Jonathan Powers (Earth-7045)

Jonathan Powers wanted to be an actor, but lack of natural talent, combined with a ridiculously high opinion of himself, made him a laughingstock of the industry. Powers assumed the mantle of the costumed criminal Jester to seek revenge on all who mocked him. Despite this lackluster premise, Powers proved himself a scheming, psychopathic mastermind who loves fooling society into tearing itself apart and takes huge pleasure in torturing Daredevil when he can.

Weapons
The Jester employs a variety of harmless-looking toys and gimmicks modified into deadly weapons or special tools. He has a yo-yo whose weighted knob can be used for striking and whose thin steel cable can be used for strangling. He has a bag of polished ball bearing marbles which he throws onto the ground to make an opponent lose his footing. He has a box of popcorn-like objects which explode on impact and emit a noxious tear-gas. He has a number of 8-inch diameter plastic flying discs rigged to squirt an anesthetic drug. He has various sized rubber balls containing plastic explosives in their centers. He has an extendable artificial hand on a scissors rigged with a high voltage electrical charge, as well as an artificial hand that can be fired from a small air-cannon.

Besides these weapons, which he carries on his person or in a pouch, he occasionally employs larger and more complicated weapons, such as miniature (2 feet tall) robots outfitted with laser weaponry, diamond drill bits, etc., that can be remotely controlled by a radio-linked micro-processor that responds to spoken commands.

The Jester is constantly expanding and refining his arsenal of deadly toys.

Trivia

 * The parallels to DC's Joker have not gone unnoticed, which doesn't do him any favors to his reputation in the supervillain community.
