Origin
In the 8th Annual of Detective Comics, "Questions Multiply The Mystery", it was revealed that the Edward Nashton was raised in Waterbury. Seeking answers to every question that popped into his mind, he found himself asking endless streams of queries to adults, who would often get annoyed with him. One day at school, Edward heard about a contest from his teacher. The contest was to assemble a puzzle in the least amount of time. The winner would receive a prize. Seeking not only victory and reward but also attention and popularity, Edward became set on winning the contest. Each night, he broke into the school and practiced solving the puzzle. He practiced until he was able to solve the puzzle in fifteen seconds. After winning the contest, Edward received a book of puzzles and riddles, beginning his fascination with brain-teasers. However, after the contest, he only received attention from bullies, and not the kind he wanted.
Years passed, and Nashton found himself in the working class population. He described it as 'Being in Hell." Turning to crime as a mere reach of entertainment, Nashton discovered that he was not satisfied with simply committing a crime. He had to create hype and had to make himself known, thus becoming the Riddler (even changing his surname to Nygma). His first 'Riddle Crime' was ignored by the police. So, in return, the Riddler planned his next crime, only this time, he made sure his intentions were known. In his first confrontation with Batman, the Riddler managed to get away, but his fascination and compulsion for riddles only grew to include matching wits with the caped crusader. In his next crime, he would need assistants, but such were difficult to find with his lack of title. Riddler tried to raise funds for his next crime by himself, which led him to encounter his future assistants, Query and Echo. Query and Echo were devoted assistants, if not "a bit on the wild side".
In his next crime, the Riddler used much more elaborate riddles and tricks to throw the police off of his intentions. Although Batman was able to see through the tricks, Riddler had already committed his crime, and was fleeing to his hideout. Batman eventually caught up to him and was able to subdue him and take out Query and Echo, though not for long. the Riddler got away, later meeting up with his assistants again. Though he lost most of the money he stole from the banks, the Riddler did gain reputation. Now more infamous, the Riddler was able to get more muscle to match with his mind for his next crime. Unfortunately for the Riddler, Batman caught up to him and was able to take out his hired hands, and then drag him to Arkham.
