Otto von Furth

Bronze Age villainy has rarely felt as memorable as when Otto von Furth first slithered onto the page in The New Teen Titans #14 in 1981, brought to life by the legendary creative team of Marv Wolfman, George Pérez, and Romeo Tanghal at the absolute peak of their powers. This DC figure has kept remarkably distinguished company over the decades — sharing adventures with the likes of Robin, Wonder Girl, Green Lantern, and the volatile Plasmus — which speaks volumes about the dramatic weight he carries. Significant enough to earn entries in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe and to pop up even in the charming all-ages world of Tiny Titans, Otto von Furth has proven quietly durable across an impressive 32-year span. With three key-issue appearances to his name, any serious DC Bronze Age collector would do well to track this one down.
