History
A New Dawn
DC introduced King Tut into the comics with the 3 part story arc A New Dawn, as seen in issues 26-28 of Batman Confidential. The Story was written by Christina Weir and Nunzio DePhilippis, with pencils by José Luis García-López. DC's King Tut is considered a complete reimagining of the character, since he bears little resemblance to the original.

Batman TV Show
In the Batman TV Show, Tut was a mild mannered college professor whose real name was William Omaha McElroy. One day, during a student peace rally at Yale, he is bumped on the head, and starts to beleive he is a reincarnation of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun. For some reason, he felt compelled to go to Gotham City and defeat Batman and Robin. The character is always able to be defeated by a simple blow to the head, which returns him to his normal mental state. King Tut appeared in ten episodes of the series, more than any other character created for show. He was portrayed by Victor Buono in every appearance.
