The Laughing Man
Summary
The Laughing Man demonstrates his status as an unparalleled hacker by executing real-time feats such as hijacking numerous video streams, completely commandeering a person’s cybernetic brain, or removing his own image from the visual feed of someone’s cybernetic eyes. His signature emblem is an animated depiction of a smiling figure wearing a cap, surrounded by text that quotes J.D. Salinger’s novel The Catcher in the Rye: "I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes."
