Oswald Cobblepot. Not exactly a name designed to shake the pillars of Gotham’s dark criminal underworld. Maybe it’s his other name that strikes fear into the hearts of citizens both good and bad: The Penguin.

Penguin (DC) - Seriewikin
seriewikin.serieframjandet.se →Penguin eller Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot är en kort, något korpulent, man, oftast klädd i dyrbara men ålderdomliga kläder, kläder som i viss mån får honom att likna en pingvin. Han bär hög hatt, monokel och paraply. Just paraplyerna är särskilt viktiga, då Penguin är känd för att använda ombyggda paraplyer som vapen och över huvud taget som redskap i sin brottsliga verksamhet. Paraplyerna kan ses som ett exempel på de fixeringar Batmans fiender ofta lider av. Penguin har dessutom en dragning till fåglar, och det är inte ovanligt att hans planer innefattar stölder av sådant som antika fågelstatyetter och juvelbesatta ägg.

Encyclopedic overview
The Penguin (Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot) is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, primarily as an adversary of the superhero Batman. The character made his first appearance in Detective Comics #58 (December 1941) and was created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger. The Penguin is one of Batman's most enduring enemies, belonging to the collective of adversaries that make up Batman's rogues gallery. The Penguin has repeatedly been named one of the best Batman villains and one of the greatest villains in comics. The Penguin was ranked #51 in IGN's list of the Top 100 Comic Book Villains of All Time.
The Penguin is a Gotham City mobster who fancies himself the "Gentleman of Crime". He is most often seen as a short, fat man with a long nose who wears a monocle, top hat, and morning suit while carrying his signature umbrella, which may conceal a gun, gas sprayer, knife, mini-helicopter or other unconventional tools. The Penguin owns and runs a nightclub called the Iceberg Lounge which provides a cover for his criminal activity.
