    Jack Napier (AKA Joker)?

    Ok Kids - I need some help with this one.

    First off - I'm not even certain the Jokers alter Ego is really Jack Napier that was just what they called him in BTAS
    Some even say the red hood could be his alter ego

    If anyone knows his comic book Alter ego name - please let me know. To my knowledge in the comics they never said what his real name is/was - just that his wife was killed and he went insane.

    Normally - I pretty much know what I want to do with a custom figure.
    I'm making this bad boy into a joker alter ego.

    I was planning on doing him in a purple suit, or a gangster suit (maybe the ctv pin stripe suit)
    Was wondering what you guys think would be a good look for him?

    Please feel free to post any ideas. I look forward to seeing what people think, and their take on him.
    The head itself is from Austin - it is painted by Dave Mc.

    It looks great in person - for some reason it comes out looking like it is wet in the pictures, but it does not look that way in person.
    It looks really cool. I have had this one in the works for a long time. Dave has been super busy so I just got the head back from him last week. Now it is time to finish him off.

      Thanks Lee - You know I love me some Alter Egos!

      also I'm from Staten Island not Jersey

      I got so backed up from being on Vacation the week before - the boss would not let me take Friday off.
      I did not want to rain on anyone's parade by calling and saying I could not go :(

      Still very upset I could not go - I can only imagine what mego fun I missed out on!

      I do need your help with his suit was going to call u later this week. You are the RIT master - so far I only tried it on doc cloths and it failed big time. I know last we spoke you said it works on CTV stuff - i'll hit you up for some info later in the week.

          Last we spoke you were also unsure about getting off. Glad you made it there. I bet you snagged a ton of cool stuff - I wish I was there :(
          next year for sure. Already told the wife no Disney World if it means me missing the meet again! Though it was not her fault this year - she was making the drive with me. Next year I will just quit if they don't give me off!

            Joker has no real name.

            His 'alter ego' would be the Red Hood.

              I tried to make sure everyone with custom parts got a piece of the pie. David Lee ate a lot of it. LOL. I will post my musing after I decompress. I even made 2 figures at the meet.

                His real name in the comics he never been given. "Jack Napier" originally came from the '89 movie.

                And even in the comics his origin as depicted in "The Killing Joke" has been proposed to be one version of it. The Joker himself has said that he remembers his origin differently from time to time.

                      Thank you for confirming - I would love to see what box you will make for him

                      I will have new order for you tomorrow for this and 2 norman Osborn boxes
                      maybe a double card for the both of them as well

                        The only detail about his origin that remains consistent is that he was the Red Hood and fell into a vat of chemicals.

                          In one issue (I can't remember which one) his cousin called me "Ja" to which the Joker stops him. That is the closet he has ever been named to his origin name.
