Oswald Cobblepot (UE-11)

"There seems to be some confusion. My name is Oswald Cobblepot. Many of you, no doubt, will have heard of me. Some of you, clearly, have not. For those poor, ignorant souls, I offer illumination. I am not a man to be trifled with. No. I am powerful. I am vicious. I'm King of Gotham."

- Oswald Cobblepot

Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot, born Oswald Chesterfield Kapelput, better known as the Penguin, is a low-level criminal criminal in Gotham City's underworld and later a kingpin of the city, taking over his former superior's positions through his manipulative strategies.

Abilities

 * Genius-level Intellect: Cobblepot is extremely intelligent, using his intellect to manipulate his superiors, such as Fish Mooney, Carmine Falcone and Sal Maroni. He was also able to orchestrate a mob war between the Falcones and Maronis, hoping the head of both crime family would be killed and allow him to rise, replacing both as the new kingpin.
 * High Pain Tolerance: Despite being stabbed in the hand with a pin by Mooney, Cobblepot did not react to the injury.
 * Connection: As an experienced criminal, Cobblepot has connections to many sources both in the criminal world and the police department, most notably Jim Gordon, who spared his life when he was ordered to execute Cobblepot.
 * Piano: Cobblepot is capable of playing a piano.
 * Hand-to-Hand Combatant: While not a master in close combat, Cobblepot was able to defend himself in a fight with Mooney and Jerome Valeska respectively.
 * Marksmanship: Cobblepot is proficient in handling firearms.

Weaknesses

 * Damaged Eyesight: Cobblepot's right eye was hit with a shrapnel from an exploding grenade when he protected Edward Nygma during the defense of Gotham City on Day 391 of the Cataclysm. He suffered from anisocoria and heterochromia iridum, which altered the color of his eye to bright blue instead of the original green, as well as causing permanent damage to his eyesight. Cobblepot is now required to wear a monocle on his right eye to have a clear visual of his surroundings.

Current Equipment

 * Umbrellas: During his time as Mooney's umbrella boy, he held her umbrella behind her for an extended period of time. Despite betraying her, Cobblepot continued to use umbrellas as his signature identification, using it as the emblem of his nightclub as well as his walking aid.
 * Walking Cane: To aid walking with a broken leg, Cobblepot utilizes a walking cane with a penguin head, which hides a sharp blade within the cane itself.
 * Top Hat: After being released from prison, Cobblepot began wearing a top hat.
 * Cigarette Holder: The cigarette holder, like the top hat, was acquired by Cobblepot after being released to prison.
