Clock-king COMIC

Clock King comic

Diagnosed with a terminal medical condition with an estimated six months to live, William Tockman embarked on a crime spree to accumulate enough money to provide for his invalid sister's future under the assumption that a lengthy jail sentence was impossible given his prognosis. Believing that "time was running out" for him, Tockman adopted the clock, as his own symbol and used his extensive knowledge of clocks, watches and other timepieces in his criminal career as the Clock King.

The Clock King's time-related crimes initially came to the attention of Star City's crime fighters Green Arrow & Speedy. After a number of encounters, they finally defeated the Clock King and turned him over to the police. While awaiting trial, however, Tockman discovered that he wasn't dying after all; his doctor had accidentally switched Tockman's lab reports with those of another patient. Meanwhile, his invalid sister was placed in a state nursing home (Tockman's greatest fear), where she passed away.

Enraged by his sister's death, Tockman swore to get revenge against both his incompetent doctor and Green Arrow and he has escaped from prison several times over the years in order to do so.
