List of DC Comics characters: R

Rag Doll is the name of several supervillains appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The first, Peter Merkel, is a villain of the original Flash, the second is an enemy of Starman, and the third is Merkel's son and a member of the Secret Six. The Peter Merkel incarnation of Rag Doll was created by writer Gardner Fox and artist Lou Ferstadt, and first appeared in Flash Comics #36 (December 1942).

Peter Merkel, a native of the Midwestern United States, is born with hyper-mobile joints, and becomes a contortionist and carnival performer. After the carnival closes, Merkel becomes a criminal and enemy of the Flash. Throughout his appearances, he joins the Secret Society of Super Villains and loses his soul to Neron before being killed in action.

In September 2011, The New 52 reboots DC's continuity. Merkel is resurrected and appears as an inmate of Arkham Asylum.

Colby Zag is a mentally unstable imposter who replaces Merkel when he is presumed dead and becomes an enemy of Starman.
