User blog:G-Monster/Pure Evil Proposal: Professor Pyg (Gotham)

Oh hey got a candidate from the tv show Gotham so lets talk about it

What's The Work?

Gotham is a tv show that aired on FOX. It serves as a prequel origins story for Bruce Wayne, James Gordon, and many of the Batman's future rogues gallery among them includes my candidate Professor Pyg!

Who Is He? What Has He Done?

Professor Pyg AKA Lazlo Valentine serves as one of the main antagonists of the first half of Season 4.

Introduced as a sadistic cop killer Pyg grabbed the interests of Jim Gordon and the GCPD in general when Jim see one of the many cops that Pyg butchered and killed while placing a pig’s head on top of the dead cop. He does this to two more cop which angers Jim more. He then kidnaps another cop to lure Jim and Harvey to a trap and when they find said cop and remove the pig’s head, it turns out that it was attached to a grenade that was inside the cop’s stomach which causes the cop to explode and die and nearly killing Jim and Harvey.

Working with the Penguin and his mob to bring the Pyg to justice, Pyg lure the GCPD and Penguin’s men to a trap at the old courthouse activating a gatling that kills dozens or more so people. He then contacts Jim revealing himself to be the injured cop Jim rescued, telling him that this is merely the beginning, while also killing Ambulance driver.

Pyg later hatches another plan that involves killing six homeless people turn their corpses into meat pie and forces the rich acolytes of Gotham to eat them while he threatens to kill the mute child that the Penguin had befriended. As the aristocrat are eating the people pies that Pyg has cooked. Jim shows up rescues the rich people and arrests Pyg.

After being sent to Arkham Asylum, Pyg murders an inmate with a broken record for annoying Pyg before going back to listening to his music. He later gets interrogate by Jim before escaping Arkham Asylum, while also murdering several Asylum guards.

He later appears assassinating Carmine Falcone, which was later revealed to have done so on Sofia Falcone’s behest. Not only that but its also revealed that he actually an infamous hitman who copies the MO of various serial killers as his signature. Sofia then shoots Pyg after she had no use of him and forces Jim to take credit for killing Pyg which the latter of which does?

Freudian Excuse? Redeeming Qualities?

All thats known about Lazlo is that he was a hitmen/serial killer who operated in the south of America ten years prior to the series, copying multiple M.O. of other serial killer. He was eventually captured, he quickly escaped and went missing, thus, the case was dropped. Within the next decade, he went under a major facial change with titanium plates and plastic surgery, therefore concealing his identity. That’s it.

As for redeeming qualities he claim to want to end Gotham’s corrupt system, hence many of his victims were corrupt cops. However that proves to be utterly false, when his true nature comes out along with the southern accent and he really couldn’t care less about cleaning Gotham’s corruption and is not even from Gotham. He’s simply a sadistic hitman/serial killer who kill just for the hell of it, and probably just took the MO of the original Professor Pyg.

Also his loyalties to Sofia just stem from the fact that he was paid a lot of money from Sofia. He doesn’t really care Sofia so long as he gets his paycheck and gets to kill a lot of people.

So none on both counts I believe.

Heinousness

Yeah I know Gotham has a really high heinous standard, but with the limited resources Lazlo has I think he goes all out. His body count is in the dozens in not more so, almost every victim dying in various brutal and slow fashions and has pretty much more even more people long before coming to Gotham.

While Sofia may have hired Lazlo to come to Gotham and kill Carmine, its Lazlo own choice to have a high body count subjecting his victims to die in various brutal manners and is loving every second of it.

So yeah I think he is heinous enough

Final Verdict

I’m leaving that decision to you guys!
