Nigma

Nigma is a fictional character who first appeared in DC Comics. He is primarily known as the Riddler's younger sibling, and like his brother, he possesses a penchant for riddles and puzzles. Nigma's first appearance was in Detective Comics #840 in 2008, created by Paul Dini and Tony Daniel.

The character's background is closely tied to Edward Nygma, the Riddler. Nigma often finds himself drawn into his brother's criminal schemes, sometimes willingly and sometimes as a pawn. While not as prolific a criminal mastermind as the Riddler, Nigma has demonstrated his own intellectual capabilities, often assisting his brother with planning and execution, or occasionally pursuing his own, albeit less grand, schemes. His motivations are often a mix of a desire for attention, a twisted sense of family loyalty, and a genuine enjoyment of intellectual challenges.

Nigma's personality is characterized by a high intelligence, a theatrical flair, and a somewhat insecure nature, often overshadowed by his more famous brother. He shares the Riddler's obsession with riddles but typically operates on a smaller scale. His appearances in the comics have been relatively infrequent, often serving to further develop the Riddler's character or to provide a different perspective on his criminal activities. He has also been depicted as having a more vulnerable side, particularly in his interactions with his brother. The character's potential for further development remains a possibility within the DC Universe.
