Of all the villains featured in theHarley QuinnTV show , Dr. Psychois well one of the most despicable , but in the comics , he is actually much worse . Part ofHarley Quinn ’s appeal is in taking lesser - known DC fibre like Kite Man and King Shark and rest new , comedic life into them . Dr. Psycho is no elision , having been a relatively vague Wonder Woman villain in the comics before the show twisted him into something much more memorable .
Dr. Psycho is one of Wonder Woman ’s oldest villains . He has a variety of powerful psychical ability , make him a rather dangerous foe to press against . InHarley Quinn , he is a hateful misogynist who eventually betrays Harley and her crew to friend with Darkseid and endeavor to take over Gotham .

InWonder Woman#788 by Michael W. Conrad , Becky Cloonan , and Emanuela Lupacchino , Dr. Psycho has a rather popular talk show in which he rant misogynous and xenophobic rhetoric while encourage a type of milk that he market as being for true men . He ask round his followers to protest Wonder Woman ’s cellular inclusion in the Justice League outside the Hall of Justice . Then , when Wonder Woman attempts to argue with the protesters , he detonates bomb calorimeter hidden in the crowd , unfeelingly harming his own supporters . He then blames the force and destruction on Wonder Woman , in an attempt to tarnish her good name even further . Wonder Woman has had issues with her imageprior to this , but this is well one of the more frustrative and dangerous PR problems she has had to front .
While he is a rampant misogynist inHarley Quinn , here Dr. Psycho uses his bigotry as a tool to fight against Wonder Woman and the Justice League . In addition , he shows an gross callosity towards the people who come after them , being uncoerced to let them die all to make Wonder Woman expect bad . The Dr. Psycho inHarley Quinnis usually the butt of a jocularity , but here he is rather intimidating , despite being a masculinity Milk River mascot .
There are some cardinal plot points that the show could potentially incorporate to make Dr. Psycho eviler whenHarley Quinn ’s third time of year airs afterwards this summertime . Part of the rationality why Dr. Psycho feels so much more evil in the comic strip is that his tale arc there is based on a tragic and disgustful truth . Despite the vile nature of what he says , he is still able-bodied to conglomerate a loyal following , just like many of the the great unwashed who say these sorts of things in real life . It will be interesting to see if the coming third time of year ofHarley Quinnwill makeDr . Psychoas despicable as he is in the comics by comprise the vile scene of his current comic opposite number .
