Greetings nerdy list aficionados we are back with even more dangerous Arkham inmates.
You all can’t get enough and well Gotham is just a dangerous dangerous place Batman
has his hands full it’s no wonder he’s ended up in Arkham himself a few times cause
we have even more inmates to talk about.
Now where’s Kelly you may be asking well she called Ra’s Al Ghul Ra’s Al Ghul so
she’s In Arkham now.
I’m Sasha and these are the Top 10 Most Dangerous Inmates in Arkham Asylum Part 4
- Number 10 Calendar Man – A lot of people
forget about Calendar Man – as his gimmick seemed well a little weak committing crimes
on specific holidays based on the holiday’s theme a motif that probably seemed less silly
back in 1958 when the character debuted in Detective Comics #259.
However, over the years the character has morphed into a credible crazed and dangerous
threat.
The character got a massive overhaul in Batman the long Halloween where he managed to go
toe to toe with the dark knight himself on a mental level keeping him on his toes.
Since Rebirth he now has meta abilities gaing and de-aging alongside the seasons still obsessed
with the perfect themed crimes.
Calendar Man showcases that with enough planning and forsight one can be a threat even from
Arkham itself.
As some of his plans have been carried out while he was still locked away.
Number 9 Lock Up This character comes to us from the DCAU that being the dc animated universe
the interconnected universe that began in 1992 with Batman the animated series and ended
in 2006 with the conclusion of justice league unlimited.
This character comes from Batman tas and is yet another character to
make the leap from that series into the comics themselves a la Harley quinn.
Lock Up Lyle Bolton was a guard at Arkham who felt that things were far too lax and
sets about revolutionizing it however his methods were so ahrsh they abused the inmates
and led to him being fired which caused him to go down a path of supervillainy that ultimately
led to him being locked up in Arkham himself.
The danger here is obvious he knows the ins and outs of the system people are already
breaking out left right and centre and now someone who worked in security there is locked
inside…poor planning Gotham poor planning.
The only good thing was for a time he was content to keep people from escaping from
the inside.
Number 8 – Jean Loring.
Jean Loring comes to us from a rather contentious story arc in DC that now thanks to the new
52 and rebirth is long past but will never be forgotten and we’re talking about Identity
Crisis.
A tale in which heroes significant others are being murdered and the heroes are trying
to find out who is doing it who has access and why well it turns out the culprit was
Jean Loring the Atom’s ex wife who wanted to get back together with him so conceived
of a plan to murder the loved ones of heroes to get him to come back to her and protect
her.
Even going so far as to stage an attack on herself once this was discovered the atom
took her to Arkham asylum.
Just locking her up with some of the most dangerous villains while she has full knowledge
of a lot of their identities.
Atom what are you doing security there is terrible.
Next time an actual credited villain will be murdering family members.
Number 7 Cornelius Stirk first appeared back in 1988 in detective comics #592 Cornelius
Stirk is a serial killer who has the ability to make his victims see him as someone else
he uses this ability to get close to his victims and eat their hearts after inducing fear in
them as he believes he needs the fear hormones to live.
The funny thing well not funny haha more like funny huh he was actually released form arkham
in his first appearance declared sane but then he stopped taking his meds and it was
not only back to murder but back to Arkham.
He’s not used to much but when he is it’s terrifying.
He could be anyone he’s like the salt creature from Star Trek.
Number 6 – Charlatan this is the tale of what happens when you have someone who gets
too close to an og villain don’t do it just stop.
Paul Sloan was an actor who was hired to play two face in a kind of lifetime movie however
during filming the prop master switched out the fake acid for real acid and gave him initially
the exact same disfigurement and later it was far worst.
This sent him off the deep end and also lead to him being highly confused as to whether
or not he was two face or not.
In the modern version he was hired by rogues to impersonate two face and tortured by the
scarecrow til he lost the ability to feel fear at all.
Driven mad he set out to take down the villains that hired him.
Well Batman can’t have that that’s his job.
So off to Arkham with him.
Heh maybe he can get them in there.
Number 5 – Ragdoll – So there have been multiple Ragdolls.
For our purposes we need the First Peter Merkel but in a new 52 continuity.
Ragdoll is a villain with the ability to just completely compress himself so he can collapse
and move under things like a ragdoll hence the name.
He uses his abilities for evil as you do.
While really he could probably end up in Blackgate Batman comics have a tendency to put metas
into Arkham as if their abilities make them even crazier.
Maybe it does.
Number 4 Humpty Dumpty –This character first appeared in 2003 in the comic Arkham Asylum
living hell.
Humpty has a compulsive need to fix things the only problem not all the things he fixes
are broken and in the process he breaks them causing things like subway accidents.
He focuses on mechanical items that offend him in some way.
This obsession lands him in arkham where he’s actually one of the better inmates he even
fixes things for the other prisoners there such as repairing the ventriolquists Dummy.
The only problem is he doesn’t know what he’s doing is wrong so if he gets out he
will do it again.
And no one knows what he will try to fix next.
Number 3 – Dollmaker.
The dollmaker is the son of Toyman who developed a complex due to a lack of affection from
his villainous father who loved other children far more than him.
This set him on a quest to one up his father as he sought to truly hurt with his toys.
After being taken on by supergirl he is thrown in Arkham because everyone is just dumping
their villains into Arkham no aylums in Metropolis I guess.
I mean they all talk in there this is how villain leagues get started!
Number 2 The Psycho Pirate –for our purposes we’re talking about the second Psycho Pirate
Roger Hayden.
The psycho pirate posses a magic mask with the power to project emotions but that’s
far from what makes him dangerous.
Even though his powers could be augmented to great affect so that he could even control
people.
No he rose to truly dangerous prominence during Crisis on Infinite Earths which was a major
DC story event where they decided their multiverse and characters were out of control so they
constructed a climactic event to merge the universes and kill off unwanted characters
this occurred in 1985 to 1986.
After this event the psycho pirate was the only person for a time who remembered what
was which drove him mad and lead to him being imprisoned in arkham but he also contained
the ability to bring those characters and universes forth if he was ever able to become
sane again.
He even managed to bring some characters back during Grant Morisson’s Animal Man Run.
Since then and after even more reboots his powers are back to what they were when they
started, but for a time he could have undone all reality.
But I mean DC does that themselves anyway.
Number 1 – Who could it be well it’s Jason Todd.
The second Robin unless you’re in the DCAU verse.
Jason Todd was infamously killed by the Joker beaten by the Joker and left in a building
wired to explode his fate left up to reader vote.
Which rumour has it was ultimately decided by an angry fan with his phone on redial.
Later the character was resurrected when Superboy Prime punched that walk that ricocheted across
reality creating all kinds of changes.
However, when Jason first returned he was far from fine and for a time far from sane.
Grant Morrison’s Batman and Robin run saw the character being held in Arkham for observation
after all the havoc he had wrought.
Killing villains, attempting to take down the rest of the bat family during the battle
for the cowl arc.
Really Tim should never walk again after all that but if we dealt with injuries in comics
realistically no one would be able to move ever again.
Dick was keeping him in there for his own safety allegedly but really how safe is that
he’s real lucky that Jason was just bitter and not actually insane otherwise again secrets
revealed alliances formed people dead.
Which did happen while he was there even more so after he was successfully transferred to
black gate when he was the inmate suicide rate spiked.
A bitter ex bat family member with an axe to grind a menace to villains and heroes alike
sounds like a dangerous inmate to me.
So those were 10 more of the dangerous Arkham inmates part 4.
Just Gotham that poor city, those poor people, imagine the insurance rates.
So of all our lists we’ve got 40 characters to choose from now let me know who you think
the most dangerous is of all of them 1 like equals a day off of Kelly’s Arkham sentence.
