The Electrocutioner

The Electrocutioner is a street-level DC villain who uses electrocution-based methods to dispense his own brand of lethal justice, operating in Gotham's criminal underworld and clashing repeatedly with Batman-family heroes including Robin, Nightwing, and Batgirl.

Crackling onto the DC scene in 1986 through the pages of The Vigilante, The Electrocutioner is a Copper Age villain who has kept some seriously high-profile company over the decades — sharing pages with Batman, Robin, Batgirl, and other heavy hitters of the DC universe. Most at home in street-level Gotham-adjacent titles like Robin, Nightwing, and The Vigilante, this character has proven durable enough to spark trouble across 36 years of comics, with two collector-recognized key issues to their name. Not every villain gets to menace the extended Bat-family and stick around to tell the tale — The Electrocutioner is worth tracking down for fans who love the grittier, ground-floor corners of the DC universe.
