Ghoul was one of the members of the third group of Jokerz. He was heavily into techno-goth music and has adapted the horror look into his costume. Ghoul was never without his plastic Halloween pumpkin which he kept filled with a number of monster-inspired weapons and tricks.
History
Stewart Winthrop was born into a wealthy family and ran away from them to join the Jokerz for kicks. He joined a sub-gang of the Jokerz under the control of the Joker. He served as the group's techie, manning the computers and technical equipment. He was usually paired up with Woof before being defeated by Batman II and arrested by the police.
Alternate Future
In the alternate future created by Chronos, he was upgraded to have a robotic buzz saw implated in place of his arm, and was shown to be able to retract that and swap between his arm and the buzz saw. Ghoul, along with rest of Joker's Jokerz, were the "security" of Chronos and contracted to kill the Justice League (Batman, Green Lantern, and Wonder Woman) but was interupted by the JLU (Batman II, Static, and Warhawk). Later, Ghoul was interrogated by the original Batman and an elderly Bruce Wayne.
Background Information
Ghoul is a very loose tribute to original Batman villain Scarecrow. Interestingly, while most of the original Batman villains who are referred to in Batman Beyond are referenced to the way (or somewhat similar) they appeared in the revamp, Ghoul's costume actually bears more resemblance to how the Scarecrow appeared before the revamp.
Much like his Kevin Spacey impression that formed the basis of Deadshot's voice performance, Michael Rosenbaum based the voice of Ghoul on actor Christopher Walken. Both Spacey and Walken have played a DC Comics villain, with Spacey portraying Lex Luthor in Superman Returns and Walken portraying Max Shreck in Batman Returns.
Abilities & Equipment
Ghoul is not much of a physical fighter, virtually always being the easiest member of the gang Batman II has beaten (usually with one punch). He does seem to have a vast knowledge of technology, as he was able to locate equipment for Joker's plan. With his upgrades in an alternate future, he was considerably much more of a threat although he was still brought down easily when confronted by the Justice League.
