Disdain

Origin
The only known, recorded origin of Disdain is a report chronicled by Dr. Melissa Miller, the psychological specialist in Gotham City's Arkham Asylum. Below is her report.

Information regarding Disdain’s beginnings are hazy, at best. She doesn’t seem to have a recollection of her birth date, birthplace or any information regarding her childhood and parents. During rehab stints in Arkham, she only had memory of recent events. On a number of occasions, she would try to manipulate my emotions, and take joy when it succeeded. She seems to have strong manipulation powers, though is unable to take control whenever her victim presents a clear mind. I was able to do this after a few times, quickly learning how to prevent her from controlling me.

Trying to restrain her and recuperate her has proved useless. She doesn’t like to cooperate a lot, instead mocking me and saying how she could easily kill me if she wanted. Her hatred for humankind is what seems to fuel her. She doesn’t like to be told what to do; instead letting her actions do the talking for not only herself, but for others as well.

As for a final recommendation, there is none. Everything that I’ve tried with her has failed and as accomplished as I am, I have given up on Disdain. She is beyond any kind of mental repair. Being the specialist in Arkham Asylum, I’ve dealt with my fair share of insane villains: The Joker, The Riddler, Victor Zsasz, Penguin, Scarecrow, just to name a few. I’ve made progress with all of those mentioned, with Disdain being my only exception. Keeping her locked up is the safest way to ensure that she doesn’t hurt anyone else by controlling their emotions and mind. As we all know, however, keeping any villain in Arkham is a chore in it of itself.
