6. King Tut
Well, let’s dig into a character who didn’t originally appear in comics at all, but popped up in another medium altogether.
The 1966 Batman TV Show is one of the most charming figures in the Batman canon, and it spawned a couple of little-known villains. King Tut is a great one of those.
William Omaha McElroy was a university professor who was caught in the crossfire of a student protest and got hit in the head with a rock. This caused him to believe that he was the reincarnation of King Tut, and that Gotham was the conquerable city of Thebes, because that is what rocks do.
The comic book version of the character was Victor Goodman, an Egyptologist and criminal who kills people and leaves Egypt-themed riddles. He was defeated by a team-up of Batman and The Riddler, who was mad about someone biting his style. Harsh.
