History: Jack Ryder, The Creeper, is an outspoken television newscaster and reporter for a Gotham City TV station. As Ryder, he is the anchorman of a show in which he deliberately antagonizes his guests in order to raise attention on hot topics, like stem cell research and medical nanotech. During his research on the revolutionary "nanocells" therapy of Doctor Vincent Yatz, he discovered an experimental mixture which enabled the body to regenerate to the point of completely replacing the skin of a badly scarred burn victim, not to mention the ability to heal practically any injury of any kind. Ryder was caught by mobsters when he attempted to steal Yatz's newly discovered technology. Unable to escape, Dr. Yatz injected his last sample of (still unstable) nanocells into Jack Ryder, as an attempt to keep it safe from the mobsters.
Immediately afterwards, the mobsters shot Ryder in the head, seemingly killing him. However, the regenerative substance of the nanocells interacted with his body chemistry, thus resurrecting him as the Creeper. Ryder dispatched his opponents, and soon discovered that he was able to call forth his bestial alter-ego at will. When the Creeper began fighting crime in Gotham City, his archnemesis was the supervillain Proteus, who met a violent demise during these encounters. Eventually, the Creeper would encounter Batman for his first superhero team-up. He met the rest of the Justice League of America when Batman asked them to help determine whether or not he was an outlaw. During the recruitment drive, the Creeper was deemed more suitable for Justice League reserve status, rather than as a regular team member, despite Batman's recommendation.
He is however part of a new team of anti heroes called the Crazy Eights. He got there after he took his new friend, Rorschach, to a meeting place he got wind of.
Equipment: None
Powers:
Creeper Form: The Creeper's powers are physical in nature, as a result of Yatz's invention. Jack Ryder can transform into the Creeper virtually instantaneously, and vice versa.
Accelerated Healing: Which enables him to heal from virtually any wound. Indeed, gunshots and stab wounds have healed in a matter of minutes. It even allowed him to return from death when his body regenerated after being torn apart by Eclipsed hyenas.
Enhanced Reflexes: His reflexes are sharp enough to let him catch a batarang thrown by Batman behind his back.
Hypnotic Intimidation: Apparent intimidation/hypnosis ability as one of the thugs was apparently mesmerized after an encounter with the Creeper.
Pain Inducing Laugh: His laugh is depicted as being physically painful to the ears of his victims.
Superhuman Agility: This enables him to perform amazing feats of acrobatics and leaping, as he can jump high enough to scale any building. He also seems able to climb walls with little or no difficulty.
Enhanced Speed: He has been seen running along cars going 90 mph to get away from him.
Superhuman Stamina: Creeper can fight for up to 6 hours of constant activity before tiring.
Superhuman Strength: His strength is enough to send grown men flying with only one punch.
Skills: Hand-to-Hand Combat (Advanced): His physical talents combined make Creeper a formidable fighter, incorporating brawling techniques with his physical prowess. A signature move is jumping onto the backs of his opponents and throwing them off balance.
Jack is also a skilled journalist and public speaker.
Weaknesses: His laugh affects all who hear it, hurting friend and foe alike. Due to his mental state as the Creeper he is both unpredictable and sometimes very hard to rely on in a fight. He also has a fixation on Harley Quinn, having fallen for her as the Creeper.
Trivia:
- He really likes Freakazoid and Slapstick's style.
- Not a fan of Deadpool. (He is willing to be friends with Harley, but he is just another undeserving weirdo. Deadpool: We are so not a thing. Too...damaged. Still doesn't like him)
- Creeper still asks Batman for a Creepermobile.
