His unique physiology makes him immune to most toxins, bacteria, and viruses. Likewise, his evil schemes usually revolve around ice, cold, and snow theme.
Court of Owls
The Court of Owls is a crime group and a secret society of wealthy Gothamites. It is one of the oldest and most powerful groups or societies in Gotham.
