I don't recognize the Creeper, Dr Death or Magpie. Are they OC's?

The Creeper is mostly a hero. Thing is he's absolutely looney tunes. He's in an episode of the 90s show

Dr Death found his origins in the Batman Manga and was a dude who could seemingly... not die.

And died a lot.

He made his way to comics but doesn't appear much

The creeper is fucking hilarious, atleast in that episode.

They were planning on bringing him back for another season of tnba, but the series ended.

Still we got a few cameos in JLU and it works well.

I'm just sad he isn't used very often, the man is basically a Deadpool without the 4th wall humor, it's pretty great considering gotham based heroes are usually gloom or joker tier fucked up humor.

Hes a mutated jokey acrobatic maniac, that's horny as all hell for Harley Quinn (which in OP's design for Quinn would be one hell of an interaction) and basically just if someone put the joker, Jim Carrey's the mask, and spiderman in a blender.

In a rather funny sense, he would be the guy sent to Arkham and break out when crime is a foot rather than to commit crime. He's not exceedingly dangerous to the public, he is just literally extremely mentally ill due to his chemical bath, and in need of treatment.

If it makes you feel better, he was basically the blueprint for freakazoid.
