What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- Orchestrated the massacre of the powerful Bertinelli crime family so he can obtain the Bertinelli Diamond.
- Created a criminal empire by recruiting petty criminals and unifying criminal organizations in order to control Gotham City, and by killing off the rest who refuse to join him.
- Developed a deep hatred for Harley Quinn for many understandable reasons and had desired to kill her everyday, but couldn't because he feared her lover, Joker. Once he found out they broke up, he ordered his men to round her up and be brought to him so he could torture her to death because as he put it "he can."
- Had victims’ faces cut off, including a crime family with a young daughter whom he was about to spare until he saw a snot bubble on her face from crying so hard.
- Abused his staff for petty reasons, like hitting his botox specialist for giving him his shots, firing his driver after his legs were broken, and sometimes orders criminals him owns to be killed.
- Makes a deal with Harley Quinn for her to obtain the diamond in exchange for her life, which he had no intention to keep when he sent mercenaries to kill Harley and get the diamond.
- Puts a $500,000 bounty out on a young Cassandra Cain in order to kill her and reclaim the diamond after she stole it.
- Ordered a patron named Erika to stand on top of a table where he forced her to dance and strip, just because he thought she was laughing at him and was delighted in her humiliation.
- Treated his employee Dinah Lance like a slave and an attraction and even subtly threatened her to never betray him, until she did.
- Assembled an small army of masked criminals to kill Harley Quinn and Birds of Prey and to bring him Cassandra, so he could gut the diamond out of her.
- Shoots Renee Montoya, kidnaps Cassandra Cain and orders his mercenaries to kill the rest after they exit The Booby Trap.
- Attempts to slice Cassandra's throat in front of Harley Quinn, before he gets killed by a grenade Cassandra plants on him.
- Treats Victor Zsasz like a tool rather than a friend.
- Blames his family for not giving him the privilege and wealth he deserves, even though it's his own fault he doesn't have it. Like how he was kicked out of his family's company Janus because he had poor business skills and excessive spending habits, lile doesn't make this a tragedy.
Trivia[]
