Luckily for fans, Egghead hasn’t been entirely left behind. His recent appearance in both the Batman: The Brave & the Bold cartoon and comic would insinuate that he’s once again found his niche. In fact, ole Eggy received top billing in issue #16 of the comic series, going up against both Batman and Wonder Woman with the equally odd (and much more bizarre) villain Egg-Fu.

Honestly, where does the idea of a villainous <i>egg</i> come from? Let alone an Asian - 'scuse me, Oriental - one? 'Yeah, they're...uh...egg-shaped and easily breakable and stuff! This'll be so totally cool, trust me!' Every time I see the original Egg Fu I find myself speculating helplessly on the process of his creation. Honestly, where does the idea of a villainous egg come from? Let alone an Asian – ‘scuse me, Oriental – one?

‘Yeah, they’re…uh…egg-shaped and easily breakable and stuff! This’ll be so totally cool, trust me!’

On the Mary Tyler Moore Show, Mary Richards recounts how she loved reading Wonder Woman growing up and talks about an adventure with Egg Fu- mustache and all! I know it seems unremarkable in an age where pop culture references are made every other millisecond on Family Guy, but this was quite an amazing thing back in the day!
