Maxie Zeus
How can anyone NOT love weird third tier Batman Villains? They’re so great! Sooooooooo Great! Maxie Zeus is one of those.
He was a history teacher before his wife left him. He then had a break down, went insane and became a crime boss who also thought he literally was the human incarnation of the god Zeus. Weird, same thing happened to my AP U.S. Government teacher.
Maxie is pretty much always thought of as a lesser villain, which leaves him dangerously underestimated by most of Gotham’s criminal justice system. The dude once made contact with the REAL Ares, for godsakes, and it took Batman and Wonder Woman to put the duo back in their place. And yet, the son of a gun still keeps winding up in Blackgate. PUT HIM IN ARKHAM. He is insane and competent at crime. It’s where he belongs.
He’s also in a pretty great Batman: The Animated Series episode. So he’s got that going for him.
