HistoryEdit

When he was younger, Arnold Wesker did the voices of all the characters on the children's television show Cockamamie Junction. When that show was eventually cancelled, Wesker attempted to go on a solo career with four puppets of his own. One of these puppets, dressed as an old gangster with a scar across his right eye, known as Scarface, started to gain control fo Wesker's mind. Wesker, giving up on his solo career, was persuaded by Scarface to go on a crime spree. Wesker ditched the other three puppets and Scarface became an evil seperate identity of Wesker's.

The puppet used Wesker to develop a plan that would make them rich. Wesker only went along with Scarface's plans because he thought that he would retire soon after.

When it came time to begin their crime spree in Gotham, the Ventriloquist hired two thugs, Mugsy and Rhino, to help them with the heavy lifting. They immediately began collecting materials for a large Scarface machine.

Scarface was injured in one battle with the Batman, and Wesker was ordered by the puppet to finish their plans. The Ventriloquist did as he was commanded and finished the giant, bank robbing robot.

In their last fight with the Dark Knight, Scarface and the Ventriloquist lose. The Scarface robot is left on the train tracks and is hit by a speeding train. With no one to lead him, Wesker surrenders to the vigilante and is taken to Arkham Asylum. ^[1]

Somehow escaping Arkham, Wesker and Scarface are captured one more time by the Batman. This time, Wesker attempts to rehabilitate and is seperated from Scarface. Once released again, Wesker escapes Scarface and goes on his solo career again with a new puppet: Mr. Snoots. However, Scarface manages to return into Wesker's life and he descends back to villainy. During an epic battle between Snoots and Scarface, both of the puppets are killed, but Wesker is saved by the Batman.
