Doctor Pretorius

Doctor Pretorius is a villain from AC Comics who debuted as an antagonist in Captain Paragon #1, opposing the heroes of that independent superhero universe and later crossing paths with characters from the FemForce roster.

Doctor Pretorius made a sinister entrance into the Bronze Age in 1983's Captain Paragon #1, a creation of Mark Heike and Phil White for AC Comics — that scrappy independent publisher that carved out its own corner of the superhero universe. This villain has kept remarkably distinguished company over the years, sharing pages with the likes of Ms. Victory, Nightveil, and Tara across the FemForce and Captain Paragon series. With five catalogued appearances and two of them recognized as collector-significant key issues, Doctor Pretorius may be a compact presence in the AC universe, but a meaningful one — exactly the kind of deep-cut antagonist that makes hunting through Bronze Age independents such a rewarding adventure.
