HISTORY

A chemical plant outside Gotham City where a mellow and unsure man once worked. Allegedly (although it has never been confirmed as the truth), the man attempted a 'get rich quick'-scheme to support his family, and joined the criminal Red Hood gang. Then led them through the Ace Chemical plant in order to rob the Monarch Playing Card company next door. The plan backfired and the fleeing Red Hood accidentally plunged into a pool of chemical wastes. Reacting with the man's DNA, the goo turned his hair green, his lips rouge-red and his skin chalk-white. Finally going mad under the stress, the man became the Joker – Gotham's Clown Prince of Crime. The current state of Ace Chemicals is unknown.
