Clock King

How in the sweet heck was this dude not on my original list? I mean, this is a giant failure on my part, and I apologize for it.

William Tockman was a man obsessed with time. So obsessed with time that he learns how to time everything down to the second, making him a perfect criminal. A mastermind of theft. He served in the Justice League Antarctica and the Suicide Squad, in which he was shot in the back a bunch and seemingly died.

But the best version of the Clock King is very obviously the one from his self-titled Batman: The Animated Series episode. That Clock King is friggin’ rad as all hell. That Clock King’s origin was simple: He was Temple Fugit, the head of a time and motion study firm who had to stand trial. On the day of his trial, Hamilton Hill, who would eventually become mayor of Gotham City, told Fugit to take some time off to de-stress. He did, and the decision wound up making him late to his court date, which consequently ruined his life. So he made the obvious decision to find and murder Hill.

Logical, right?
