The Rag Doll

The Rag Doll is a contortionist villain whose unnatural flexibility allows him to twist his body into grotesque poses, using that unsettling ability to commit crimes and confound DC's greatest heroes, including The Flash and the Justice League.

A contorted curiosity from the Bronze Age of DC Comics, The Rag Doll first twisted onto the scene in 1981's Justice League of America #195, brought to life by the legendary team of Gerry Conway and George Pérez. Over a remarkable three-decade span, this unsettling villain kept some of the most iconic company in the DC Universe — sharing pages with Superman, The Flash, Jay Garrick, and Green Lantern — before finding a memorable second act in the pages of Starman and even earning a profile in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe, the ultimate mark of DC notoriety. With a key issue to the character's name and appearances stretching all the way to 2012, The Rag Doll is a genuinely distinctive figure whose eerie presence has left a lasting impression on collectors who know their Bronze Age DC lore.
