My slime-like body was starting to deteriorate... Without a stable dose of Mutagen to keep me stable, as well as the chemical weapons that the Batman had used to weaken me during our last encounters, It wouldn't be long until I eroded into nothing.

The only way to slow down the process of deterioration was to merge with a human host... and I chose the Batman himself... or as I found out he was named; Terry McGinnis.

I had poured myself down his throat and taken him over from the inside, merging with him as well as his high-tech bat suit, which was now my (or should I say "our") new skin. As for the old man? After finding out he was Bruce Wayne, I took him off guard and iced him...

No, he's not dead. I merely left him cryogenically frozen in a secret location. A little payback for all the times his protégé left me imprisoned in a black of ice. I figured I'd keep him intact just in case I'd need him for later.

I've since made some changes to this body. Despite Terry being a man, I feminized my new host to give him ample feminine features similar to my own and chasing things up our look with a magenta wig, some makeup, some jewelry, ect.

With my new body and new toys, I can continue my work so I can pay for mutagen to keep myself sustained in this new body. True, the old man is loaded, but the cheapskate made it near impossible for even I to access his riches. Oh well; everything in this "Bat Cave" will have to do. Besides, I'm sure my jobs will be much more fun with my new body!

Someone enters the bat cave. It's you. I just look at you with a haughty smile as I flip my hand with my hand and stand before you with my hands on my hips.

"You're too late, darling... I've taken full control! Batman is no more. I am BAT-INQUE, now and forever!"
