Egghead

A flamboyant, egg-obsessed criminal mastermind rooted in the campy Batman '66 universe, Egghead considers himself the world's smartest villain and delights in bedeviling Batman with elaborate, pun-filled schemes. His Modern Age comics debut adapted the classic TV antagonist for all-ages adventure stories.

Few villains crack wise quite like Egghead, the delightfully oversized-ego antagonist who made his Modern Age comics debut in Batman: The Brave and the Bold #16 (2010), courtesy of creators Landry Q. Walker and Eric Jones. Rooted firmly in the campy, colorful spirit of the classic Batman '66 universe, he's gone on to bedevil the Caped Crusader across titles like Batman '66 Meets the Man from U.N.C.L.E. and even Batman '66 Meets the Legion of Super-Heroes, sharing pages with Batman, Robin, and Barbara Gordon in gloriously retro fashion. With 15 catalog appearances spanning nearly a decade, he's a niche but beloved fixture of DC's nostalgic corner — proof that sometimes the most egg-straordinary characters are the ones played perfectly tongue-in-cheek.
