HISTORY
Ethan Cobblepot is the son of Penguin and Crystal, a former waitress at the Iceberg Lounge. When Crystal informed the Penguin of her pregnancy she was fired and she moved to Virginia where Ethan was brought up. The Penguin was never late with child support and when Ethan got in to Yale he sent a final check for his tuition with a note that his "fatherly obligations" were now completed.
Ethan went to see his father to return the check but was only met with rejection. The Penguin didn't want the money back so instead Ethan used them as capital to start up his company VicForm. Setting up the company in Burnside, Gotham he came into contact with Batgirl who discovered that he was using VicForm apps to create seemingly random accidents.
