Dr. Aegyptus © Juke Box Productions AstroFacts Status: Likely Deceased Earliest Appearance: circa 1900 Base of Operations: Romeyn Falls Personal Data InfoDump Appearances (in Publication Order): Astro City #5 (only mentioned) Event Timeline Dr. Aegyptus A wicked schemer from around the turn of the century. He operated with an ancient Egypt theme. History At one point, Dr. Aegyptus discovered an Egyptian sarcophagus with time travel abilities. He used it to smuggle unwilling Bakerville residents back in time, to the distant past. There, he would sell them into slavery, then use the money to purchase items of mystic power before the world knew of their true value. Dame Progress put a stop to this scheme, after being led to its existence by Mister Cakewalk. Footnotes Another name that was considered for this character was "Dr. Sarcophagus." Writer Kurt Busiek even went to Twitter to ask people which sounded better.
