Ghoul was one of the Jokerz who followed the rejuvenated Joker. He was heavily into techno-goth music and has adapted a Halloween theme into his costume. Ghoul was never without his witch hat and plastic jack-o-lantern which he kept filled with a number of monster-inspired weapons and tricks.
History[]
DCAU[]
He joined a sub-gang of the Jokerz before the group soon fell under the control of the Joker. He served as the group's techie, manning the computers and technical equipment. He was usually paired up with Woof before the police arrested the gang.
Alternate Future[]
In the alternate future created by Chronos, Ghoul was upgraded to have a robotic buzz saw implanted in place of his arm, and was shown to be able to retract that and swap between his arm and the buzz saw. In addition, like the energy whips of the alternate timeline Dee-Dee, the destructive sparklers released from his exploding Jack O' Lantern are composed of an unknown energy that can easily pierce the energy shields and constructs of Green Lanterns (as the energy was colored yellow).
Futures End[]
Ghoul appeared in a possible future to New Earth continuity. He is shown alongside the Joker gang and resurrected Joker, fighting Terry McGinnis' Batman.
Abilities & Equipment[]
Ghoul is not much of a physical fighter, virtually always being the easiest member of the gang Batman has beaten (usually with one punch). He does seem to have a vast knowledge of technology, as he was able to locate equipment for The Joker's plan. With his upgrades in an alternate future, he was considerably much more of a threat, although he was still brought down easily when confronted by the League.

Background Information[]
Trivia[]
- Much like his Kevin Spacey impression that formed the basis of Deadshot's voice performance, Michael Rosenbaum based the vocal inflection of Ghoul on actor Christopher Walken. Walken had played the villain Max Shreck in Batman Returns.
- By his own admission, Ghoul wet the bed until he was fourteen.
- Despite being with a group of Joker devotees, Ghoul's costume seems to pay homage to Scarecrow.
