Toyman is a member of the Legion of Doom who uses deadly toys to plague his enemy, Superman, as well as the other members of the Justice League.
This jester-like incarnation is more than likely Jack Nimball, rather than the more well-known Winslow Schott originator.
Toyman's favorite book is Jack and the Beanstalk.
Background Information
On the parallel-universe of Earth-One, Jack Nimball , in early 1974 (1975 in the Earth-1A universe) a protégé of Winslow Schott (the first Toyman) and small-time crook took over the persona of the original Toyman during a time when Schott had retired from his life of crime. On his first outing in his jester-like appearance, he terrorized Metropolis. He was ultimately defeated by Superman.[1]
In spite of initial failure, Nimball would launch a brief criminal career as the Toyman, being defeated every time by Superman just like his predecessor.[2]
In time however, Winslow Schott, believing Nimball had desecrated the Toyman persona, reclaimed the identity by murdering him.[3] After killing Nimball, Schott resumes his crime career as the Toyman.
Earth-1A Universe
Nimball’s murder takes place in the Earth-One universe in 1976. This however, does not appear to be the case in the SuperFriends universe; because two years later, in 1978, the Toyman is alive and well, providing problems for the SuperFriends (Season 3).
The Plastic Man Comedy/Adventure Show (1979-1981)
A similar rendition of the Toyman appears a few years later in an episode of The Plastic Man Comedy/Adventure Show, simply titled "Toyman." He is still dressed like a jester, but this time his costume is now red, green, and yellow, and he has a wind up spring on his back. It's possible that this version of Toyman is just an android created by Jack Nimball.[4]
