The Stranger


 * Were you looking for Stranger?

The Stranger, otherwise known by his real name Joseph Newman, (hatched January 21st, 1953) is a strange criminal who use to be involved in gangs and heist, and now is a member of the Deadly Alliance, who is permanently covered in all black as a result of a botched heist, who, due to it, now looks like he is a shadow, who can have oily-like powers attached to him. He is known for his haunting, soothing voice, to which he sometimes growls. Much like his colleague Steven D, little known information is known about him, although he has more details.

Clever trickster and bully, 1950's-1970's
Joseph wasn't always a villain from the start when he hatched. He use to be a good kid, getting good grades and usually enrolled in martial art classes, specifically of the style known as Hung Gar. It was around age sixteen when he started to get corrupt. It all started on a Halloween night, and he decided to scare to little chicks to get them to drop their candy and then consume them. He was starting to become a bully at this time. He would start to involve himself with fist fights with "nerds," and would often bore himself with complements about himself, essentially, a narcissist. He would be the local jock in his high school team, often yelling emalfs at those to which he lost. He was also known as "Trickster Joe," at his high school, due to his manipulative and blackmailing nature, along with being a so-called magician. Later in life after school, he dabbled into a life of crime.

A silent life of crime, 1980's-1990's
At age twenty-three, he would apply to a job in which he was to be a hit man, which would make him get a good load of money. With his Hung Gar in mind, he would be a skilled fighter, if physical contact would happen. He would be involved in near-death heists, stealing secret information, prized items and of course, money or fish. Around 1993, he would be part of a heist near a testing site in the industrial side of the town they were robbing, which resulted in the now shadowy look of Joseph.

From the shadows he emerges, 1993
The objective was to rob another bank, with him being in a mafia like suit, and demanding money, but the officers on break time busted them, causing them to make a run for it, but all were caught, except for Joseph.

Running for his life, he found the testing sight, and forcefully made his way inside, down the stairs and found a room. He would unfortunately trip on some equipment, and tripped into a testing chamber, with a piece of tarp that was caught with his suit on his back. He fell into the testing chamber's pit, and in a form of surprise, stupidity and not knowing what was going on, attempted to climb the pit. Unfortunately, several scientists were testing a new chemical; a black oily-like substance. With the scientists in a room in the chamber, they released the oily substance. The frightened Joseph saw the oil, and attempted to climb, but failed, and the now slow to fast moving substance was turning and raging with a large mechanical hand swishing the substance. Joseph must been in a quick for the Underworld, as his body started to have the substance stuck on him, no longer a red penguin but a jet-black penguin, as his suit and tarp literally stuck to him now.

After that, a small explosion caused by the swishing of the substance, it left a small hole through the wall of the chamber, literally sending Joseph straight through the wall. He was launched so far that he practically disappeared from the scene. He now was a complete dark penguin, with his black hat, now red eyes, tarp-like cape, grey beak and feet, he had practically become a man-in-black. After waking up in a small valley nearby in a forested area, he woke up, but "melted" into a form of oil, with his body literally creating small waves and trying to form himself. He formed back to his penguin self, and tried to rest upon a tree, but fell through it, almost as if he was noclipping. He can go through physical objects, albeit leaving a black mark on them. He continued to look for groups to hire.

Luckily, the Deadly Alliance picked him up.
