Oswald Cobblepot is hurled into feudal Japan alongside fellow Gotham City villains when Gorilla Grodd’s Quake Engine malfunctions. There, he carves out a domain as a warlord, commanding from a mechanized castle engineered to mimic glacial conditions for his preference. This stronghold boasts ice-themed chambers and sophisticated machinery, echoing his penguin motif and affinity for cold settings.

He engages in territorial clashes among Gotham's exiled rogues. Temporarily aligning under the Joker’s command, Cobblepot integrates his fortress into a coalition of castles, merging to create the towering combat automaton "Lord Joker" for a decisive assault against Batman and his allies. This fusion marks a tactical union of villain resources during the endgame conflict.

After Batman, the Bat-Family, and the Bat Clan of Hida overpower the united antagonists, Cobblepot is thrust back into modern Gotham City. James Gordon apprehends him, ending his role in the time-displacement incident.
