Edward Nygma

"Does that thing look like a giant cat to you?"

-Nygma's Final Words

Edward Nygma, also known as the Riddler, was a villain turned Anti-Hero during the Age of Reclamation. His selfish tendencies remained on both sides, however his villainous persona was much more malicious and vane while his anti-hero personality was more loyal. At first afraid of his own intelligence and somewhat of an egomaniac, Ed joined the side of good upon realizing Jar Jar's threat, and though his split personality almost resulted in the death of his friends, Nygma was eventually able to finally gain control, fighting both with and for his friends til the end.

The Woodchipper Incident
After being forced to build the Woodchippers for Jar Jar, Nygma was forced to sit and watch the chaos he had caused from a pier near the destroyed Arkham Asylum. Batman and Sans soon arrived wanting answers to the chaos, forcing Nygma to explain that he had built the machine due to his life being in danger, and he severely regretted it, wanting nothing to do with mass murder, and he feared for his life. The battle ended shortly after this exchange, and Nygma was forced to go with Gannondorf to find Tabuu.

Joining the Woodchip Insurgents
Nygma wound up onboard Grievous' ship The Invisible Hand, and watched the battle of Mon Cala. He pleaded with Grievous to let him board an escape pod, but this plea was unsuccessful. The ship crashed into the planetwide ocean. Nygma was able to find an oxygen mask and swim away, but was knocked out and kidnapped by Ness and Lucas, who wanted to turn him in for a bounty, an idea that he scoffed at when he woke up 4 days later. Suddenly, their ship was discovered by The Woodchip Insurgents, who questioned Lucas and Ness' intentions. Though bound, Nygma made the crew uneasy by threatening them.

Nygma was forced to travel to Naboo along with the rest of the Woodchip Insurgents, and was left onboard the ship while the crew left to find Davy Jones, being guarded by Barbossa, who he bribed to let him free (Barbossa not nearly as stupid as he looked left a tracker on Nygma's suit jacket). Barbossa willingly gave the tracker to Davy Jones not long afterwards, laughing at the prospect of finding Nygma. Nygma however ran into Eddie Brock in an alleyway, who defended him by using the Venom symbiote.

The pair (after seeing the batwing) attempted to board it and start it's flight modules, but were stopped by Jar Jar's lightning, resulting in it's crash in Theed Palace. When Jar Jar began disintegrating the planet's residents, Nygma and Venom made their way to the portal, but Nygma, who knew he was unable to make it, pulled out the Ash Resimulator, a device that would allow his life force to be revived, throwing it to Batman, and was disintigrated by Jar Jar, his green ashes entering the machine, as most of the Woodchip Insurgents made their way through the portal.

Revival and Skirmish on the UNSC Envision
Nygma was brought back to life after escaping the void when Batman reactivated the Ash Resimulator, allowing for his body to be formed again. In shock, Nygma questioned why they were on eagles, to the hilarity of the rest of the group. Upon arriving on the UNSC Envision, Nygma made his way to the Cargo hold, knowing that any encounter with Clones would result in his own arrest. He was not long after found by Batman, who took him to his personal quarters to be put under his personal supervision. Nygma revealed that he knew Batman's identity, Selina (whose annoyance was growing) simply insulted him, and when Batman was forced to leave to fight in the Invasion of the Envision, Nygma pointed out Selina's obvious feelings for Bruce. Selina did not take kindly to this, shooting him in the lower rib as a result.

He was discovered by clones, who transferred him to the medical bay, but knowing there would be no way for the doctors to heal his wound and possible paralysis quick enough, Venom used his own symbiote to heal Nygma himself. The two made their way to an escape pod, but were ambushed by Selina inside, who tied the two up, and interrogated them on how to get to the Subspace (Selina suffering from severe stress at this point). Nygma noted that the only real way to do that would be to get Jar Jar's attention, which she did using Nygma as a hostage, a gambit that only resulted in her personal disintigration at the hands of Jar Jar, and resulted in Nygma and Venom being kidnapped and put in cages by Jar Jar.

The Battle of Subspace-1
Nygma and Venom remained captured throughout the entire battle, until Frisk arrived in Jar Jar's mausoleum, freeing the two to join Mabel, Dipper, and Lock to activate the then defunct Subspace temple. Though Nygma did not participate in the Skirmish with R11, he did find his CPU fascinating, deciding to keep it when R11 was blown to bits. The remaining members still on Subspace-1 made their way to the shuttle nearby, which Nygma was able to fly back to Earth.

The Siege of Gotham
Following Nygma's return to Earth, he was subsequently arrested for his crimes and put into Blackgate prison along with Venom and Selina, despite the Woodchip Insurgents making a case for them to be released. Three months after his incarceration, Nygma arranged a meeting with Durge, Clark Griswold, Selina, Venom, Cad Bane, and Bossk. Joker however, murdered Cad Bane, chopping his head off, and taking his place in the group, much to Nygma's annoyance. The escape still went as planned and was successful for all members, including Nygma, Venom, and Selina, who escaped together. When reaching a safe distance, Nygma shot Selina in the gut, revenge for his personal betrayal on the UNSC Envision and left her to die.

Returning to his base of operations for the first time in months, Nygma (now fully entrenched in his Riddler personality) began to rebuild R11, who's modules he had almost repaired from the Battle of Subspace-1. Though Venom questioned Riddler's plan, he went along with it, knowing that he would have a window of oppurtunity to get Ed Nygma's personality back. Upon rebuilding R11, he lied to him, telling him the Reclaimers were dead, and that he was trying to kill those who did it, a plan R11 obliged with. The three loaded up in an armored truck and made their way to Gravity Falls, where they knew that many of the former Woodchip Insurgents were residing.

Falling in Love
Though Riddler arrived in Gravity Falls intending on killing many of his former friends, this plan ultimately failed due to R11 discovering Mabel's survival, and the group subduing him. Riddler was then tied up inside the shack, where he was interrogated by Ness, Lucas, and Venom, who loaded him back onto the Armored Truck, and delivered him to the Batcave to be monitored by Bruce. Upon arrival, Nygma was put in the medical bay, but quickly escaped to go find Selina, an urge that he had no idea why he felt. Upon finding her, he proposed a partnership to give her the upper hand, and then healed her wound with a chemical reaction similar to Venom's symbiote, even asking if she was ok, a question which she reacted strangely to.

Behind the scenes, Nygma was buried inside of Riddler's conciousness, and was able to sway the emotion inside of his body due to Riddler not using any of his. This resulted in a dead drop, the Riddler falling love with Selina Kyle quickly and out of nowhere, despite his hatred for her. Though Riddler was quickly found and strapped down, he still seemed worried over the pain of Selina, as his hasty concoction ended up making her pain worse. She eventually passed out, causing Riddler to feel guilt for the first time. He began to argue with his Nygma personality, who mocked him for losing control of his body, which caused Nygma to scream at him, only for him to realize he was talking to himself.

Batman later arrived in the medbay, forcing Selina and Riddler out, and strapping them up to participate in the Battle of Gravity Falls, a prospect Riddler would have normally rejected, but found himself unable to control the answer. Though he only participated in the end of the battle, he managed to kill many of the Gravemind's warriors, shooting them with a machine gun. After the battle, he once again found himself talking with his split personality, who caused him to even further fall for Selina, to the point where it was almost a state of hypnosis. He joined the heroes, participating in the Battle of Gotham not long after. When Chara and R11 escaped into the Subspace, the UNSC provided ships to pursue, to which Selina asked if he was coming or not. Too much for the Riddler personality to take, a wave of a emotions hit him, causing him to spout to Selina that he loved her, the final nail in the coffin resulting in the return of Ed Nygma's personality, who was glad to finally be back with his friends.

The 1st Battle of Subspace-2
Aboard the Pelican, Nygma witnessed the kidnapping of Mabel Pines, which furthered his determination to get to the surface. Upon arrival, R11's AI constructs attacked the heroes, to which Nygma fought side by side with Batman, joking about how he had never thought they would be in the situation they were in, and were joined by Selina in fighting the bots not long afterwards. After defeating the majority of the bots, the three made their way back inside the temple discovering that the countdown had been stopped by Frodo, and that Dipper had died protecting his sister. Nygma mourned for seconds before running onto the Pelican, realizing that the Gravemind was about to betray them. When Sans, Mabel, and Frisk fell off the ship, the rest of the crew jumped to hyperspace.

The Sith Massacre
Upon returning to Coruscant, the Moonstruck Flower crew discovered the destruction that the Sith had wrought on the galaxy while they were away, with Malgus leaving behind a crude message to all of those who would challenge him. Following this message, the Pelican was pulled into a tractor beam onto the Forward Unto Dawn. Nygma suited up, strapping himself with guns and rebuilding his signature golden cane. Unfortunately, it was not enough to sway the Sith forces, and the group was forced into an audience with Darth Malgus, who asked for the Pelican crew to join him. When his offer was rejected, he imprisoned the crew, setting course to attack Sanghelios.

Nygma was able to set up a recovery beacon inside of Master Chief's suit before it was forcefully taken off by Sith Guards. Nygma's own effects were taken as well, and he was forced to wear a prison jumpsuit. While looking towards the skyline, Selina noticed the Moonstruck Flower arriving (inside which Harley, Ivy, Lobot, Frisk, Mabel, and R11 had come to rescue them) and mused that the underline of the ship looked like a cat, causing annoyance to Nygma when an argument over it burst out in the room due to boredom. His Riddler personality resurfaced for a second only to be drowned by Nygma once again.

Final Reunion
Nygma was returned his effects upon being released by Harley and Ivy, and made his way to the Moonstruck Flower to escape. The reunion party was a happy one, and Nygma and Venom were able to reunite for the first time since the Battle of Subspace-1. Nygma also talked to Selina about his outburst when boarding the Pelican, revealing that he still had feelings for her (despite both expecting and receiving rejection for it). He then made fun of her feelings for Bruce, called her his pet, to which she might have shot him again, and they moved their seperate ways.

The 2nd Battle of Subspace-2 and Sacrifice
The group was able to get onto the surface of Takodana, where they met with Revan and discussed their plan to destroy Subspace-2 once and for all, realizing that the Nuclear Reactor was the only way to kill both the Gravemind and Malgus while destroying the Subspace in one fell swoop. Though Revan, Master Chief, and Hawk volunteered to carry out the plan, Nygma and Sans realized that they would need more firepower in order for the plan to be a success, and snuck onboard the Moonstruck Flower. Upon arriving to the Subspace, Sans, Master Chief, and Revan were able to injure Malgus enough for Nygma to strap a tow cable to his back while the Moonstruck Flower flew into the Gravemind detonating the Nuclear Reactor. His last thoughts focused on Selina, he asked Malgus if the ship looked like a cat while laughing in his victory. Malgus crushed his ribs, causing him to latch onto Malgus when the Nuclear Reactor went off. Though Master Chief and Sans were able to escape, he, along with Hawk and Revan, gave his life to save the Multiverse.

Afterlife
The Funeral for Nygma was a short one, though during it, Selina mused that "He never did know when to quit." and though she left a green rose with thorns on the tombstone, Mabel picked it up and put it in her pocket, thinking she would give it to him when she found him.

Nygma and Dipper became good friends in heaven, often drinking together, and had a habit of spending days on end asking Axolotl questions about the universe. He also had heard about the fake version of himself, who he 'paid a visit' to, in the void. This was later erased when Dipper convinced Nygma to help him save the multiverse, agreeing to return to Earth and warn them of the oncoming threat. The two built a set of armor after much tribulation, but upon reaching the gate, Nygma realized he didn't deserve it, arguing with Dipper, before kicking him into the portal. His last thoughts were to tell Selina he said 'hi'. Little did he know it was part of Axolotl's plan.
