Pandy doll Mouse had given her years before as the two stared up at Wayne Tower. After stealing the weapon capable of penetrating the bat-suit , Beth ordered the Rifle to murder one of the scientists responsible for its creation, Derek Holcomb.
Holcomb was then ambushed in an alleyway and stabbed to death as Beth emerged from the shadows alongside Mouse, applauding.
However, she still wasn't impressed and asked for what his boss promised to her. He explained that his boss wouldn't hand over anything until they knew the gun worked, causing Beth to swiftly shoot it into a wall and walk away.
Later, after the Rifle retrieved what Beth wanted, he delivered it to her and she finally handed over the gun, requesting he give Batwoman her best. After the Rifle attempted to use the gun on Batwoman and it didn't work, he angrily returned to Beth's lair who only told him that it was a shame the only three people who could fix it were dead. He warned her that Safiyah was going to be pissed, causing Beth to slap him and warn him not to mention her name.
After he left, Beth looked at the power cell she had taken from the gun and told herself there was nothing she wouldn't do to protect Kate. Later, Mouse, wearing a mask to look like Jacob Kane, walked up to Alice who held up a small vial of poison and explained that they were about to host the most memorable tea-party Gotham had ever seen.
Few days later, Alice was trying on clothes, whining about how she has nothing to wear, when Kate comes in and accuses her of hiring the Rifle to kill her, to which she stated that she made sure he didn't kill her, giving her the piece of tech that allowed the weapon to penetrate the Batwoman suit.
Kate advised Alice to turn herself in, however the latter told her to leave as several of her henchmen arrived to back her up. Later, Alice woke up the imprisoned Jacob Kane; the man said that he was sorry that he left her behind, however, Beth asked why he never tested the skull fragments Catherine found, and Jacob explained that he didn't think Catherine was lying and that believing her was easy than going to bed with a broken heart; finally admitting that he failed her.
Alice thanked him for saying it and for making her what she was today. Jacob asked what she was planning, and Alice explained it was the day of her mad tea party, to which he has been invited despite being stuck there.
That night, Kate visited Alice after having discovered Mouse replaced Jacob, asking her where their father was, Alice said that she left him in the same place he left her and that he wasn't doing well; however after reaching the old Cartwright house Kate discovered that Alice lied about Jacob being there. Then the villainess went to the Gotham's annual Humanitarian Ball at the Orpheum Theatre in time for Catherine speech; after the woman noticed her between the audience, on Catherine's teleprompter appeared a message from Alice informing her that the Wonderland gang had infiltrated the Crows and was now surrounding the building, thus, forcing Catherine, in order to avoid anyone to get harmed, to admit all of her crimes in front of the audience declaring to be the real villainess of Gotham together with her husband.
Then the woman started to feel dizzy and collapsed to the ground, prompting the ceremony to end. Then, after Catherine was transported to the back of the stage and Mary called the hospital while "Jacob" left stating that he was going to look for help, Alice entered the room revealing that the woman was poisoned with a Hamilton Dynamics toxin by Mouse under the pretense he was Jacob and that she got the antidote with her.
After pouring the antidote into a teacup, Alice forced Catherine to apologize to her for the years of suffering she endured because of her deception then, after having received said apology, she revealed Mary was poisoned too and that there was only enough antidote for one of them. After Alice left, Catherine sacrificed herself to save her daughter. After her revenge was finally complete, Alice prepared to flee the building bus but was confronted by Batwoman, who asked her once again where their father was, Alice responded that she would find it out soon, stating that she spent eleven years locked in a cell dreaming of revenge and insisting that Catherine brought it on herself.
Enraged, Batwoman grabbed Alice by the throat starting to suffocating her, however Mouse intervened, breaking up the fight before fleeing with Alice. During the Anti-Monitor Crisis , Beth as well as everyone in the multiverse except for the seven Paragons , was killed in an antimatter wave by the Anti-Monitor on December 10, , [16] only to be restored a month later, after the Paragons and the Spectre created a new universe.
Alice and her gang leave Ryan and Cora 's apartment. On December 13, , [11] the Wonderland gang stayed as squatters in an apartment when the landlord brought its intended tenants, Cora Lewis and Ryan Wilder. The gang killed Cora and the landlord. As the gang assaulted Ryan with the intent to kill her next, Alice entered the apartment and ordered her minions to exit immediately, leaving Ryan with a vendetta against them.
Alice along with Mouse celebrate the death of Catherine over her grave by having a Tea Party in the rain as the graveyard was empty of other people. Alice expressed her desires for Kate to finally join her newfound family seeing as she got their father and stepmother out of the way, but Mouse knows Kate won't see it that way and tells Alice so, but she continues to believe her delusion of grandeur. A few days later, Alice abducted Parker Torres , planning to use her hacking skills to out Kate as Batwoman so they could finally be sisters.
Parker, however, refused to out Kate and instead tipped off law enforcement about Alice's location and to the C-4 bomb, the latter hid at Parker's school dance while only messaging both Kate and Alice's phones to give a false impression that Batwoman was exposed. Kate tells Beth that the world would have been a better place if she had stayed dead. Kate then quickly set Parker free, allowing her to escape while she dealt with Alice and tells her that "The world would stayed an better place if Beth had stayed dead" visibly hurting Alice despite her earlier statements that Beth died an long time ago in the rabbit hole.
Mouse detonate the C-4 by distance like he was ordered to do by Alice as a contingency in case her plan was thwarted, despite Batwoman, the Crows and GCPD managing to save everyone inside the building. Later, the villainess was arrested and placed into an interrogation room at Crows Security headquarters, where she was visited by Sophie Moore, determined to extort her a confession to free Jacob.
However, Alice expressed no interest in changing her ways or giving up any information and even attempted to mess with Sophie's mind, bringing up the pain of her hidden sexuality.
Sophie eventually grew tired of her and ordered for her to be taken to to Arkham, unaware that she had managed to obtain the fishing wire from her old copy of Alice in Wonderland and escaped her restraints. When Sophie attempted to stop her, Alice threatened her with a gun and then escaped after mocking her fear of coming out.
Later, she tried to use Mary's blood, containing the universal cure-all Desert Rose, to survive. Eventually, at the very last second, Beth was nonetheless shot to death by August Cartwright who mistook her for Alice ironically saving the life of his former captive whom he wanted to kill.
Alice self-resurrected and she knocked out a stunned Kate and fled Mary's clinic very hurt and angry by Kate's betrayal and also a little bit confused about why she was still alive.
Alice listens as her lackeys tell her that they cannot find Mouse. Alice then shows up at the opening of Kate's new club and wants to know where Mouse is; Kate says she doesn't know where he is.
When Alice returns to her hideout, she is attacked by Nocturna and tied up. Nocturna tells Alice she has to kill her since she has seen her face, but Alice points her in Mary's direction instead. Later, Kate finds Alice tied up and wonders why Nocturna let her live.
Alice evades the questions, and Kate finds out Mary has been captured by Nocturna. She quickly realizes Alice sent Nocturna after Mary and leaves to go rescue her. Alice shows up and helps Kate save Mary.
Kate confronts Alice in her lair and calls her a parasite, feeding on her guilt. She wonders why Alice helped her save Mary. Alice told Kate that she did it to prove how stupid she is. Kate tells Alice she has given up on her, and as she leaves, Alice says that maybe she doesn't want Kate to give up on her. One of Alice's henchmen hands her a file on a Dr. Ethan Campbell. After going through the file, Alice realizes that Dr.
Campbell is actually August Cartwright. Alice finds that she can't think of ways to torture Cartwright, so she calls in Dr. Malone for help. He tells her that she is still scared of Cartwright and needs a third person to act as an emotional.
Alice says he has been helpful, but still orders her men to kill him to make sure no one knows she is still alive. Alice is then handed a file on Duela Dent , and rads about her. Realizing Duela is the "buffer" she needs, Alice approaches her to make a deal. She knows that she had surgery performed by Dr.
Campbell and wants to get revenge for both of them. Alice takes Duela's face and wears it as a mask. She corners August in his office, who believes he had previously killed her when he has shot and killed Beth.
Alice then ties up Cartwright and leaves him for Batwoman to find while she goes to find Mouse after forcing Cartwright to reveal to her his location. Alice goes to Mabel's old house where she finds Mouse strapped to a chair being forced to ingest Jonathan Crane 's fear toxin. Alice tells mouse the caterpillar told her where to find him. Mouse has a hard time believing it is Alice since Cartwright had told him Alice was dead.
Alice slaps him and recited their password, so Mouse believes her. Alice wonders why his own father would strap him to a chair and force him to ingest fear toxin. Mouse explains he wanted him to relive his greatest fear, which it turns out is Alice. Mouse knocks Alice out, and straps her to the chair. Beth "comes out" for a short moment and calls her father "daddy" for the first time in many years.
As Alice comes to, he turns on the fear toxin and puts the mask on her, forcing her to also ingest it. Alice screams as Mouse leaves her there. The toxin forces Alice to see a hallucination of Mabel Cartwright with a burned face, who forced Alice to submit to her authority like she used to.
Alice then relives her past causing her to scream and cry. By the time Alice breaks free, she is completely broken. Sobbing uncontrollably, Alice tries the door, but it is locked.
Alice cries that she can't do this again, and breaks the window. She holds a shard of glass and prepares to slit her throat when Jacob arrives.
He begs Alice not to kill herself, and Alice screams at him to get away, believing he is not real. Jacob grabs Alice and injects adrenaline into her which nullifies the fear toxin. He grabs his daughter and holds her tight as she continues to sob hysterically and call him daddy. Jacob wraps a blanket around Alice after she clams down. Alice asks why he came, and Jacob says he still cares and wants her to hang onto whatever sanity she has left.
Alice talks about Mabel having her mother's earrings being her breaking point. Jacob wonders how Cartwright got the earrings, and Alice days that somethings are better left unsaid. Alice is handcuffed and she and Jacob return to Kate's club where they discover Kate killed Cartwright. Alice taunts Jacob over the fact that both his daughters are now killers. She joins Kate in the alleyway where they share a drink straight from the bottle. Alice is freed from her handcuffs, so she can help Jacob and Kate bury Cartwright's body.
Alice taunts Kate over killing Cartwright and laments the irony of how he tore them apart and has now brought them back together. Alice finishes burying the body, and then reveals that she stole Jacob's gun. She warns them not to make a move against her as their fingerprints are all over the crime scene. When Alice returns to her lair, she finds all of her gang members have been slaughtered.
Alice approaches Kate and asks for her help in finding Mouse. Kate reduces, which causes a a brawl to break out between them where Kate almost strangles Alice to death before stopping herself.
Alice promises to take Mouse and leave Gotham for good, so Kaye agrees. They go to the home of a nurse that had previously treated Mouse in Arkham.
Mouse shows up and she calls the Crows, who capture him and lock him up in Arkham. Alice convinces Kate to help her break into Arkham to save Mouse after Kate makes her promise not to kill. Alice eventually finds Mouse, strapped to a chair and receiving electroshock therapy.
As Alice goes to free him, Kate closed the cell door, locking Alice in. Alice wants to know what Kate is doing, and Jacob appears revealing it was a plan between the two of them to trap Alice. They had already relocated Cartwright's body, so Alice has nothing on them. Alice raged at Kate for lying to her, but Kate said she kept her promise to help her find Mouse. Alice cries and begs to be let out, but Jacob and Kate walk away.
Alice is later placed into a cell of her own where it is implied her psyche has fractured even more. She laments her imprisonment, saying she doesn't want to be a prisoner; she wants to be a queen.
During her first week, at Arkham, Dr. Butler repeatedly tortured Alice through electroshock therapy. The day after the last ECT, while Mouse got accustomed to the quiet and safety it offered, Alice was heavily annoyed during a psychoanalytic session with Dr.
Butler and few other patients, Mouse tried to convince Alice in opening up as well and describing the asylum as a "sanctuary" just a few moment before the session was dismissed due to Tommy Elliot intervention. As he was opening up, she took notice of his hidden shiv and began concocting a plan to take over the asylum.
The following day, Alice got herself stabbed by Elliot, so she would take his shiv. After exiting the infirmary, she met with Mouse, who asked her how she felt, to which she replied that Elliot has done exactly what she wanted, thus removing the wire the nurse placed on her wound and giving it to him. Few hours later, while Mouse was being prepared by Dr. Butler for an electroshock therapy session, he stabbed the doctor in the chest, killed him and took his place by sewing a skin grafts mask with Alice's wire.
The following morning he approached Alice as Butler and asked her if she was ready to exit the institute from the front door, however she replied that she changed her mind and believed he was right because by staying there they could be the "King and Queen of Arkham" at least till it was time for her return to Gotham.
A week later, Alice ordered Mouse to deny Tommy Elliot's insanity plea, when the Crows asked if he was able to undergo a trial for Lucius Fox 's murder.
She met with Elliot in his cell, after his visit with her sister Kate. Alice informed him of his soon to be arrest, and that Crows would arrive the following day to take him to trial, where he would most likely be executed. Alice then offered the man to help him escape Arkham and giving him a new face in exchange of Lucius Fox's journal , with Mouse unmasking in front of him for good measure.
Tommy then relented and explained that the journal allegedly had a way to activate a fail-safe in the Batsuit that would kill the wearer, revealing to them that her cousin Bruce Wayne is Batman. Alice and Mouse staged Elliot's "suicide", after removing his face, and began plotting on getting the journal back from Johnny Sabatino , Elliot's money launderer.
However, expecting Johnny to betray Elliot, she sent Magpie to retrieve the journal in exchange for her freedom. She was soon visited by her father, who was suspicious of Elliot's suicide, Jacob interrogated his daughter asking her if she knew what was happening.
Alice however reminded him that he was the reason she was locked up in Arkham and she couldn't care less about helping him, causing Jacob to state that she was the one who told him that "Beth was never coming back" and he was simply acting accordingly in order to protect the only daughters he had left.
In response, Alice vowed to make him suffer far worse than how she's suffering behind Arkham's walls and left the meeting room. The following day, after retrieving the journal, Alice kept her word and removed Magpie's tracker. After she left, Mouse revealed to her something that Elliot neglected to mention about the journal; Lucius Fox wrote the entire journal in code. Impatient and wanting to decrypt the journal as soon as possible, Alice wanted Elliot to kidnap Luke Fox, as she believed Lucius's son can decrypt the code.
To prevent her from kidnapping Luke Fox and thus attracting Batwoman's attention on them, risking their hideout, Elliot and Mouse had a professor and an N. Since Elliot's various kidnappings led Crows Security to place all of Gotham's cryptography experts under surveillance, Alice then suggested to kidnap her old hostage, Parker Torres for the third and final attempt before her idea would be implemented; however, after Elliot failed his kidnapping mission due to Batwoman's intervention, Alice finally got her things way as Mouse called Luke on the phone mimicking Kate's voice in order to get his location allowing Elliot to get him and Julia Pennyworth , whom they decided to use as the leverage for Luke to do the job.
Though he managed to translate his father's work, both Julia and Luke decided that they would not yield the code until Batwoman arrived and traded their lives with a pair of eyeglasses that could make the journal readable. After accepting the exchange, much to Mouse's dismay, Alice declared that she wanted Kate dead more than she wanted peace in paradise so she opened all of Arkham's cells, releasing all of the inmates. This chaos, along with fire and the Crows' arrival, caused Tommy, Mouse, and Alice to flee; Alice threw Mouse's disguise as Butler to the flames.
While they sat in a sewer, Mouse was unhappy and very resentful toward Alice for her choice. Yet Alice didn't care, she only cared about killing her sister, so after reading Lucius Fox's journal, she learned the key to penetrating the batsuit is through a little green rock called Kryptonite. During her search, she goes to Gotham University and asked where to find Kryptonite , but the geologist had no idea, after getting whatever information she could get, she bludgoned him with a piece of his rock collection.
Mouse grew impatient and decided to go to a place where they always dreamed of going. Alice burned her copy of Alice in Wonderland when Mouse started to bleed. Alice poisoned him, said that she was sorry, and continued her search for Kryptonite. Beth gave Hush a face that resembled her cousin, Bruce, in order to retrieve the piece of Kryptonite, that could penetrate the batsuit and kill Kate, hidden in Wayne Tower.
After the plane crash that left Kate missing, Alice went to the location. Alice later entered the Wayne Manor , drunk and dressed in black; she rebuked Tommy disguised as Bruce for having a good time while she mourned the death of her sister, but Tommy felt that he could celebrate her since he had sought the Kryptonite that he was sent by her to get her. When one of the two women approached "Bruce" to ask about the shower, Alice threw her knife at the woman's head, killing her.
Later, while Alice was playing the piano, Jacob, who was told by "Bruce" that she was hiding there, entered to arrest his daughter. To spite Jacob,. Alice told him that Kate is Batwoman and to test the statement by activating the Bat-Signal to see if Batwoman arrives, then she disarms him and leaves the manor. When Alice was returning to her hiding place, she received a note from Safiyah who confirmed she might've had something to do with Kate's disappearance, leading Alice to tell Mouse's corpse that she is now at war with Safiyah.
To get Safiyah's attention, Alice taped a rat to Mouse's corpse to attract some bats so they could feed on his blood, thus devouring the poison that killed him. Then, Alice broke into Julia Pennyworth 's car and suggested that they join forces as they had an enemy in common, Safiyah. Julia refused and said that Alice was desperate and alone, Alice then stabbed her and got out of the car. Alice shot Ryan several times but to no avail since the Batsuit is bulletproof.
Realizing that the costume is real, Alice challenged her to fight. She lost and Ryan was about to kill her, so Alice activated the device that controlled the bats and released them on Gotham. Alice managed to escape while Ryan tried to save the citizens of Gotham. Alice then Mary some of the blood Nocturna took from her when it was still imbued with the Desert Rose cure.
Mary was able to get the blood to Hamilton Dynamics where they produced an antidote to those infected by the bats. When Alice is leaving the clinic, she tells Mary that the "new girl" can be a problem. Later, Alice was approached by Sophie, who was struck by Safiyah's right-hand, Tatiana.
She says that Safiyah was not pleased with Alice's latest scheme and wanted to see her, so Tatiana knocked Alice unconscious and taking her to Coryana with Sophie.
The next morning, Alice woke up on Sophie's side of the island. They briefly talked about Safiyah and then Tatiana arrived and took Alice to meet the feared queen of Coryana.
Alice and Safiyah talked about the past, but Alice was more interested in avenging the death of Kate because she believed that Safiyah had killed her twin sister. After a brief scuffle, Safiyah told Alice that she had not killed Kate and showed Kate's unique necklace to Alice as proof that she knew the whereabouts of Alice's twin sister.
Before being drugged and dismissed from Coryana with Sophie, Alice promised Safiyah that she would do a job for her in order to be reunited with Kate. Safiyah told Alice that Kate would be returned to the island after Alice left. Alice and Sophie then woke up in Gotham and Alice managed to escape. When Luke Fox also arrives at Sophie's apartment, Alice threatens him with a gun and forces him to help.
Luke helps by calling Julia Pennyworth , who restricts Ocean's residence to four locations. Sophie soon manages to disarm Alice, leaving her alone in the apartment. When Sophie goes to the most likely location, she fights a thief until Alice arrives and scares the thief. Alice further explains that she needs to kill Ocean to gain her sister's freedom before kicking Sophie until she is knocked unconscious.
She has a weird pain when she sees a picture of Ocean. Later, Alice has learned the location of Ocean and goes to kill him; however, she decides that she wants to research him first. She enters a bar where she is approached by a man who hits on her, but she scares him and makes him leave. Ocean sees and congratulates her for making him leave. Not revealing her identity or intent, Alice drinks and flirts with he until she asks of his origins, prompting him to leave. When Alice tries to sneak into his hotel room, Ocean strikes her, leaving her unconscious and tied to her room chair.
When she wakes up, the two discuss his connection to Safiyah Sohail when the Many Arms of Death arrive. The two fight the assassins and flee. They both have weird pains and memories as they talk and grow closer. As they flee from the hotel in a car, Ocean reveals that he has the real Napier painting. They went to an abandoned train base, where they talked about Coryana and her lost memories. Alice touched him and remembered some time together on the island.
She then called Tatiana and Safiyah answered. Alice questioned her about her lost memories and Safiyah said that this was better, and that if she wanted to see Kate she would have to kill Ocean. When the call ended, Alice took her knife and tried to kill him. But before WoW took the world by storm in , Final Fantasy XI: Online would shape two distinct styles of tanking that influenced many games that followed.
Video games released in the wake of FFXI each had their own spin on unique tank classes. World of Warcraft has six, the massively popular space-based game EVE Online has two main tank classes, and Warhammer Online has three. Every RPG, whether massive and online or a single-player experience, had some kind of big-boned brawler. Meanwhile, tanks in team-based shooters like Overwatch specialize in protecting their teammates and disrupting the enemy.
The percentages are just a rough estimate, but the idea remains. It would be nice to have a trait similar to this for tanks. While I'm not saying the idea is bad, why should it exist?
I mean if you think about it a bit, the trait they already have semi covers both of these. If anything, what you're proposing should be a healer skill set, so that it applies to all jobs, not just tanks. Basically, the healer gets an increase in their power to defend or heal a party member based on said member's HP percentage. This seems the sort of mechanic you could build an HP Shield tank around.
Actually, now that you put it that way, that's the one way that sacrificing HP could work as a tank mechanic. Sacrifice X health, gain a temporary shield with equivalent damage absorption for Y seconds. If the devs were capable of designing more nuanced tanks, that would make a lot of sense for DRK.
Seems redundant to me to have a trait that actively does defensive cds for you. Tanking is already super easy and and if you are on the verge of dying no amount of defensive cd will save you. That's when you are supposed to use your invul to survive long enough for the healer to heal you.
