	In '']'', the Clock King is '''Temple Fugate''', who first appeared in the episode "]" and was portrayed by ]. Fugate was a stiff, ] efficiency expert, obsessed with punctuality, and appealing a $20 million judgment against his business. Hamilton Hill, a lawyer with the firm representing the other side, who took the same train to work as Fugate, suggested that Fugate deviate from his rigid schedule so as to appear more relaxed in court. Fugate took the advice, and had his coffee break at 3:15, instead of 3:00. However, as a result of this, and a string of accidents, Fugate missed his court appearance, lost his appeal, and was ruined.

			With several other villains, the Clock King becomes a member of the 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> The Injustice League is defeated time and again by the ], at least when they are not making laughingstocks of themselves. Trying to reform, the members later become the core of the equally laughable hero team Justice League Antarctica. This JLA includes G'Nort, who ends up saving the lives of the entire team.<ref>''Justice League America'' Annual #4 (October 1990)</ref> Like his compatriots, Clock King becomes an ardent supporter of ], 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 ].<ref>''Justice League Europe'' #49–50 (April–May 1993)</ref>
	Seven years later, he adopted a clock-based motif and embarked on a campaign of revenge against Hill, who had become mayor of ] in the meantime. Fugate's revenge would have culminated in murdering Hill at 3:15, by crushing him between the hands of a giant clock, had ] not interfered. Fugate was much less flamboyant than his comic-book incarnation or Batman's enemies in general. While he did base his crime around a general clock-theme, he did not use themed weapons and his "costume" was a simple business suit embellished only by a walking cane shaped like a clock hand and glasses with clock faces on the lenses. Nonetheless, his obsessive-compulsive attention to detail did allow him to be a formidable opponent using various time pieces and completely memorized schedules of various activities to his advantage. For instance, in his first confrontation with Batman, Fugate was able to suddenly backflip from the building top he was on to land on a passing train he knew would pass underneath at that exact moment to escape before the superhero could react in time to pursue him. He even was able to briefly spar competently against Batman, due to having memorized the timing of the crimefighter's moves from news footage of his previous fights. Unfortunately for Fugate, he accidentally jammed his clock cane between the gears of the clock tower and disappeared in the collapsing rubble of the clock tower, presumed killed.

			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 their fight. It takes place at a ] toy store. They end up fighting one of the many incarnations of the ], the heroes ] and ] and DEO agent ]. 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>
	Having miraculously survived, Fugate returned in the episode "]" (which was the name of a sculpture built by the TV series character), having acquired a device that allowed him to move at ultra-fast speeds, seemingly freezing time for everyone except himself. He resumed his revenge against Mayor Hill, but was foiled by Batman and ], who had acquired similar devices with which to fight him. This time, Fugate was arrested and taken to Arkham Asylum.

			Still later, Clock King and his Injustice League friends are transformed into the new ]. 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, ] believes he is the only one who survives. It turns out ], shot in a similar manner as Clock King, survives, albeit with drastic scarring.<ref>''Suicide Squad'' (vol. 2) #1</ref><ref name="dc-ency"/> ] also survives due to his ability to be reborn with new powers after dying.
	In a 2004 '']'' comic, Fugate rigged the election against Mayor Hill, and watched his "years of exile and humiliation" in ]. ] and Batman apprehended him.

			Clock King is not seen for a period of time after '']''. In an issue of '']'', one character decides to kill all the time-travelers, and mentions someone "ending up like ] and Clock Queen".
	Temple Fugate was later seen in the '']'' episode '']" where he served as a planner and tactician in the "]" who guided the team with strict clockwork effiency. Rachins reprised the role.

			===Tem===
	The Clock King's last appearence was a cameo in the last episode of that same season. In a scene ]'s parents are walking into a hospital, the Clock King, basses by and stops to check his pocket watch. He is holding the same valise the doctor uses to shot Terry's father the flu vaccine that ], the responsible of these events, reveals to be the nanotech solution that rewrites Warren's reproductive ] to match Bruce's.
			A new Clock King appears in '']'' #56 as the head of a team of villains named the ]. 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=Forum.newsarama.com \|date=2008-01-23 \|access-date=2010-12-25 \|url-status=dead \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110211183237/http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=144154 \|archive-date=2011-02-11}}</ref> His costume is similar to the suit worn by the Clock King seen in '']'', 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 ],<ref>''Teen Titans'' (vol. 3) #56 (April 2008)</ref> Clock King conditions the hero<ref>''Teen Titans'' (vol. 3) #58 (June 2008)</ref> to be sold as a fighter to a group called "The Dark Side Club".<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 ], 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 ], and uses it to brainwash young metahumans, turning them into his very own "Martyr Militia". He sends the Militia to attack ], for no reason other than to amuse him.<ref>''Terror Titans'' #5 (April 2009)</ref> Clock King's plans are eventually undone by ], 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''===
	==Trivia==
			In '']'', three iterations of the Clock King appeared:
	Temple Fugate's name is a play on the Latin phrase 'tempus fugit,' meaning 'time flies.' Interestingly, Fugate has never (at least in his animated appearances) referred to himself as the Clock King, a name coined by Batman; the closest he ever came to calling himself that was in this exchange:
			* '''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 ], Diggle, along with Naomi Singh and Henry Fyff, talk Tockman into taking down ], 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 ].
	:'''Batman:''' I'm here to clean your clock Fugate!
			* Another Clock King, wearing the original Clock King costume, battles the newest incarnation of the ] amped up on Venom.<ref>''Batman: The Dark Knight'' (vol. 2) #2 (October 2011)</ref>
	:'''Fugate:''' I don't think so Batman. You see, when it comes to clocks, I am King.
			* Another, bearing an appearance similar to his Animated Series look (but with a black and blue suit and black and yellow glasses), tries to rob a store alongside his roommate ], who calls him '''Bill'''. He is stopped by ] and ], 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''===
	==Bibliography==
			In the '']'' relaunch, two Clock Kings are active:
	{{main\|Bibliography of Clock King}}
			* A man who wears the classic Clock King costume, but with his face showing, this new version 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. His actions drew the attention of ], who was assigned by Bland to kill Clock King as revenge for his murders. However, Clock King managed to save his life by revealing that the warlord would kill Deathstroke after he had finished the job. He later kidnaps Bland. During the fight, Slade shoots him, revealing his powers to be special effects. Furthermore, Clock King revealed that as a time anomaly, he saw that as a result of ]'s ] led to the rebirth of Deathstroke's ally ]. With that information, Deathstroke spared Clock King's life.<ref>''Deathstroke: Rebirth'' #1 and ''Deathstroke'' (vol. 4) #1</ref>
			* Billy Tockman, here now a former engineer and drug dealer in a suit, sporting glasses inherited from his grandfather<ref>''Nightwing'' (vol. 3) #24–25</ref> and having a tattoo of a clock and arrow on the side of his head, he wired targets to clocks that can kill the wearer.<ref>''Green Arrow'' (vol. 7)</ref> This version would later face ]. He bragged that he would be able to predict every one of Batman's movements, but was defeated by a hiding ].<ref>''Batman'' (vol. 3) #14</ref> He was invited to a weapons deal by ] and ] on board a ship, which was stopped by ]. He is seen tinkering with his clocks as the ship sinks.<ref>''Nightwing'' (vol. 3) #22–28</ref>

			==Powers and abilities==
			* The original Clock King has no ] 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.

The Clock King is the name of three supervillains appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The first Clock King debuted in World's Finest Comics #111 (August 1960), and was created by France Herron and Lee Elias.

The Clock King, primarily William Tockman, have appeared in several media adaptations, such as Batman (1966), portrayed by Walter Slezak; and Arrowverse TV series, portrayed by Robert Knepper. Additionally, an original incarnation, Temple Fugate, appears in shows set in the DC Animated Universe, voiced by Alan Rachins.

Publication history

The first Clock King was originally an enemy of Green Arrow. He has no superpowers or abilities. He wears a clock mask, a cape, and a blue suit with clock drawings on it.

Clock King is a master planner and sometimes uses clock-themed gadgetry. The Clock King became better known more recently by his appearances in Justice League International and 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.

While he is incarcerated, his sister dies alone. In further and hideous irony, Tockman discovers that he really 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.

With several other villains, the Clock King becomes a member of the 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. The Injustice League is defeated time and again by the Justice League International, at least when they are not making laughingstocks of themselves. Trying to reform, the members later become the core of the equally laughable hero team Justice League Antarctica. This JLA includes G'Nort, who ends up saving the lives of the entire team. Like his compatriots, Clock King becomes an ardent supporter of 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. The villains again later reunite as the Injustice League as henchmen of Sonar.

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 their fight. It takes place at a Metropolis toy store. They end up fighting one of the many incarnations of the Teen Titans, the heroes Booster Gold and Firehawk and DEO agent Cameron Chase. An unclear super-effect from Chase ultimately neutralizes Clock King's team and they are all imprisoned. Clock King himself escapes on another bus.

Still later, Clock King and his Injustice League friends are transformed into the new 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 believes he is the only one who survives. It turns out Cluemaster, shot in a similar manner as Clock King, survives, albeit with drastic scarring. Multi-Man also survives due to his ability to be reborn with new powers after dying.

Clock King is not seen for a period of time after Infinite Crisis. In an issue of 52, one character decides to kill all the time-travelers, and mentions someone "ending up like Time Commander and Clock Queen".

Tem

A new Clock King appears in Teen Titans #56 as the head of a team of villains named the 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". His costume is similar to the suit worn by the Clock King seen in Batman: 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, Clock King conditions the hero to be sold as a fighter to a group called "The Dark Side Club". Clock King then brings the Titans to his base of operations, a dimension outside of time. After besting Robin, Clock King is stymied by Ravager, who possesses similar precognitive abilities. 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. In the Terror Titans miniseries, Clock King takes over the Dark Side Club, and uses it to brainwash young metahumans, turning them into his very own "Martyr Militia". He sends the Militia to attack Los Angeles, for no reason other than to amuse him. Clock King's plans are eventually undone by 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.

The New 52

In The New 52, three iterations of the Clock King appeared:

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. While Green Arrow is off dealing with the Outsiders, Diggle, along with Naomi Singh and Henry Fyff, talk Tockman into taking down 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.
Another Clock King, wearing the original Clock King costume, battles the newest incarnation of the Birds of Prey amped up on Venom.
Another, bearing an appearance similar to his Animated Series look (but with a black and blue suit and black and yellow glasses), tries to rob a store alongside his roommate Sportsmaster, who calls him Bill. He is stopped by Harley Quinn and Power Girl, but not before teleporting them into another dimension. He is shown to have the ability to rewind time.

DC Rebirth

In the DC Rebirth relaunch, two Clock Kings are active:

A man who wears the classic Clock King costume, but with his face showing, this new version 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. His actions drew the attention of Deathstroke, who was assigned by Bland to kill Clock King as revenge for his murders. However, Clock King managed to save his life by revealing that the warlord would kill Deathstroke after he had finished the job. He later kidnaps Bland. During the fight, Slade shoots him, revealing his powers to be special effects. Furthermore, Clock King revealed that as a time anomaly, he saw that as a result of Doctor Manhattan's manipulation of the timestream led to the rebirth of Deathstroke's ally Wintergreen. With that information, Deathstroke spared Clock King's life.
Billy Tockman, here now a former engineer and drug dealer in a suit, sporting glasses inherited from his grandfather and having a tattoo of a clock and arrow on the side of his head, he wired targets to clocks that can kill the wearer. This version would later face Batman. He bragged that he would be able to predict every one of Batman's movements, but was defeated by a hiding Catwoman. He was invited to a weapons deal by Tiger Shark and Blockbuster on board a ship, which was stopped by Nightwing. He is seen tinkering with his clocks as the ship sinks.

Powers and abilities

The original Clock King has no 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. 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

Flashpoint

In an alternate timeline depicted in Flashpoint, the Clock King is imprisoned in military Doom prison before breaking out alongside Heat Wave and Plastic Man.

This version wears a black cape and a top hat with a clock inside it. Furthermore, he wields weapons such as "Super Slick Watch Oil", "Knock Out Gas", and "Super Sonic Sound".
The William Tockman incarnation of the Clock King appears in TV series set in the Arrowverse, portrayed by Robert Knepper.
- Tockman first appears in the Arrow episode "Time of Death", in which he masterminds the theft of a hacking device that can be used to break into bank vaults and computer systems to raise money for his dying sister, Beverly's, medical treatment. He later hacks into Felicity Smoak's computer system and disables it, leading to her getting involved in the Arrow's efforts to capture him and personally defeating Tockman herself.

Animation

Temple Fugate / The Clock King as depicted in *Batman: The Animated Series*.

An original incarnation of the Clock King named Temple Fugate (a play on the Latin phrase "tempus fugit") appears in series set in the DC Animated Universe (DCAU), voiced by Alan Rachins. 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, Fugate served as the head of a 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 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 foil his plans and Fugate is sent to Arkham Asylum.
- Fugate returns in the Justice League Unlimited episode "Task Force X". Project Cadmus recruits him into the eponymous group to assist in a mission to steal the Annihilator automaton from the Justice League by acting as radio support and coordinating the mission's timing.
The William Tockman incarnation of the Clock King appears in Batman: The Brave and the Bold, voiced by Dee Bradley Baker. This version possesses clock-themed weaponry and gadgets, resembles the Batman (1966) incarnation, and employs two henchmen named Tick and Tock. Additionally, an unnamed, heroic, alternate universe variant of the Clock King makes a cameo appearance in the episode "Deep Cover for Batman!".
An unidentified Clock King appears in Harley Quinn, voiced by James Adomian. This version is openly gay and in a relationship with the Riddler, who he later gets engaged to.
