Anarky's Background
At the age of 12, Lonni Machin dedicated himself to ridding the world of the bourgeois elitists and politicians who made life unfair for the average person (after a reading of the extremely controversial book "Universe" by Skudder Klyce). Taking the name Anarky, he fought against injustice in Gotham City until he was stopped by the Batman.
Later, by using a virtual reality device of his own design, he fused the 2 hemispheres of his brain together, enabling him to comprehend and process infomration better than nearly any other human being. Undergoing a strict regiment of mental and physical conditioning, he prepared himself to be better able to protect the rights of the downtrodden.
With MAX, the artificial intelligence he created, he has given the Batman and Robin no end of trouble with his politically-based crimes, which he sees as justice for the downtrodden. He has even bested Darkseid in a battle of cunning. However, Anarky has recently opted to work on "the side of the angels."
More recently, Lonnie discovered some disturbing news about his heritage. After his parents were missing and presumed dead in the Gotham earthquake, he found out thet they were not his natural mother & father. His birth mother was a showgirl named Greta Mitchell who had a fling with a costumed villain, Lonnie's father, the Joker. This information only strengthened Lonnie's resolve to fight against the ruling elite as Anarky.
Although he is still wanted by the police, Anarky has risked his life on several occassions to help the JLA, Green Lantern, and Robin. He has stopped an interstellar aberraton that threatened the entire universe. He even whisked the teenaged JLA (who had been made younger by Klarion the Witch Boy) to safety while they were being sought by the authorities who mistakenly believed them to be Young Justice.
His motiviations remain his own, yet he is still dedicated to confronting the system that abuses the everyman.
Anarky is 16 years old now.
Anarky's first appearance was in
Detective Comics #608, in 1989.
