Riddler has been made several times, and although they absolutely capture his power as a support piece, one detail continues to bother me about a Riddler who plays well with others. The fact is Riddler's Arrogance prevents him from playing a supportive role. He believes he is the most cunning man on Earth, and there for would never, could never, and should never be someone else's pawn. In most versions of him we see this play out, in the Arkham Video Game series, he has down right taken offense to any offers from other Batman Enemies, having even been quoted saying,"I refuse to be part of someone else's scheme, however I may be persuaded to enact my own agenda at the same time as yours." Riddler has always been one of my favorite power players and as much as I have loved him in movies, cartoons, and games. My favorite version of him to date would have to be Scott Snyder's concept during Zero Year. Not only did Greg Capullo accurately portrait the perfect depiction of the Masked Puzzler, but Snyder's story showed us the true terror that Mr. E truly is. True Riddler can be his own worst enemy, but he has at least one similar trait with Batman. Something most Batman Fans are all to fast to remind every other fan, that with enough preparation, Batman always wins. In the story of Zero Year, not only was Riddler intellectually superior to Batman, but he managed to beat Batman down multiple times, forcing Batman to continuously adapt. Putting this knowledge to use I have created a Riddler that gets better and better as the game continues, and as you get closer and closer to taking down Worlds Cleverest Carbon-Based Life Form, you'll realize all to soon that all you've managed to do is SNAP the trap.

Riddle: A Simple Answer to a Circuitous Question.: Riddler can use Stealth. "I've Programmed these Riddler-Bots...": At the beginning of your turn, you may choose a square within range and line of fire and place a Riddler-Bot bystander token as included with this card in the chosen square. If there are no friendly Riddler-Bot bystander tokens on the map, this is a free action. If there is 1 friendly Riddler-Bot bystander token on the map, this is a power action. If there are 2 or more friendly Riddler-Bot bystander tokens on the map, this is a double power action. "Tell me how it feels to be one step behind.": Riddler has Perplex, when he uses it, modified combat values on the target are modified by 1, or by 2 if the target has two action tokens. When using Perplex he may draw lines of fire and count range from any friendly character with Riddler-Bot in their name. "RRRRIDDLE ME THIS, BATMAN...": Riddler can use Side Step. Once at the beginning of your turn, choose: Outwit, or Probability Control. Riddler can use that power until your next turn. "This is where things get a little trickier...": Riddler can use Precision Strike, and can use Smoke Cloud as a free action, but only to place 2 squares of hindering terrain. "The REAL Game is just beginning!": The first time this click is revealed, stop turning the dial and remove all actions tokens from Riddler. Riddler can use Quintessence, Mastermind, and Super Senses but only succeeds on a result of 6. When he uses Mastermind, friendly characters with the name Riddler-Bot are considered adjacent.
