Doctor Bedlam is a DC Comics supervillain created by Jack Kirby as part of his Fourth World comic series of the 1970s. He is part of Darkseid's Elite on the planet Apokolips.[1]

His name comes from the Bethlem Royal Hospital insane asylum, and is a reference to his madness-inducing "paranoid pill".

Publication history

Doctor Bedlam first appeared in Mister Miracle #3 (July–August 1971) and was created by Jack Kirby.[2]

Fictional character biography

Doctor Bedlam's early life is unknown, save that he once possessed a physical body that was transformed into psychic energy. His primary foe is Mister Miracle, whom he has never defeated.[2]

Following the destruction of Apokolips and New Genesis, Bedlam relocates to Earth, where he attracts the second Mister Miracle's attention by becoming an escape artist under the name Baron Bedlam.

Bedlam is featured in the Underworld Unleashed tie-in one-shot Apokolips - Dark Uprising, where Granny Goodness attempts to kill him.

Doctor Bedlam makes a minor appearance in Death of the New Gods, where Infinity-Man damages one of his Animates while hunting the New Gods.[2]

In The New 52, Doctor Bedlam joins Steppenwolf's Hunger Dogs.[3]

Powers and abilities

Doctor Bedlam exists as a being of psychic energy and commands powerful constructs that he can project into. Furthermore, he is a skilled scientist who specializes in inducing terror via mental manipulation.
