Chuck Lane was a rookie cop who felt he could do more good than by just being a cop alone. He learned his ancestor was a jester in a medieval court and used his ancestry to base the costumed identity of Jester. As the Jester, Lane became a comical crime fighter making a laughing-stock out of his enemies. The Jester was known to be unpredictable and would use his eerie laugh and jingling bells to intimidate criminals. Chuck wore his jester costume underneath his cop uniform. Villains he fought include Lady Satan.
