Arthur "Artie" Brown was a young child prodigy with a promising life ahead of him, accomplishing many things and earning awards in contests and commercial success, including one for the creation of a successful little person football team. Eventually, he competed on a game show called Think, Thank, Thunk and was the reigning champion for thirteen straight weeks until someone defeated him. He threw a temper tantrum on live television, saying the show was rigged and prompted his mother to file a lawsuit against the show. However, the show's producer, Herbert Ziegler possesses a significant amount of wealth and extensive connections at the Gotham City Hall, causing the lawsuit being rejected, culminating in Arthur going into hiding in his house in shame and anger, becoming extremely fat and obese due to his lifetime supply of Kremelos, which was his consolation prize from the game. He turned his back on his future and devoted his life to revenge, obliviously wasting away both his talents and future all because of an old and forgotten game show.
