[DCU] What sets the underworld kingpin known as "Penguin" apart from regular mob bosses like Falcone and Maroni?

Penguin occasionally uses his trick umbrellas (what those have to do with penguins, I don't know), but aside from that, his only real distinguishing feature is his physical deformity and his sweet Iceberg Lounge, which is not like the gimmicks employed by costumed supervillains such as the Scarecrow and the Riddler. Yet I frequently see him listed *amongst* them. So I ask you, what separates Penguin from a regular mob boss and makes him a **supervillain?**

You're more familiar with the more recent version, but older versions of the Penguin were more hands-on about their supervillainy. They committed bird-themed crimes (with trained attack birds!) and even engaged Batman in direct combat. 

For example, the Penguin in 1992's *Batman Returns* had an army of circus people and another army of weaponized penguins, while the Penguin in 2004's animated series *The Batman* had trained birds, kabuki-ninja henchmen, and martial arts skills nearly on par with Batman's.
