Biography[]
Past[]
Nicknamed 'The Goliath', Albert King was a professional boxer in Gotham City. He eventually ended up in hospital where he (and four other people) was, unknowingly, infected with Joker's blood. Due to the infection going unnoticed the mutated blood had gestated too long which made him act and look like The Joker. The first true sign that King was beginning to become like Joker was when he forcibly challenged three family members to an arm-wrestling match. Where he ripped their arms out upon beating them, as well as using their blood to create a Joker smile on his face.
Eventually, Batman (who was also infected) brought all four of the infected victims to a containment facility in Gotham's old movie studios and had Robin run tests to investigate why one of the infected, Henry Adams, wasn't like the others and using that information to possibly find a cure. At the containment facility Albert King formed a rivalry with fellow infected Johnny Charisma about who would fight Batman first.

Trivia[]
- He is the second longest infected out of the five.
- Depending on whether the player chose to fight Albert King or Johnny Charisma first, Albert King would either be shot in the head in front of Batman, Robin, and Harley Quinn by Henry Adams, or he would be killed off-screen by Henry Adams.
- The aspect of Joker's personality that King took on the most was Joker's violent nature.
- Albert King seemed to hold a huge rivalry with Johnny Charisma, at least in instances where Batman was involved, as they were seen arguing over who got to fight Batman next.
- He is the one who looked least like the Joker with his appearance being nowhere near the original. Though this is easily explainable: King's skin-tone was darker than Henry, Johnny and Bell's, so it would take longer for the infection to make him as pale as Joker.
- It is strongly implied that King used steroids and/or was enhanced by Joker's blood, since there's no way an ordinary and washed up boxer, whether seasoned or at their prime, would be comparable in terms of brute force and stamina to other bosses like Bane, Killer Croc or the Titan Goons nor he could kill a goon by throwing him into the air with a single punch and with minimum force.
