Dr. Hugo Strange

A calculating menace with deep roots in DC's rogues' gallery, this incarnation of Dr. Hugo Strange made his catalog debut in The Batman Strikes #26 in 2006, bringing the classic villain into the Modern Age with fresh menace courtesy of creators Bill Matheny and Christopher Jones. Over a publishing span stretching two decades, Strange has kept dangerous company — crossing paths with Bruce Wayne, Batman, Dick Grayson, Robin, and Poison Ivy across titles as varied as Batman '66 and Batman '66 Meets the Man from U.N.C.L.E., a range that speaks to his versatility as a threat. With 21 appearances and a presence across some genuinely fun and iconic series, he's a rewarding find for collectors who love a villain with both intellectual menace and serious staying power.
