"Well, well, well… if it ain't the pasty-white prick who had us all bumped off!"
- Scarface to a hologram of Jack Napier
Scarface is the puppet of the infamous criminal the Ventriloquist, who believes Scarface to be a separate entity and his boss. Following the Ventriloquist's death, his daughter named Penny Wesker became Scarface's next servant.
Biography[]
Scarface made his debut into the White Knight Universe, along with Arnold Wesker/Ventriloquist, in "Welcome To Gotham" (Batman: White Knight #2). Scarface and Arnold are asked by Jack Napier, the Joker who had regained his sanity, to meet with him and other of Batman's worst enemies in a wear house at night. He tells the villains that they spent to much time fighting with each other instead of fighting Batman, with everyone disagreeing. Jack then says he only brought them all here to have a drink, Scarface and Arnold then watched as Harleen Quinzel handed Jack the hat of Mad Hatter. Looking around everyone starts to wonder what was going on and where was Clayface, with Jack saying "He's here. More or less." As Arnold and everyone drank their drinks, their eyes turn green. This is because prior to the meeting, Jack used Mad Hatter's mind control to take control of Clayface, having him dissolve into dust and then putting the dust in the drinks of everyone in the meeting, including Arnold's.
Trivia[]
- It has never been clear whether Scarface was actually just an aspect of Arnold's Multiple Personality Disorder, or if he had actually somehow gained sentience. There have been several instances where Scarface has functioned independently of a human controller, but this may also be a reflection of the controller's mental state at the given moment. On occasion, Scarface has been animate during times when Arnold was asleep or unconscious, or not even present at all. One of the strongest arguments for suggesting that Scarface may be a separate consciousness is the fact that he always maintains the same personality no matter who is operating him.
