Initial Crime: Murder, Arson and theft.
State of Mind: Unhinged at the very least.
Personality: Peter is someone who is intent on labeling himself as a freak. He is a selfish man who finds joy in killing and stealing. He is however able to work in a team, though prefers to work alone. He has deep family issues, resenting both his father, as well as his brother after the latter reported his location to the Batman.
Abilities: Through a series of surgeries, Ragdoll had his biological joints replaced with artificial ones. These joints allow him to bend, compress, and contort in ways even master contortionists cannot. Ragdoll requires a special emollient to keep his artificial joints from tearing through his skin. He often wields a knife and is an adequate hand-to-hand fighter.
Bio: Born as a "normal child" to the original Ragdoll, his father loathed him as he did not have the ability to follow the family history of contortionists. Wanting to make his father proud, he underwent surgery to implant lubricated cybernetic joints that let him emulate his father's physique. The surgery left him badly disfigured and requiring regular doses of an emollient to lubricate his skin. During the surgery he also removed his testicles, stating to those who asked that they were unneeded. Due to this, his bind began to detiriorate as he went to a life of crime. He used his new found skills as a contortionist to rob vaults and museums of relics and money, creating a small name for himself. After a while however, he officially branded himself as insane. He joined the Secret Six, and worked with them for years. Their last heist however, went extremely bad. He ended up fleeing the scene of the crime after the warehouse they had been robbing went up in flames. He stayed at his brother Michael's house for the next few weeks, learning of his teammate's deaths or arrests.
After his brother learnt of his identity of Ragdoll, he immediately reported him to the police, and they then reported it to Batman. The lunatic was taken down instantly and Ragdoll found himself locked up in Arkham.
