arley Quinn was first known as Harleen Quinzel before she boo’d-up with one of the most notorious bad guys ever. So, we all know Harley Quinn is crazy but here is what led to it. First she fell in love with one of DC Comics’ most infamous villains, Joker, who was a patient at a mental health facility that she worked in. One day she snuck him a gun after he requested it. The Joker then turned on her, tied her to a table and did electromagnetic therapy on her, which really messed with her brain. After that she began hearing voices in her head and joined Joker as his evil villain partner. 22 TRUE STAR JR.
Throughout the relationship, Harley Quinn was always trying to get the Joker to be happy with her, which changed in the movie, Birds of Prey. She broke up with the Joker and became her own boss. Like she said, “I’m the one they should be scared of! Not you, not Mr. J. Because I’m Harley freaking Quinn!”
