Sabretooth’s powers and skills make the Joker more dangerous than he has ever been, and the name of this amalgam villain perfectly captures the Joker’s energy. With Sabretooth’s healing factor, strength, claws, and fighting ability, the Joker can carry out his despicably ingenious plans like never before as he can bear witness to his own mass destruction without being impacted by the damage, allowing him to revel in his sick villainy. While the Joker is brutally cruel and utterly insane, he is still mortal and is limited to the kind of carnage he can create across Gotham City. Not only is the new name Hyena perfect as a replacement for the Joker, but his new powers make the Clown Prince of Crime the villain he always wished he could be.
