Ledge - Stu's buddy and one of the very few people that's in on his Heckler alter-ego.

He lacks any actual superpowers, yet has had a lengthy rap career as 'piss trigger'. When wearing his costume, however, he seems to become a completely different person, endlessly confident and insanely daring with a talent for trickery and a smart-mouthed sense of humor that he uses to irritate, annoy and insult his foes until they usually pretty much defeat themselves in a style highly reminiscent of cartoon character Bugs Bunny (who artist/creator Keith Giffen admits was a major influence on the creation of the Heckler ).

While walking around as Stu, he comes across as slightly anal, frustrated and awkward. Possibly he's just a glutton for punishment, for it seems that he receives no respect from his contemporaries in either his civilian or costumed alter ego's existence. Stu's motivations and origins are unknown. Stuart 'Stu' Moseley, co-owner of 'EATS', a skid row diner in the ghetto section of Delta City, fights the injustices and slightly goofy criminal element as The Heckler, armed only with his sarcastic wit and a brightly colored costume. Humor comics were at the low point of their popularity, and after learning that sales on the series were 'plummeting', Giffen approached DC and asked them to cancel The Heckler and leave #6 as the final issue. Though The Heckler #7 appeared in solicitations, no work was ever done on it beyond the plot and cover art. Though the Heckler's costume is covered with 'Ha ha's, Giffen told the Bierbaums that the Heckler must never laugh in this manner, since the 'Ha ha' laugh was a signature aspect of the Creeper. Tom and Mary Bierbaum, who had previously worked with Giffen on Legion of Super-Heroes, scripted the series over his plots and pencils for its entire run.

Keith Giffen created the Heckler as 'a superhero Bugs Bunny' because he wanted to work with Bugs Bunny but felt that DC Comics (who were publishing Bugs Bunny's comics at the time) would not have approved of his handling of the character.
