The Jester: Prt1

This one is a villain, as the devious smirk is hopefully an indication of. The Jester was the first super hero name I ever came up with back in middle (or really late elementary) school after getting a book on how to draw super heroes. It was mostly inspired by a hat I had gotten at a renaissance fair. The original Jester wore tights instead of a suite and looked more realistic (I think he may have been very close in muscles and face to the Mr Fantastic I was emulating), but had the same 3 prong hat and mask.

Umm...I smell a DC comics lawsuit.

Over Riddler?

There are in fact Jester characters in both the DC and Marvel universes.

I think mine looks much slicker. Perhaps I'll work on a variation on the name.
