Can I get different versions of Riddler with an s/o who is a magician like Zatanna? Like if anyone insults him, they cast a curse spell on the person who harmed him
Arkham!Riddler with a Zatanna-esque s/o hcs:
now, arkhamverse Eddie isn't one to be easily swayed. he is a man of science and doesn't believe a thing like magic exists. he's seen some weird shit in his life, but all of it can be explained. worst case, it's simply alien or from another universe, but can still be researched and at least reasoned by science. and what you've shown him is completely off the rails
at first, he will pester you. surely, this must be some advanced trick? you are a skilled illusionist darling, but now it's time to explain those tricks. once you prove it to him that you quite literally possess magical abilities, he's speechless for a moment. it's really hard for him to wrap his head around it. it's like you suddenly proved to him god existed - it was impossible!
but quite soon, he warms up to your powers and learns to appreciate them. curse anyone who wrongs him, you say... that might give him some ideas. there's a few people that wronged him, sure. although it still irks him a little that there's something in the world he can't understand. he even has half the mind to have you help out with his plans, but doesn't follow through with it because even he finds it unfair to fight against something that has no right to exist. Batman may be a cheater but he's no miracle-maker. if he's to take part in challenges, at least they have to be possible for a human to solve.
Young Justice!Riddler with a Zatanna-esque s/o hcs:
this Eddie has been faced with so much shit in his life, and even more shit during his "stay" at Belle Reve that he isn't even that surprised. he's come in contact with literal Zatanna as well as her father, so he knows that there's something out there he can't quite understand. metahumans and all that are almost explainable, but magic is just beyond human comprehension. and he's okay with that. honestly, he's even a little excited to learn about what you can do
he's very eager to know your abilities and boundaries, what's possible and impossible for you. your horizons are stretch way further than any normal humans and he's immensly curious as to what can you achieve with your powers. and they're really useful, too! it's like you can do anything, and he adores you for it
and learning that you're ready to literally curse the shit out of anyone that even dares to look at him the wrong way really strengthens his trust in you. you make him so confident and smug all the time. whenever someone insults him, he just smirks because he knows you're gonna be on their asses in a matter of seconds. you also make him feel... safe. like you'll always protect him, no matter what
Zero Year!Riddler with a Zatanna-esque s/o hcs:
similarly to arkhamverse, this Ed doesn't quite believe magic exists. everything can be explained and technologically faked, he'd know. he entertained the concept of magic, and was fond of the idea of it in books or games ever since he was a child. but it was merely a liking, and nothing can beat his admiration for what's real and what can be achieved if one just puts their mind into it. or, if he just puts his mind into it. he'd dare to call himself a magician as well, if he didn't feel it insulting to insinuate that his achievements were the result of anything other than his brilliant mind and skilled hands
and then you just pop up and give him a little whiplash. what kind of technology are you using? how advanced can it be to do shit like this? you'll have to be really persuasive to make him believe it's not technology, because at first, he'll think it's a joke and continue to pester you. and as much as the concept is hard to grasp at first for him, soon he just lets the shock die down and accepts it. he doesn't care enough to try and research it. there's so much weird shit happening in the world, magic is probably the least shocking thing he'd encounter
but it's not that he doesn't care about you or your powers. it might seem like it, but you're fascinating. he can't just shrug you off. and he has to admit, the fact that you're ready to hunt down his childhood bullies and curse them into oblivion really gets him hot and bothered under the collar. also, be ready for ridiculous petnames and terrible jokes. also, be ready for him to ask you if you can do this or that based on the games he played, especially dnd. he's a nerd, and he wants to know what you "specialize" in, what's your area of expertise, what exactly can you do
