After going over the information given, I feel the Joker will take this. The first thing I'm considering is the Joker's experiance against super-human enemies, while the Team Baskerville has some impressive abiltys at there disposile, there not in the same league as some of the oppoents The Joker has faced in the past, so while they will be better off than "normal" people. the Joker, I beleive will be able to handel these powers with realtive ease. The second thing I'm considering is the Joker's mentality. The fact he is insane, or "super-sane" meams he thinks and operates in ways that are not preditable, at least not in the same respect of a sane person would be. This plays into another aspect that gives him an advantage, and that's his total disregard for others and will readily use civilians as pawns achieve his goal, and from what I understand of Team Baskerville, one of the main things they try to do is minimize civilain casuiltys, the Joker can exploit that very easily given his disregard for others.

Then there is the Joker's arsenal. I don't nessecaily think it's more affective in terms if pure killing power, but a number of his weapon appear to be harmless at first glance. This gives hin a surprise factor that could kill an unaware oppoent. Then finally there is what I proably consider the Joker's most lethal weapon, his Joker Venom. It's pretty much a guaranteed to take someone out of the fight, even if it doesn't kill (which I highly doubt it wouldn't, as far as I know it kills almost anyone) them the effect will render them incapble of fighting, givening the Joker the chance either finish them off or escape. This lethal gas combined with his own immunity to it give him alot of option on how to use it, in a confined space a gas would kill eveyone on ther but him self.

Ultimatly I feel the Joker takes this because he is unprediable, a Genius in planning an munipulation and simply, will expolit evey advantage he can get. Team Baskerville has to try an save civillians, and the Joker will readily use this to take them out, making them go where he wants them to and bring them into traps and situation he's planned out.
