Chapter 852 - Chapter 807: Humiliation

During the flight, Batman recalled all the information in his mind, leaving only a small portion of his attention to the outside world to maintain his actions.

The Humiliation Squad consists of four people, three women and one man. The man, due to entering Arkham too early, has a slight gender identity disorder.

They are the Fallen Knight, Bone Breaker, Katastrophe, and Brick Michael, each with a tragic background.

The Fallen Knight's real name is Charise Carnes, the eldest daughter of an old Gotham family, the Kanes Clan. Her father is William, her mother is Virginia, and she has a younger brother named Emil.

Her family is engaged in the real estate business, very wealthy. Especially her father, who purchased land in the Gotham Coast District to build a garbage processing plant, earning a huge fortune, and now almost all of Gotham City's Old Harbor District belongs to her family.

In her youth, Charise admired her father very much. Her father was the most important person in her life until one day, in her teens, she met a good young man from Gotham City.

The good young man captured Charise's heart and returned with her to the Carnes Mansion. However, he was actually a fraud, a lunatic, a serial killer. He quickly revealed his true colors and took the Carnes family hostage.

Eventually, he tortured and killed all of Charise's family right in front of her, skinning and dismembering William, Virginia, and Emil into thumb-sized pieces before laughing maniacally and leaving.

Since Charise was too traumatized to speak and defend herself, and with the weapon in her hand, the police regarded her as the criminal and locked her up in Arkham Asylum.

In the madhouse, as Charise gradually regained clarity, she believed the tragedy of her family was due to Gotham City's insufficient efforts to crack down on crime. Under the treatment of the kind-hearted psychologist Dr. Harleen Quinzel, she found her path.

She wanted to change things and began studying the "art of madness" in the madhouse.

With a good education, both smart and talented, Charise truly learned what she wanted within two short years. In Arkham, she met a real lunatic, Little James Gordon, the mad son of Director Gordon, Barbara's younger brother.

Although Gordon was unwilling to acknowledge this blood relationship, genetically speaking, Little James was indeed his son, Gotham's most famous serial killer, far surpassing the "Holiday Killer" and others.

He was skilled in dagger combat and stealth, even more so in anatomy and counter-investigation, as well as psychology.

His modus operandi involved assassinating and then precisely removing a part of the victim, dismembering a part of the body to classical music.

Of course, if Su Ming were here, he would put it in simpler terms—Little James is like DC's "Hannibal."

Except he would bury or discard organs, not eat them.

Since Charise was imprisoned for the crime of killing her entire family and dismembering her parents and brother, this greatly appealed to Little James, as it was something he longed to do.

So, he taught Charise many skills, and many other prisoners also had their proud skills swindled by Charise, which made her into a powerful warrior.

When Charise felt prepared, she used a secret her father held to make a deal with the city government's high-level officials to leave Arkham and inherited the vast wealth of the Kanes Clan.

She crafted a purple uniform, a golden mask, a scarlet cross on her chest, transforming into the Fallen Knight (Knightfall), to punish crime in Gotham.

Sound like a female Batman? Perhaps, but the Fallen Knight's methods were far too brutal. Every criminal who met her faced a fate of insane torture and ultimately violent death.

Bone Breaker's real name is Sally Sarasota, a Mexican woman of incredible strength, possibly with some Paradise Island bloodline. Her skin is whiter than typical Latin descent, and her entire body is impervious to blades and bullets, with her pair of fists capable of splitting mountains as her weapon.

She was originally a wrestler in Gotham, the kind that wore bikinis and 'performed' with other women in the ring. She had a pair of twin daughters and, although not wealthy, she considered her life to be very happy.

Unfortunately, this is Gotham, where anyone can suddenly die. A mad drunk driver killed her children, driving her completely insane.

In her view, the punishment for killing someone while driving drunk was simply a fine plus probation, which was utterly unjust.

So she found that driver, knocked him out, and chained him to the back of a car with iron chains. She drank while driving down the highway from Gotham to Metropolis.

When the state highway patrol finally stopped her half an hour later, that man had been worn away.

Although it was also driving drunk and killing someone, her sentence was entirely different. She was thrown into Arkham.

Fortunately, with the help of a caring female psychologist, she seemed to come out of her grief....

Moreover, through this, she met Charise, who was also a 'patient'. On the day after the wealthy heiress was released from prison, she was bailed out.

Money holds great power, and in Gotham, there's nothing monetary power can't achieve. Let alone bail, Charise even created a pair of Wonder Woman-style Promethium metal bracelets as weapons for Sally.

However, Dr. Quinzel's treatment for her was only half complete. Sally still often experienced hallucinations, believing her deceased twin daughters were right beside her, talking to them, preparing breakfast every day, and telling them bedtime stories at night.

The third female, Katastrophe, originally named Klap Vilsak, is of Thai descent. She was once a police officer at the Gotham Police Station, extremely intolerant of evil, and served as Gordon's right-hand person.

But living in Gotham, no one lives without a complicated background. In her youth, Klap was an adorable little girl, which led to a perverted teacher molesting her for several years.

When she grew up and became a police officer, an occasion arose where Gordon and the others caught her former teacher, dredging up traumatic memories, and Klap chose revenge. She castrated him in the holding cell.

This brought trouble, as although the pervert was caught red-handed, there was no evidence proving he had previously molested Klap.

So, due to using vigilante justice and the prospect of possible imagined disorders, Klap was sent to Gotham's top psychologist back then. She wasn't sentenced, but she required 'isolated treatment' in Arkham.

The outcome needs no further explanation. She found new friends and embraced the arms of the Kanes family's young lady.

Wayne Enterprises is wealthy, but Kanes Real Estate is no less. If she couldn't even uphold justice for herself, what was the point of being a police officer?!

Upon being bailed out, she immediately resigned and joined the Humiliation Squad. As a gift, Charise, through connections, smuggled a pair of wings for her from the Sena Gang...

The last member is the only male in the squad, Brick Michael, a Black teenager about the same age as Himeko, with an afro, codenamed Divine Child.

He doesn't have superpowers, but he is a super chemical genius, with talent even more outstanding than the Scarecrow. Laundry detergent and toilet cleaner in his hands can be turned into lethal weapons.

His life is also a tragedy. As a colored orphan, he could only join a gang, where 'teachers' decided to teach the kids skills truly useful for surviving in Gotham.

Yes, they taught the kids how to make drugs, a business yielding hefty profits once mastered, giving one significant status on Gotham's underworld streets.

But the teachers did not anticipate that their lessons were far too simple for a real genius.

Brick, the Divine Child, learned all their skills rapidly, self-taught the formulas of drugs available on Gotham's market, and independently developed over ten new types of drugs.

The situation reversed. The teachers viewed him as a cash cow, imprisoning him and forcing him to manufacture drugs.

A genius will not submit to fate. Brick used the chemical materials at hand, and within a few days, developed a super gas ineffective on himself.

When this gas was released into the building, his 14 'teachers' and 3 classmates died instantly.

It was instantaneous, with no antidote; victims suffered tremendously. It perfectly fulfilled anyone's expectations for a poison.

However, Brick is a good kid. Once free, he went to the police station and turned himself in on his own.

Needless to say, as he didn't understand what murder meant, thinking it was a form of liberation, he was deemed too dangerous, becoming the youngest patient admitted to Arkham.

And then.... guess who his attending doctor was?
