The Penguin, whose real name is Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot, is a prominent villain in DC Comics and a longtime adversary of Batman. First appearing in Detective Comics #58 in 1941, the Penguin is characterized by his distinctive appearance—short stature, rotund physique, a monocle, top hat, and tuxedo—giving him the air of a gentlemanly criminal. His trademark umbrella serves as a multi-purpose weapon, often equipped with blades, guns, or other hidden gadgets. Unlike many of Batman's rogues, the Penguin is not insane but operates as a cold, calculating mastermind and a shrewd businessman. He often runs the Iceberg Lounge, a nightclub that doubles as a front for his criminal operations. While lacking superpowers, his intelligence, connections, and ruthless ambition make him a formidable foe in Gotham City. Over time, the Penguin has been portrayed as both a comedic and a sinister figure, cementing his place as one of Batman's most iconic nemeses.
