DC queer characters possibility: Peter Milligan's The Enigma

I appear to have drawn the wrong Enigma - I didn't realize until just now that you said "Peter Milligan's". I thought that Enigma was a creator-owned Vertigo series unaffiliated with the DC universe?

Anyways, while I get to the bottom of that enigma (pun intended), enjoy the wrong Enigma:

DC characters - Enigma

lmao Duela just wants to have fun ok!!! Teen Titans vol 3 #45

[artisgonnabeok]

Enigma Nigma.

As always, more details/other versions underneath the cut:

Details:

Eyes: heterocromia specifically a reference to in the early days of his creation Riddlers eye color was blue and then it changed to green. Of course I made her iris's question marks but also the third eye highlight is also a question mark.

Skin:in the other version of the drawing she actually has a scar that you would get from a blunt object, this is a reference to her death in her second major appearance, also based her skin color off of Riddlers skin in the Arkham Games (her skin is typically more red or yellowish)

Also dramatic makeup as a nod to her mask, lip color is from her Tiny Titans appearance.

Hair: the top is from her Arkham Academy as well as her second major comic book appearance, the haircut itself is also from her Arkham Academy appearance but I decided to change it up a bit, her sides are based on how Riddlers hair is sometimes brown almost black also she has a question mark cowlick.

Body type: based it off of the fact that this chick has legs for days but also wanted to give her the brod shoulders she had in Arkham Academy.

Jewelry: the earrings are a nod to her original outfit while the bracelets are a reference to two Arkham Academy characters El'Sombero Jr aka Death Trap (the top bracelet is based off of him) and Lil'Kitten (the bottom bracelet) I used their main colors for the colors of the bracelet.

Phone: The color is a nod to the color of her question mark cane also the skull is a reference to a Arkham Academy character (The Noise specifically her shirt decal)

Boots: The heel part has her question marks (her question mark staff is jagged)

The laces are purple because of her design, but also, lace code (I know, Lace code is dead) would mean that she is queer (more of my own head cannon)

Gave her boots to make her legs look even longer

The socks also have question marks on them and is a reference to the riddler socks you can buy.

Fishnets: that is a reference to Echo and Query who are often shown wearing fishnets.

Jacket: a reference to Riddlers jacket/unbuttoned shirt in the Arkham games...it also has question marks. That's also why it's baggy as well and to show off brod shoulders.

Shirt: has tiny questions marks and is a reference to her Titans appearance/debut. It has a sweater like design which is a reference to her father.

Choker: a reference to her costume that goes to her neck/close to her neck.

Belt: Reference to her dad's which is why it also has a gold question mark on it,

Shorts:based off of her costume that has stripes while the color is based off of her shoe color from Tiny Titans/Titans.

All around, I wanted to give reference to her designs/attitudes as well as a reference to Riddler while still making it her own.

Her without glasses:

Colors and references I used for Enigma:

Her other version:

TW: Blunt scar, it's not too bad:

'Uncle Eddie'

The winning oneshot! Rated T for canon typical violence, referenced drug use and referenced child abuse.

Stephanie Brown is eight years old when she first meets Edward Nigma.

Her father doesn't lock in the closet anymore whenever he has his 'friends' over. She's gotten too big for that. Now, he tells her to stay in her room. There's no lock on her door though, so she can look down into the living room from the top of the stairs.

Three people are at the small dining room table across from her father tonight. Two of them are women, one tall and blonde, the other short with dark hair. They're standing behind a man, sitting at a chair directly across from Stephanie's father. He has reddish brown hair and is wearing a green leotard. Stephanie can just make out the purple question mark on his chest. She thinks she hears her father call him 'Eddie'. Her mother is, once again, nowhere in sight. She's probably asleep.

Stephanie can hear her stomach growl. She hasn't eaten since before school, but her father will yell at her if he sees her coming down the stairs. She'll have to wait until later, to get a snack from the fridge, if anyone went to the grocery store. As quietly as she can, Stephanie scoots away from the railing and turns to head to her room.

She wasn't quiet enough. The blonde woman turns sharply and catches sight of her. Her eyes widen and she swats the green man on the shoulder. "Boss!"

All four heads turn at once, and Stephanie is frozen to her spot. Her father's face turns red and she knows she's in for it. The green man, Eddie, merely raises an eyebrow. "Arthur," he says. "You didn't tell me we had company."

"It's just my kid," her father says, rubbing the back of his head. He gives Stephanie a strained smile. "Go to your room, Steffie. Daddy and Uncle Eddie have grown-up stuff to do."

Stephanie nods. The man called Eddie looks at her a moment longer. He has green eyes. Cold eyes. Stephanie can't get back to her room fast enough.

When Stephanie is twelve, her father comes back from jail with an unwanted guest. "Hey Steffie," he says. "You remember Uncle Eddie, don't you? He's going to be staying with us for a few days."

Stephanie knows full well who he is now. Edward Nigma. The Riddler. He and her father are working on some big score. She knows what her father is now too. Cluemaster. A wannabe crook trying to ride Nigma's coattails. Nigma walks into her living room like he owns it, giving her mother, drowsy on the sofa, a disdainful look. He turns to look at Stephanie, and a shadow passes over his face. It's soon replaced by a smirk. "Tiffany, isn't it?" he asks.

"Stephanie," she answers, fists clenching. He shrugs and continues on his way.

"I hope you're not expecting me to crash on your sofa, Arthur," he says.

"Of course not," her father says. "You can stay in Stephanie's room."

Stephanie whirls around. "What? Where am I gonna sleep?"

"You can take the couch for a few days. It's just until Uncle Eddie gets his gang back together." Her father is right in front of her, his nails digging into her shoulder. He's smiling, but she sees the warning in his eyes. "Suck it up, Kiddo."

"Arthur," her mother calls out. "Don't make her sleep out here-"

"Oh, look who's finally awake," her father sneers, letting go of Stephanie's shoulder and storming to the couch. "You finally sleep off that hangover of yours?"

Stephanie looks away from her parents and over to Nigma. He looks bored, maybe a little irritated but he says and does nothing. She hears her mother let out a sharp cry and sees that her father has grabbed her by the elbow and pulled her off the couch. He looks like he's going to slap her.

"Stop!" she cried out. Both of her parents look at her. "It's ok Mom," she says. "I can sleep on the couch."

Her father lets go of her mother. "See, Crystal? It's fine." He stomps over to the dining room table. "Come here, Eddie, I got some plans I wanted to run by you."

Before Stephanie goes to her mother, she looks at Nigma. Surely, he won't want to work with her father after this? Surely, he'll leave. Maybe, just maybe, he'll-

Nigma's gone to the dining room table without a second glance at Stephanie or her mother. He saw everything, and he said and did nothing. Stephanie doesn't hate Nigma like she's coming to hate her father, but she decides then and there that she hates him all the same.

When Stephanie is fifteen, she finally gets to act on that hatred. She's been following her father around on his latest scheme, following him all the way to an old toy factory Except, it's Nigma's scheme. He's just letting her father take the fall for it. She's left enough clues for Robin and Batman to follow and they're here, going through Nigma's mooks like a knife through butter. Her sperm donor is on the ground with a broken jaw and she smiles from the rafter she's hidden herself on.

She catches sight of a figure in a green suit, running towards a back exit. Nigma. While she can appreciate him leaving her Daddy Dearest to the wolves, she's still not going to let him get away. Her hand goes to her makeshift belt and she grabs a Batarang, one she grabbed from the last scheme she spoiled before Batdick chased her off. She takes aim and throws it.

She has to stifle a cheer as the Batarang connects, hitting Nigma in the back of the head and causing him to stumble forward and fall with a grunt. Aww, did you get your suit dirty? Asshole. He rolls over and looks up, his eyes meeting hers. She doesn't think he recognizes her through the full-face spoiler mask, so she contents herself by flipping him the bird. Eat shit, 'Uncle Eddie'. Batman is approaching him now and Stephanie climbs up the rafters, out the open skylight where she came in. She doesn't need to hear Batdick giving her the riot act. Again.

Stephanie Brown is twenty now and so much has changed. She's Batgirl now, finally wearing the symbol after so long looking in from the outside, even if she still can't say that Bruce is her favorite person. She's in Nigma's apartment, watching as a former enemy hugs a girl close to him, kissing her on the forehead and looking at her like she's the most important thing in his world.

Ellie is like a funhouse mirror. At first glance, she can't help but see the similarities. They're both young scrappers from the lower end of the economic spectrum. They both have attitudes to spare. They both have a love for art and creating it, though Ellie's drawings trump Stephanie's any day of the week. And of course, they both have puzzle-themed criminal fathers.

That's where the reflection becomes warped.

Ellie grew up in safety, not knowing who or what her father was. She didn't have a father, but that was better than having the Riddler as a father. Stephanie's under no illusions what kind of father the man she knew as a child would have been. And yet...she sees the man she knew as 'Uncle Eddie', the man with cold green eyes, the man who did nothing as Arthur Brown abused his family, the man who's left so much damage in his wake, hug a girl who took a chance and decided to love him anyway.

Where was this man ten years ago?

She should be happy for Ellie, and she is. Every girl deserves a father's love. She worries though. There's so much baggage that comes with being the Riddler's daughter, even if Ellie isn't aware of it yet. So much potential danger, even without Strange and Sharp, and Bolton to worry about.

And sometimes, love isn't enough.

Stephanie looks at the man she once knew as 'Uncle Eddie' and hopes to God that in this case, love will be enough.

Sunday Six

Martin takes a step forward, pad in hand:

YOU NEED TO LEAVE. NOW.

“I don’t know why he’s here in the first place,” Etheline replies aloud. “Why ARE you here, Uncle Jim? What good are you? I’m not the kid you should be worried about, anyway -- Babsy can’t walk away from a fight even when it’s not hers and JJ's a little psycho. Ask your wife what happened to the rabbit we gave him for Easter, I dare you. She can’t keep track of a five-year-old budding serial killer and you can’t control your own bottom-rung uniform officers. But I have to apologize? Where’s MY apology, Uncle Jim?!"

happy friday, i broke my promise to never make an RSS feed

first things first: here is EPISODE 2 of jim gordon must die, "RIDDLER'S DAUGHTER".

secondly, we now have a neocities website containing links to all the existing episodes.

thirdly, we now have an RSS feed, so our podcast can be consumed through your podcast player of choice instead of google drive links! follow the steps for adding a custom or private feed (like you would for, e.g., a patreon feed), and add this url:

https://jimgordonmustdie.neocities.org/rssfeed.xml

no guarantees that this feed will be successfully maintained, but you know, i said I was never gonna make one, so you probably shouldn't trust me at this point

[daddys-little-conundrum]

@kingofpuzzles is he ur dad or what

❔:: WAIT WHAT?! No.. He looks similar with dad, but isn't him! Dad is a redhead and he has different suit. Okay, you can change the suit, but he does not have freckles as me and MY dad! It's.. I dunno who it is. Parallel universe Riddler?

[rocker-socks]

not to be insane but Stephanie Brown is so underrated and i really do hate to say its misogyny but. well. It is.

[dreemurr-fever]

I keep seeing Enigma popping up on my feed so I wanted to show off my version of her!

Jennifer Nygma aka The Enigma. One of my special silly characters. Originally she wasn't supposed to be Enigma, just a silly OC who was adopted by the Riddler. Eventually she grew more on me and the thought of her growing up and becoming Enigma came up and I decided to run with it. She means so much to me and I'd love to share her with you guys so feel free to ask me anything about her.

I'll probably post some art I have of her.

Have an Ed with Elizabeth/Enigma

I think all of the riddler characters are neat

[drrandombear]

♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ THE BITCH IS BACK ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡  (A moment of appreciation for the drip of Riddler's goons- they look awesome)

GORDON!!!! HES HERE!!! Love that they're bringing in characters that they were blocked from using before. Also a pretty smooth introduction all things considered.

Riddler being Batman's "Guardian Angel" very nice. I do really like it when Riddler seems to have full control / partial control over the city. Guy in the chair Riddler is where hes at his best. (Also him calling Batman and Yin "Detectives" love that he still remembers her being a huge thorn in his side even if he most likely cant remember her name the narcissistic bitch♡)

This is horrifying. I love all the good shots we get of people being Joker gassed but this one really stood out to me of this goon collapsing Infront of the "camera". (also another moment of appreciation for the kickass Riddler goon look- why doesn't the man himself look more like these guys)

Yin being the one to fuck up the Riddlers plans yet again. Yes queen get his ass.

Gordon looks so cool. Its the coat but like still. Also love how this episode lights him.
