Played by Vincent Price, the character was identifiable by his pale bald head and white and yellow suit. He believes himself to be "the world's smartest criminal", and his crimes usually have an egg motif to them; he also includes egg-related puns in his speech and uses various egg-themed weapons. Additionally, Egghead used deductive reasoning to deduce Batman's secret identity. Background Similarly to King Tut, Shame, the Siren, Chandell, the Bookworm, and Louie the Lilac, Egghead was created specifically for the 1960s Batman TV series. Much like Harley Quinn would decades later after initially being introduced in Batman: The Animated Series, Egghead would go on to be introduced in the comics. There had been several minor characters known as Egghead, but they were bald secondary gangsters that had little to do with the TV series character. The first, spelled Egg-Head, was an associate, along with bespectacled Fish-Eyes, of jewel thief Michael Baffle in Detective Comics #63 (May 1942). Another Egghead was in Mike Optik's gang in "Dick Grayson, Telegraph Boy!" in Batman #22 (April-May 1944). He was not very intelligent, and Professor Hendricks tricked him into thinking he was on a rocket in outer space to get him to reveal the location of Optik's hideout. Marvel Comics' Egghead debuted in December 1962's Tales to Astonish #38.
