Description

Who) Professor PYG

Real name) Lazlo Valentin

First appearance) Batman #666 July 2007

Personal comment) Was going for a serial killer Ed Gein: The Butcher of Plainfield style creator. For all that don't know, Ed Gein was the person that inspired the horror movie creators like leather face, Norman Bates and buffalo bill.

Quotes) You've been a bad man Niko, but that's all over now. PYG will make you perfect.

Story)
Professor Pyg has an obsession with making people "perfect", which he accomplishes by transforming them into Dollotrons, a process that bonds false "doll" faces to their own, presumably permanently. Professor Pyg uses cordless drills, hammers and ice picks along with the "doll" faces in the process of converting his victims into Dollotrons. It appears the operation he performs involves brain surgery or a form of lobotomization and possible gender realignment. Behind his mask he is a middle-aged Caucasian male. He wears a simple pig mask and is often depicted wearing a makeshift surgical outfit.

Morrison describes the character as "one of the weirdest, most insane characters that's ever been in Batman. We hear a lot about Batman facing crazy villains but we tried to make this guy seem genuinely disturbed and disconnected." The character name is a shortened form of Pygmalion.
