Origins:
 
Victor Goodman was an Egyptologist, working for the Gotham Museum of Antiquities, who was known for his radical theory that King Tut was murdered for his belief in Aten (the Egyptian disc of the Sun). Goodman was incensed that the trustee’s of the museum would not bring a King Tut exhibit to Gotham because of its high crime rate and the fact that the Riddler had robbed the museum numerous times. He was removed from a meeting by the head of the Museum’s trustee’s and in the ensuing struggle he received a head injury. Victor was then fired by the museum.
Goodman became unhinged by this incident believing himself to be the reincarnation of the Pharaoh King Tut, who would bring Aten’s light to purge Gotham’s darkness. As Tut he set out to have his revenge on the trustee’s, the Riddler and the embodiment of Gotham’s darkness the Batman.
