One of the most guaranteed ways to create a supervillain in the world of comics is to make a scientific experiment fail by some mad genius. I know what you are thinking! Aren't there lots of superheroes, too, born out of failed experiments? Ok! Let me rephrase the sentence. A lot of superpowers have been created as a consequence of failed experiments. Now it is up to them whether they choose to use the gained powers to appear as heroes or villains. Today, we are going to explore one such character born out of a failed experiment.
Isn't it obvious the character of someone whose name is opposite to Batman has to be opposite to Batman's character? We are talking about Man-bat, aka Dr. Robert Kirkland Langstrom, who originated as a supervillain, but later his character incarnated as a sympathetic villain or an antihero. Man-bat was first introduced in Detective Comics #400, released in June 1970, created by Frank Robbins and Neal Adams, while the editor was Julius Schwartz. Later, the character kept appearing in various series, media adaptations, including video games and television series. Man-bat even has been ranked as IGN's 16th best Batman villain in the year 2017.
