IMPOSTORAMA: The Fake Two-Faces! No. 1: Wilkins the Butler!

The first of several quick overviews of the other men who would be Two-Face, as if anybody would actually want to have Harvey's life. Today, we look at the very first impostor, as seen in the pages of BATMAN #50: "The Return of Two-Face!"


REAL NAME:
Wilkins (no other name revealed), butler to the now-sane Harvey Dent, who suffers nightmares about becoming Two-Face again.








CRIMINAL ACTS:
Robbing a stadium during a motorcycle stunt show, and maybe other bad things too, but I haven't found scans of the whole issue yet.





DOES HE THINK IT'S HILARIOUS TO ESCAPE ON A BIKE/MOTORCYCLE/MOPED/SCOOTER?
Yes.





HIS SCARRING: REAL OR JUST MAKEUP?
Just makeup, as Harvey himself discovers, while still blaming his own paranoid self.





WHERE DOES THE CLIMACTIC SHOWDOWN TAKE PLACE?
Atop the bust that Gilda made and that Harvey vandalized, which is now suddenly, inexplicably huge in the tradition of oversized props in Batman comics.





HIS MOTIVATION AS A FAKE TWO-FACE:
De moneez and de powah, at Harvey's expense.





HOW DOES BATMAN EXPOSE HIM?
Because Wilkins was an unfair jackass who didn't go all-out with the props.





SO, DOES IT STILL SUCK TO BE HARVEY DENT?
It will soon enough, but...




... not just yet!
