Bios - Jack Ryder / The Creeper
Voiced By: Jeff Glen Bennett
First Appearance:
"Cold Comfort"
"Beware the Creeper" (as The Creeper)
Position: Yellow-Skinned-Wacky-Man, Reporter |
Bio: Once he was simply Jack Ryder, the no-nonsense co-anchor of
Summer Gleeson's "Gotham Insider." But the staid newsman's life was
changed forever after an encounter with the Joker and his lethal
laughing toxin. When Jack did an expose on the history of the "Clown
Prince of Crime", The Joker showed up and threw Ryder into the same vat
of chemicals that transformed him. The vat of chemicals, mixed with the
Joker's laughing gas, mutated him into a bizarre super-human creature,
the living embodiment of the wild personality he had kept buried inside
him for so long. Dubbed The Creeper by a terrified onlooker, the insane
creature went on a wacky rampage which resulted in him actually helping
Batman to capture the Joker.
Though the wild imbalance of chemicals had caused a permanent change in
Ryder's body, Batman devised a specially treated skin patch that, when
worn, keeps the Creeper subdued. But when there's extreme danger, Ryder
can remove the patch and let the zany, always unpredictable Creeper out
to join the fight. |
