Biography[]

Past[]

Stan Potolsky was a biochemist working for WellZyn who created Viper, and its successor Venom and warned Martha and Thomas Wayne of the side-effects of the drug, who they proceeded to close the project. After the Wayne murder however, the board of Wayne Enterprises re-opened the project, much to Stan's displeasure. Viper vastly increased a person's strength to the point of them being able to carry ATMs as easily if they were backpacks but would also rapidly consume the calcium in someone's body. This required them to constantly consume dairy products like milk or the chemical would rapidly eat every ounce of calcium in thier body; causing a complete skeletal collapse with very fatal consequences. Due to corruption, WellZyn refused to listen so Stan Potolsky and his philosophy teacher decided that the only way to prove thier point was to release it on the population.

Gotham[]

Stan Potolsky is first seen giving a vial of Viper to the street guitarist Benny who would late die from the drug and also gives it to Charmagne. With the early demonstrations complete, Stan plans to murder several of Wayne enterprises employees, including Bruce Wayne, Molly Mathis and Sid Bunderslaw. When he releases the Viper gases, he is confronted by Jim Gordon and Harvey Bullock on the balcony of Wayne Tower. The detectives shoot the machine where the gas was, and all the gas is instead breathed by Potolsky who says that the detectives should check Warehouse 39, and that his mission is over. Slowly dying from his drug and with his goal fufilled, Potolsky jumps off the rooftop to his death.

Trivia[]

  • Potolsky is one of the few Gotham villains who actually have some noble objectives, but kill in order to reach their objectives.
