Professor Pyg

Professor Pyg is weird. And creepy. But then, Grant Morrison created him, so what do you expect?

He was one of the big new villains that Dick Grayson faced during his time as Batman after Bruce Wayne’s apparent death. Pyg likes to kidnap people and torture them, brainwash them, and surgically augment them to make them “perfect” in his eyes. He refers to them as his Dollotrons. They creep me right the hell out. Gaah. I don’t like thinking about these things.

Pyg’s name and concept is loosely tied to the play Pygmalion, more specifically the idea of manufacturing the perfect human. Lazlo Valentin, Pyg’s real name, also doesn’t seem to be an ACTUAL professor, so I feel led on. God, Dr. Phosphorus was a real doctor, get your game up, you fakey jerk. He has a son too, so somebody slept with this…thing. His son also tried to be a supervillain. Nowhere near as good as his dad, which is saying something.

Oh, and Pyg has a weird relationship with his mother, which just comes as the hugest of surprises.
