Edward Nygma

Early Life
Edward Nygma lived a normal life until he learns that he is the smartest student in elementary school. Nygma began learning more and faster. Due to being intelligent, he ended up graduating from Harvard university at the age of seventeen. Due to feeling that none of the academic lifestyles would fit him, he moved back to Gotham city and became a police analyst for the GCPD, becoming an useful ally to the cops at the police force.

Becoming the Riddler
Nygma ended up falling in love with fellow analyst Kristen Kringle. Kringle was in an abusive relationship with another cop as Nygma, wanting to give her justice, murdered her boyfriend. Wanting to hide the crime, he wrote a fake Suicide note but hidden clues inside it showing him as the killer. The Batman, who was just starting out, discovered the truth and confronted Nygma, throwing him into prison, giving birth to his unhealthy obsession with outsmarting the Batman.
