History
Kelani Apaka was born in Hawaii's capital, Honolulu, to a family of indigenous Hawaiians. He later moved to Gotham City and became a famous comedian as well as a cultural activist. In his early days as a comedian, he used to imitate the vigilante Batman, while dressing up in an oversized suit resembling the Batsuit, and called himself the "Fatman". He resided in the upscale suburb of the Somerset District and was reputed for his colorful shirts as well as his loud laughter. He was murdered by one of the three Jokers, who broadcast it live on the internet. His death was greatly mourned by fellow comedians and Hawaiians.[1]
