Fictional character biography
His appearances nearly always involved some form of time travel technology, or at least hypnosis-based experiences that simulated time travel; the stories themselves are less than clear on this respect.
Professor Nichols was a useful character to lend some sci-fi "color" to Batman stories in the late 1940s and 1950s, when more conventional superhero tales were out of favor and most remaining books of the genre drifted into sci-fi and related genres.
In the mid-1970s the character was reintroduced in the comicbook Superfriends continuity as a mentor for the Wonder Twins, who lived with him in their civil identities of John and Joanna Flemming.
