while forcing him to stay locked away in their manor's attic for most of the day, feeding him nothing but scraps. The only kindness which Oswald recieved from any family member was from his mother who took pity on the boy but also feared Tucker far too much to try and let Oswald out from his prison, so instead she would visit him whenever she could to talk with him and bring books and good food to eat, mostly seafood as that became Oswald's favourite. One night when Oswald was eight years old and Tucker was on the drunk after a party being hosted by the Wayne Family, Tucker became even more enraged at Oswald after having seen the Wayne's child Bruce and began brutally beating him to a bloodied pulp with an umbrella to the horror of Esther who was screaming and crying but forced to watch. When Esther finally decided that she had enough, she tried to speak up against Tucker only for him to retalliate against her through physical violence. After seeing his father attacking his mother, Oswald became enraged and got up from the floor to tackle Tucker to the ground, using his pointed teeth to bite off Tucker's ear in the process. The drunken Tucker fought back by trying to strangle Oswald only for Oswald to notice the bloodied umbrella nearbye and forced the pointed end through Tucker's eye socket and into his brain. Even after Tucker finally died, Oswald continued beating his father's cadaver with the umbrella. After Tucker's death, Esther helped Oswald get rid of the body and use some of the family wealth to bribe the corrupt police and make certain that her son would never be prosecuted for the murder. With Tucker finally out of the picture, Oswald was finally able to attend school and go out in public, but due to his deformities, angry outbursts and socially awquard nature from having been locked away from the world for eight years, Oswald was outcasted and bullied. At the same time as this, Oswald's mother's mental health began drastically deterioarating, prompting her to become delusional and depressed, having to be sent to Arkham for professional help. By High School, Oswald grew to passionately hate his peers, and deciding to devote himself to become better then the rest of them, Oswald began using money and resourced from behind his beloved mother's back to create a small black market ring for teens which sold inexpensive weapons, alcohol and drugs. Slowly building up his criminal empire, the 17 year old Oswald chose to make connections with the Holy Roman Empire which was the name of the most powerful crime family in Gotham at the time, being lead by the notorious Carmine "The Roman" Falcone. Oswald offered limited use of his family's vast connections, resources, property and wealth to the Roman and in exchange Oswald would be taken under their wing and taught to be a great gangster, a deal which the Roman agreed to. Over the years, the other criminals came to know Oswald as "The Penguin", a name which he had deep distain for but pretended to be fine with as he needed to be on the Romans' side as much as humanly possible for his master plan to work out. As the Penguin, Oswald always dressed in high end suits as a way to make himself feel superior while also always carrying around the umbrella which he used to murder his father as a memento of why he does what he does. By the time that Oswald was in his late 20s, Oswald began operating behind the Roman Empire's back, using his family's military connections as well as connections to Powers Enterprise to optain high-end weapons and drugs to sell on the street to small gangs in exchange for loyalty while also anonymously selling the same weapons and certain pieces of information to the Roman Empire's greatest adversaries in the criminal underworld, the Maroni Empire. At the same time, Oswald began to give anonymous tips about the Roman Empire and the weapons being sold on the street to Gotham's D.A. Harvey Dent and the then lieutenant Jim Gordon. By the end of the year, although some things went according to plan and some things didn't, both Carmine Falcone and Sal Maroni were killed, leaving their lower level associates to split up the empire amongst themselves. Before this meeting, Oswald had his associates at Powers Enterprise install a concealed silenced plastic rapid-fire pistol capable of not being detected by metal detecters into his father's umbrella and also replace the fabric with a high-caliber polymer so that it could serve as a shield from bullets and knives. When the time for the meeting to split up the Roman Empire finally came, Oswald asked to give a few words in memory of the late Carmine. Oswald then delivered a speach on Carmine was an old school mobster, and how that was the reason that he got taken down, because he refused to adapt and evolve with Gotham and chose not to see that the new masters of the city were no longer the mobsters, but instead Gotham belonged to the freaks. He then told everyone that he planned to learn from Carmine's mistakes and evolve, but in order for evolution to be possible, you must let the old species die and let natural selection take wing. With that said Oswald raised his umbrella rifle and gunned down every single mobster in the room, using the polymer fabric as a shield from their bodyguards' bullets. So with that having been done, and all of Gotham's greatest original mobsters being dead, the Penguin was left the most powerful crime-lord of Gotham.
