The Rotten Wheel was found wandering the streets of Gotham City, his face permanently smudged with a viscous green sludge.
Upon arrival at the hospital, the doctor examined the afflicted area and declared, "It's a severe case of ooze infection. The goo is spreading rapidly."
"I didn't know there was a disease called 'ooze,'" said the Rotten Wheel, wiping his mouth with a gloved hand. "But I guess it's time to get checked."
The medical staff applied a strange ointment and gave the Rotten Wheel a series of injections. After an hour, the goo had reduced in volume by 70%.
"It's clear," said the doctor, "that you've been through a rough day. But don't worry, we have treatments for these things."
As the Rotten Wheel left the clinic, he muttered, "I hope the goo doesn't come back. I hate being sick."
Meanwhile, the city police are on high alert for any suspicious activity. They believe the Rotten Wheel may be involved in some shady business.
