Similar to Joker, during Bruce's time away from Gotham there were another criminal who popped up known as the Riddler, one who commited crimes and left clues and riddles taunting the police. That is until his accidental death during his arrest. But little did anyway know that Edward Nygma had a daughter in secret named Emelia, one who would wind up going to Gotham University with the new comissioner's daughter Barbara Gordon and one of the daughters of the District Atterny in form of Duela Dent before discovering the turth of her father. Already displeased at certain heads of the Univeristy for corruption and realizing that a good chunk of the discrimination from her life came from how her dad was even though she never knew him, Emelia decided it was time to prove her worth and became the the second Riddler. One that would go on to expose the corruption at Gotham University through her crimes and mind games, one that was less murderous and violent than the original Riddler, one whose actions would unintentionally lead to the birth of Scarecrow and the events of the finale for Saga 1 of The Batman of Gotham much to her own shock. Despite now being a criminal, she's more neutral than anything and is almost strick in her two goals. Expose corruption and prove her brilliance against the Batman who fought her. She's still friendly with Barbara and Duela despite everything, even after Barbara eventually becomes Batgirl. She serves as the main antagonist of Arc 3, alongside Harley who isn't getting art for this since I already did her a last year. Might draw Harley again next time though Up next though is the last fullbody Atomic DC picture for this event/project, one I've technically drawn before but will leave a surprise until then!

Here we have penultimate character for the Atomic DC project I'm doing, the Riddler or rather the Riddler II in the form of Emelia Nygma, secret daughter of the original Riddler before his death!

First up, the red hot firery flame Volcana was once regular old Claire Selton, an average teen girl in Metropolis not that different outside of being a bit rebelious. That is until waking up and finding she had gained pyrokinetic powers and was quickly being hunted down by a shady group but found herself saved by none other than the Man of Steel himself and (to the surpise of many) LexCorp drones. Despite a fight and some misunderstandings, Superman offered to help hide Volcana until the heat died down or they were able to take down those who wanted to kidnap and use her, taking her to a place he had been thinking of making out in the Arctic after some thought earlier that day; A place to cool down and recharge by himself, a Fortress of Solitude of sorts. Yeah, Volcana's arc would be the one that introduces the Fortress of Solitude and gives her somewhere at least more homely to stay than a deserted island.

The ever shocking Leslie Willis, aka Livewire, is a lot more different than her original appearance as here she's a punk rock and general rock and roll loving radio DJ who doesn't really care about much aside from having fun. Almost seeing Superman as a kindred spirits as he "just doing what he wants, just like me". That is until an incident at a LexCorp expo she's forced to attend ends with her electrocuted by a strange device, turning her into the electrifing Livewire who Superman is forced to hunt down and stop before she goes too far with her powers and drains the city in a power mad frenzy. Afterwords though, I've come to imagine her beign a neutral force more interested in following her own beat and hosting her own pirate music radio for the fun of it. Also I have totally imagined her having something of a crush on this Lois which did lead to a drawing I wish I did on here. Maybe in the future!

Got the next 2 Atomic DC designs up now, with some of Superman's first foes who turn more neutral allies, Volcana and Livewire!
