The '''Clock King''' is the name of three <!--Do not add "fictional" as it is tautological; supervillains (and characters in general) are by definition implied to be fictionalized to some extent.-->[supervillains](/source/supervillains) appearing in [American comic books](/source/American_comic_books) published by [DC Comics](/source/DC_Comics). The first Clock King debuted in ''[World's Finest Comics](/source/World's_Finest_Comics)'' #111 (August 1960), and was created by [France Herron](/source/France_Herron) and [Lee Elias](/source/Lee_Elias).<ref name=Guide>{{cite book |last1=Cowsill |first1=Alan |last2=Irvine |first2=Alex |last3=Korte |first3=Steve |last4=Manning |first4=Matt |last5=Wiacek |first5=Win |last6=Wilson |first6=Sven |title=The DC Comics Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Characters of the DC Universe |date=2016 |publisher=DK Publishing |isbn=978-1-4654-5357-0 |page=70}}</ref>

The Clock Kings, primarily William Tockman, have appeared in several media adaptations, such as ''[Batman](/source/Batman_(TV_series))'' (1966), portrayed by [Walter Slezak](/source/Walter_Slezak); and [Arrowverse](/source/Arrowverse) TV series, portrayed by [Robert Knepper](/source/Robert_Knepper).

==Publication history==
The first Clock King was originally an enemy of [Green Arrow](/source/Green_Arrow). He has no superpowers or abilities. He wears a clock mask, a cape, and a blue suit with clock drawings on it.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Greenberger |first1=Robert |title=The Essential Batman Encyclopedia |date=2008 |publisher=Del Rey |isbn=9780345501066 |page=92}}</ref>

Clock King is a master planner and sometimes uses [clock](/source/clock)-themed gadgetry. The Clock King became better known more recently by his appearances in ''[Justice League International](/source/Justice_League_International)'' and ''[Suicide Squad](/source/Suicide_Squad)''.

==Fictional character biography==
===William Tockman===
Born '''William Tockman''', the Clock King spends his early years taking care of his invalid sister. During one day, he finds out from a doctor's visit that he himself only has six months to live. Despairing for his sister's future, he watches the timing of a local bank's vault to rob it, hoping the money would provide for his sister after he was gone. His caper would have gone successfully, had he not tripped a silent alarm and been caught by Green Arrow.<ref name="dc-ency">{{Cite book | last = Wallace | first = Dan | contribution = Clock King | editor-last = Dougall | editor-first = Alastair | title = The DC Comics Encyclopedia | page = 84 | publisher = [Dorling Kindersley](/source/Dorling_Kindersley) | place = New York | year = 2008 | isbn = 978-0-7566-4119-1 | oclc = 213309017}}</ref>

While he is incarcerated, his sister dies alone. In further and hideous irony, Tockman discovers that really he is not terminally ill: his doctor had accidentally switched his papers with those of another patient. Infuriated, he escapes, later futilely attempting revenge on both Green Arrow and the incompetent doctor.<ref>{{cite book |last =Rovin |first =Jeff |title =The Encyclopedia of Super-Villains |publisher =Facts on File |date =1987 |location =New York |isbn = 0-8160-1356-X |page=60|author-link=Jeff Rovin|title-link=The Encyclopedia of Super-Villains}}</ref>

With several other villains, the Clock King becomes a member of the [Injustice League](/source/Injustice_League), a team of out-of-luck supervillains who, when banding together, become even less successful than they have been in their individual careers.<ref>''Justice League International'' #23 (January 1989)</ref> Trying to reform, the members later become the core of the equally laughable hero team Justice League Antarctica.<ref>''Justice League America'' Annual #4 (October 1990)</ref> Like his compatriots, Clock King becomes an ardent supporter of [Maxwell Lord](/source/Maxwell_Lord), partly due to the fact he is the only one willing to hire them. His group even guards Lord when he is incapacitated by a bullet wound.<ref>''Justice League America'' #53 (August 1991)</ref> The villains again later reunite as the Injustice League as henchmen of [Sonar](/source/Sonar_(comics)).<ref>''Justice League Europe'' #49&ndash;50 (April&ndash;May 1993)</ref>

Later, the Clock King leads his own separate team of villains in a mission. They consist of Radiant, Sharpe, Acidia, and Crackle. They are not as well-organized as even the Injustice League. For example, Crackle still lives with his mother and they have to take the bus to a fight at a [Metropolis](/source/Metropolis_(comics)) toy store. The villains end up fighting one of the [Teen Titans](/source/Teen_Titans), [Booster Gold](/source/Booster_Gold), [Firehawk](/source/Firehawk_(comics)), and [Cameron Chase](/source/Chase_(comics)). An unclear super-effect from Chase ultimately neutralizes Clock King's team and they are all imprisoned. Clock King himself escapes on another bus.<ref>''Chase'' #4 (May 1998)</ref>

Still later, Clock King and his Injustice League friends are recruited into the new [Suicide Squad](/source/Suicide_Squad). They are sent to a remote research facility where a genetic monstrosity is holding its creator hostage. Its main defenses are spawned "children" that could explode. During the mission, most of the team are seemingly killed, including Clock King, who is shot repeatedly in a retreat attempt. He is seen still alive after his brutal wounds but, in the end, [Major Disaster](/source/Major_Disaster) believes he is the only one who survives. It turns out [Cluemaster](/source/Cluemaster), shot in a similar manner as Clock King, survives, albeit with drastic scarring.<ref>''Suicide Squad'' (vol. 2) #1 (November 2001)</ref><ref name="dc-ency"/> [Multi-Man](/source/Multi-Man) also survives due to his ability to be reborn with new powers after dying.

===Tem===
A new Clock King appears in ''[Teen Titans](/source/Teen_Titans)'' #56 as the head of a team of villains named the [Terror Titans](/source/Terror_Titans). In an interview with ''Teen Titans'' writer Sean McKeever, he described this Clock King as "... Very smart. He sees things differently than others".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=144154 |title=Sean Mckeever On The Terror Titans - Newsarama |publisher=[Newsarama](/source/Newsarama) |date=January 23, 2008 |access-date=December 25, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110211183237/http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=144154 |archive-date=February 11, 2011}}</ref> His costume is similar to the suit worn by the Clock King seen in ''[Batman: The Animated Series](/source/Batman%3A_The_Animated_Series)'', although lacking a hat and having clock faces on his tie. Also evocative of ''the Animated Series'', Disruptor refers to him as "'''Tem'''" before being killed; after his group defeats and captures [Kid Devil](/source/Kid_Devil),<ref>''Teen Titans'' (vol. 3) #56 (April 2008)</ref> Clock King conditions the hero to be sold as a fighter to a group called the [Dark Side Club](/source/Dark_Side_Club).<ref>''Teen Titans'' (vol. 3) #58 (June 2008)</ref><ref name=tt59>''Teen Titans'' (vol. 3) #59 (July 2008)</ref> Clock King then brings the Titans to his base of operations, a dimension outside of time.<ref name=tt59 /> After besting Robin, Clock King is stymied by [Ravager](/source/Rose_Wilson), who possesses similar precognitive abilities.<ref name=tt60>''Teen Titans'' (vol. 3) #60 (August 2008)</ref> He offers Ravager a chance to join him, but she refuses. Clock King then removes the Titans from his base and decides to move on to new plans. Ravager ultimately reconsiders his earlier offer.<ref name=tt59 /> In the ''Terror Titans'' miniseries, Clock King takes over the Dark Side Club, and uses it to brainwash young [metahuman](/source/metahuman)s, turning them into his "Martyr Militia". He sends the Militia to attack [Los Angeles](/source/Los_Angeles), for no reason other than to amuse him.<ref>''Terror Titans'' #5 (April 2009)</ref> Clock King's plans are eventually undone by [Miss Martian](/source/Miss_Martian), who was posing as one of the captured metahumans, and Ravager, who attacks and defeats him, forcing him to flee his base of operations.<ref>''Terror Titans'' #6 (May 2009)</ref>

===The New 52===
In [The New 52](/source/The_New_52) continuity reboot, three versions of Clock King appear:
* '''Billy Tockman''' is an African-American crime boss based in Seattle. Tockman owns a nightclub called the Midnight Lounge, and vintage clock repair shop called the Clock King, which he uses as a front for his operations.<ref>''Green Arrow'' (vol. 5) #22 (September 2013)</ref> While Green Arrow is off dealing with the [Outsiders](/source/Outsiders_(comics)), Naomi Singh and Henry Fyff talk Tockman into taking down [Richard Dragon](/source/Richard_Dragon), to which he agrees. When they meet to take down Dragon, Tockman betrays them, claiming Dragon made a better offer. When Green Arrow returns and faces Dragon, he holds Naomi and Fyff at gunpoint on Dragon's orders and ends up shooting Fyff, then promptly getting beat up and knocked out by [Emiko Queen](/source/Emiko_Queen).
* Another Clock King, wearing the original Clock King costume, battles the newest incarnation of the [Birds of Prey](/source/Birds_of_Prey_(team)) amped up on Venom.<ref>''Batman: The Dark Knight'' (vol. 2) #2 (October 2011)</ref>
* Another, bearing an appearance similar to his ''Batman: The Animated Series'' counterpart, tries to rob a store alongside his roommate [Sportsmaster](/source/Sportsmaster), who calls him '''Bill'''. He is stopped by [Harley Quinn](/source/Harley_Quinn) and [Power Girl](/source/Power_Girl), but not before teleporting them into another dimension. He is shown to have the ability to rewind time.<ref>''Harley Quinn'' (vol. 2) #11–13. (December 2014)</ref>

===DC Rebirth===
In the 2016 relaunch [DC Rebirth](/source/DC_Rebirth), two versions of Clock King appear:
* An unidentified Clock King claims to be a temporal anomaly and feeds on the life force of others to maintain his youth, which led to him preying on African citizens. He is sheltered within the African nation of Buredunia under dictator Matthew Bland. [Deathstroke](/source/Deathstroke) is assigned to kill Clock King, but ultimately spares his life.<ref>''Deathstroke'' (vol. 4) #1 (October 2016)</ref>
* Billy Tockman is depicted as a former engineer and drug dealer who sports a tattoo of a clock and arrow on the side of his head. He wires targets to clocks that can kill the wearer.<ref>''Nightwing'' (vol. 3) #24–25 (December 2013 - January 2014)</ref>

==Powers and abilities==
* The original Clock King has no [metahuman](/source/metahuman) powers or abilities, although he is athletic and extraordinarily smart. He extensively uses clock and time -related gimmicks to devastating effect.
* The second Clock King is able to see several seconds into the future, allowing him to anticipate an opponent's every move.<ref name=tt59 /> He is also a technological genius, creating devices such as teleporters, communications jamming equipment, and even an anti-gravity platform, all modelled after timepieces.

==Other versions==
An unidentified alternate universe version of Clock King appears in "[Flashpoint](/source/Flashpoint_(comics))". This version is an inmate of the military Doom prison before breaking out alongside [Heat Wave](/source/Heat_Wave_(character)) and [Plastic Man](/source/Plastic_Man).<ref>''Flashpoint: Legion of Doom'' #2 (July 2011)</ref>

* An original incarnation of the Clock King named '''Temple Fugate''' (a play on the [Latin](/source/Latin) phrase "[tempus fugit](/source/tempus_fugit)") appears in series set in the [DC Animated Universe](/source/DC_Animated_Universe) (DCAU), voiced by [Alan Rachins](/source/Alan_Rachins).<ref name="btva">{{cite web |title=Clock King Voices (Batman) |url=https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/characters/Batman/Clock-King/ |access-date=June 6, 2024 |publisher=Behind The Voice Actors}} A green check mark indicates that a role has been confirmed using a screenshot (or collage of screenshots) of a title's list of voice actors and their respective characters found in its credits or other reliable sources of information.</ref> This version is obsessed with time and punctuality, even going so far as to pre-plan his every waking moment on a to-do list and break them down into precise blocks.
** Introduced in a self-titled episode of ''[Batman: The Animated Series](/source/Batman%3A_The_Animated_Series)'', Fugate served as the head of a [time and motion study](/source/time_and_motion_study) consulting company that was fined $20 million in court and was in the midst of his last appeal against the verdict. Future Gotham mayor [Hamilton Hill](/source/Hamilton_Hill_(character)) convinced Fugate to break his schedule and take his coffee break at a slightly later time, warning Fugate that the judge may consider his stress a sign of suspicious behavior. However, due to a string of bad luck, Fugate arrived late for his court appointment, lost his appeal, and went bankrupt as a result. He later learned that Hill's firm represented the plaintiff for the case and subsequently swore revenge on Hill for making him late. Seven years later, Fugate becomes the Clock King and dedicates his life to destroying Hill. After publicly shaming him, Fugate confronts Batman and falls to his apparent death before resurfacing in the episode "Time Out of Joint" to continue seeking revenge against Hill using a stolen device that allows him to manipulate time. Nevertheless, Batman and [Robin](/source/Dick_Grayson) foil his plans and Fugate is sent to [Arkham Asylum](/source/Arkham_Asylum).
** Fugate returns in the ''[Justice League Unlimited](/source/Justice_League_Unlimited)'' episode "Task Force X". [Project Cadmus](/source/Project_Cadmus) recruits him into the [eponymous group](/source/Suicide_Squad) to assist in a mission to steal the Annihilator automaton from the [Justice League](/source/Justice_League) by acting as radio support and coordinating the mission's timing.
