- We've been meaning to invite you over for tea...and a good, ol'-fashioned pummeling. Unfortunately, we're all out of tea.

Professor Pyg is a self-styled Eco terrorist and enemy of Batman.
History
Professor Pyg and his partner, Mr. Toad, showed up in Gotham with the intent to hunt down and eliminate the main investors in a land deal that had destroyed a wetlands animal preserve. The pair began their hunt by chasing down and tranquilizing Simon Stagg, head of Stagg Industries. Flushed with victory, the pair posted a video clip online for all to see, where Pyg taunted Stagg, and his other potential victims, with a modified version of the classic nursery rhyme "Little Jack Horner", itself based on a land deal gone bad.
