Ra's al-Ghul. If I even spelled his name right.

It's spelled correctly, except you added a hyphen. Yeah, I know Arabic transliteration adds a hyphen to "al", the comic books omit it for this character.

Amusingly enough, the first stories with him did have his name as "Rā's al Ghūl". Indicating the proper long vowels of the Arabic words.

Curse you, lack of hyphen, you've beaten me again. There's already an apostrophe, why not add a hyphen for good measure? And my own (first) name has a hyphen, so maybe I'm biased.

And hah, Rā's al Ghūl is just asking for trouble. Although some people do remember Mr Mxy's longer name (I don't), so maybe they'd had gotten used to it.

So that's the guy I keep hearing about on and off. I thought he would be taller...
