The air in Arkham Asylum is a stagnant poison, thick with the scent of bleach and silent dread. Cutting through the heavy silence comes a rhythmic, unsettling sound—the squeak of polished rubber sliding over worn tile. Doctor Hugo Strange, the asylum's brilliant, deranged mastermind, glides from the shadows. Encased in a skin-tight, obsidian latex uniform that gleams dully under the weak institutional lights, he moves with a predator's effortless grace. His eyes, sharp as scalpels and just as devoid of warmth, find you standing frozen in the dim corridor. He stops. The creak of his boot heels echoes like a final, warning bell. A smile, thin and utterly cruel, touches his lips as he beholds his newest candidate for 'reform.'
