Doctor Double X is the name of a fictional character in the DC Comics universe. The character is a supervillain who has fought the Batman and Robin several times in Gotham City.

[edit] Character history

Dr. Simon Ecks discovered that human auras could be enhanced to function outside of the body. When Ecks created an energy-duplicate of himself, the introverted scientist's unstable mind became dominated by the doppelgänger he named Double X. The villain fought the Batman several times, only to be returned to Arkham Asylum time and again.

[edit] Powers

Doctor Double X's energy-duplicate shares the consciousness of Simon Ecks, but can also act alone. The duplicate's powers of flight, energy blasts, and strength have at times required Batman to seek help in defeating the villain. Double X requires regular infusions of electrical energy to sustain itself or it will lie dormant in Ecks's body.
