Remind you of anyone?

They say that Oswald Cobblepot, or the Penguin, is misunderstood.

Does this remind you of anyone here in Vancouver?

He considers himself a “gentleman of crime,” although he does tend to shout “Waugh! Waugh! Waugh!” when speaking (or screaming).

He is an outcast in his rich, high society family; their rejection drives him to a life of crime.

In keeping with his pretensions of being a refined gentleman, he also prefers to wear formal wear such as a top hat, monocle, and tuxedo during his jobs.

Driven entirely by self-interest, the Penguin often relies on cunning, wit, and intimidation to exploit his surrounding for profit and advance his own schemes.

Although fighting and hard work is mostly pushed over to his henchmen, he himself is not above taking aggressive lethal actions on his own, especially when provoked.

He tends to reside in the sewers, where he plots most of his attacks against his enemies, which tends to be most of society from all walks of life (his resentment against the world as a whole is blatant).

So, if you take away the criminal elements of the story, does this profile remind you of anyone in this city?

Here…I’ll give you a hint.  He isn’t at all like James Dean.
