Prankster 01

The Prankster, real name Oswald Loomis, is a villain from the DC franchise and a recurring enemy of Superman.

Origin[]

Oswald Loomis was once a popular host of the "Uncle Oswald Show," a WGBS-TV early morning children's program. Oswald Loomis unleashed a host of dangerous pranks upon Metropolis when ratings and cancellation cut short his comedic career. He became a criminal and conman who used elaborate practical jokes to commit crimes. Dubbing himself "The Prankster", he set about playing dangerous practical jokes targeted at Metropolis and its citizens.

Loomis even held Lois Lane hostage and tried to marry her. When Morgan Edge was hurled out of a trap door 30 stories high, Superman managed to save Edge and freed Lois before Loomis surrendered. The Prankster then escaped his guard for fear of prison. Oswald Loomis later returned in a younger, more athletic body after selling his soul to Lord Satanus. His personality also changed; he was no longer a joke, he was now a manic trickster with the a twisted desire to make the world laugh. When Metropolis was upgraded by Brainiac 13.

Oswald Loomis took advantage of the futuristic technology, creating high-tech gadgets and weapons, which retain a comical theme. Oswald Loomis challenges Superman again as he was suffering from Kryptonite poisoning during the battle, and was hospitalized in S.T.A.R. Labs shortly thereafter.

When the Joker took over the Earth, he was Joker City's only exorcist, who still acted as childish as ever, but wears a Halloween mask now. His goal was to expel the evil from those who still believe in science, John Henry Irons in particular which the Joker has practically destroyed while wielding the 5th Dimension powers of Mister Mxyzptlk. He was one of the various super criminals sent to to the penal colony on the planet Cygnus 4019, which has been nicknamed "Salvation".

The Prankster was among the many of criminals who was caught and placed in the Phantom Zone by the people of Kandor. Superman later freed Prankster only to be taken to Belle Reve. In the Smallville comic series, the Prankster was a member of Intergang and a former Queen Industries R&D developer who turned to crime after being inspired by Toyman.
