Talk:Hugo Strange

First recurring villain?

Doctor Death preceded Hugo Strange, appearing in Detective Comics#29 and #30. So he should get credit for the first recurring villain in the series.

It's debatable. Doctor Death was the first villain to appear in more than a single issue. The Monk was the second, also preceding Hugo Strange. However, in both cases they were essentially just two-issue storylines. Hugo Strange is the first villain to recur in a second storyline.

Varies

This article varies in quality, going from too detailed, too extraneous, to just right, to skipping over important details (the part about him being impaled should be elaborated on). It just varies way too much for me to work with, especially since I am not a hundred percent familar.

Also, if anyone is interested in adding it, Strange is the focus of one of the 'Batman Black and White Volume 3' stories, where he gets ticked off over a Batman thank you-memorial. Lots42 09:44, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:HugoStrange.JPG

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Losing tenure?

The sentence "Strange became professor of Psychiatry at Gotham State University, but had his tenure suspended due to his increasingly bizarre theories in genetic engineering" jumped out at me as odd; is that what the story actually says? It wouldn't be the weirdest thing I'd read about comic-book academia, but in the real world you can't lose tenure (or have it "suspended", whatever that means) just for having weird views; that would defeat the purpose of tenure. A tenured professor who didn't show up for classes or was convicted (not merely suspected) of a crime would probably lose his job, but a tenured professor could not be disciplined for the content of his teaching or research; that's what "tenure" means. Could someone make sure there isn't more to the story? 99.16.198.149 (talk) 08:29, 31 August 2009 (UTC) (Also, a psychologist having anything to say about genetic engineering would be weird, but still not cause for dismissal.)

Secret Society of Super-Villains

This article mentions him as being a member of the Society, but I read the storyline where this supposedly takes place... the one referenced on this page... and there's absolutely no mention of anything involving the Society. He's the leader of a small ragtag unnamed group of super-criminals, who are active in Gotham for three issues, but it seems to just be a random temporary alliance. I'm deleting it unless someone wants to argue.

Dr Steel

Did the musician "Dr Steel" have any influence by Hugo Strange's character? He does resemble the artwork. --69.249.243.43 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 07:31, 5 August 2011 (UTC).
