[[WMG: Professor McElroy owes one of Tut's "Queens" child support.]]

to:

[[WMG: Professor McElroy [=McElroy=] owes one of Tut's "Queens" child support.]]



[[WMG: King Tut's constant factual errors are his persona's childish rebellion against Professor McElroy's adult expertise -- and this is also why King Tut leaves New Haven to travel to Gotham City each time.]]
* The Professor William McElroy / King Tut split is not the usual JekyllAndHyde good / evil divide but more of a CluelessBoss / PsychopathicManchild divide : Prof. McElroy is a reserved, very bookish North American expert on Egyptology and Yale professor and introvert who finds bewildering the anger of male students driven to protest and the crushes of female students, and in contrast, King Tut is loud, frequently makes wildly inaccurate claims that would likely horrify Prof. McElroy, flies from childish passion to childish passion without a moment's notice, and lusts after women but in a very childish fashion. In RealLife, nearly every scientific or scholarly expert has an inner nerd who loves to make playful nonsense in his or her field of expertise, and there is no reason Prof. McElroy would not be the same. King Tut doesn't even seem to fully understand the evil of his actions the way that The Joker or The Riddler do but simply operates off impulse in a way the very focused Prof. McElroy never would.
* This also explains why, the moment Professor McElroy becomes King Tut, he abandons Yale and New Haven -- even though there is no Batman in Connecticut to stop him -- and heads directly for Gotham City, a city replete with costumed criminals and with minions eager to work for them.
