LADY LOTUS

For about 300 years, the Murakami Family was a part of Japanese royalty, with many of their descendants being raised to be kings, lords, and queens. Himiko was raised to be one of these nobles, and was given everything she ever asked for on a silver platter. When she turned 15, her narcissistic, abusive and self-righteous father decided he wanted to humble his family by living amongst the commoners, much to the dismay of everyone else. Given that Japan had been ruled by the rich 1% from the comfort of the flying city of New Tokyo and the poor had been left to decay in squalid conditions, the commoners saw an opportunity to release their rage on one of the former nobles. The family was constantly harassed by everyone, when all they wanted was to live a peaceful life. Eventually, Himiko’s mother succumbed to illness and died within a month, and she would’ve survived if they’d been living in their palace with the finest doctors. Then one fateful day, the commoners laid siege to their home, strung Himiko, her father, and her sister to the wall, and burned down their house. On that day, something inside of Himiko snapped, and she swore that no matter what, she’d get back at everyone, and burn down everything and everyone they love. She then killed her father, changed her identity, and joined a powerful Yakuza mob, gradually working her way up the ranks until she was the right hand assistant of the leader. She then poisoned and killed him by sprinkling a poisonous lotus flower in his food. Overtaking the crime family, she turned their headquarters into an underground network of assassins called "The Lotus Network", taking the name Lady Lotus. In a year, she was able to take over the entire criminal underworld of Japan, making herself one of the most powerful people in the country. Having established true order in her country, Himiko became a better leader than most of the politicians running Japan, so much so that she became a member of Japanese high society, though she had no desire to join New Tokyo's society, seeing it for the shallow garden of narcissism and apathy it truly is. She ran Japan better than anyone else, as she actually gave a shit about the people living under her. When she took control, she made the economy stable, provided free health care, and made sure everyone in Japan was happy and content. Unfortunately, she made things better through a lot of shed blood. Deciding that Earth would be a better place with her as its benevolent queen, Lady Lotus set her sights on the entire world. No matter the cost, she'll make the world a better place.

This is yet another song I found that I think fits Edward Nygma (The Riddler) perfectly. Give it a listen!

VIPER

Sadako Hashimoto was the daughter of one of Lady Lotus' assassins who died on the job. After getting caught by the FBI while trying to assassinate a Chinese ambassador, the man committed suicide via cyanide tooth. Learning of his death, Lotus decided to compensate the family for their loss. She essentially became a surrogate mother to Sadako, teaching her how to defend herself. Wanting to be an assassin just like her father, Lotus trained her in the art of assassination, specifically martial arts, and stealth. Before long, she was a skilled assassin, operating under the code-name "Viper", due to her skill with poisons. Over time, Sadako rose her way through the ranks of Lotus' assassins, rivaling only Scream Queen and Shinigami. After Shinigami killed herself, Lotus decided to promote Sadako to her right-hand assistant. But first, she would need some upgrades. Willingly taking Hobgoblin's mutagen serum, Sadako was transformed into a Cobra/Human hybrid, growing a set of snake fangs and having all of her bones mutated into flexible cartilage, allowing her to sneak her way through tight spaces. Sadako now works as Lady Lotus' top assassin. She kills whoever Lotus tells her to and she only has a 10% margin of failure in her career. Despite her profession, Sadako is not a heartless psychopath like Shinigami, as she doesn't enjoy the act of murder and follows Lotus' rules to the letter. 1) Only kill your target. 2) Don't kill anyone else. 3) Killing any children is punished fatally. On top of that, she's also a family woman. Whenever she isn't on a mission, she spends her free time either training the other henchmen or simply providing for her family, in particular her grandmother and brother.
