Willoughby Kipling is a fictional character in the DC Comics and Vertigo Comics universe, created by Grant Morrison.
Publication history
Kipling appeared mostly in Doom Patrol, originally intended as John Constantine, but at the time DC editorial policy forbade his use outside the Vertigo line; Kipling was created as a substitute, and was based upon Richard E. Grant's title character from the British cult film Withnail & I. He appeared intermittently, helping the team against various threats, such as the Cult of the Unwritten Book and the Candlemaker. He is a member of the mystic Knights Templar, a coward who practises a bizarre form of black magic and is a self-proclaimed expert on the occult.
Later, Kipling's voice-over appears in JLA Classified #15 (February 2006). He and several other magic-users use their knowledge to assist Oracle and the JLA defeat a mystic threat.
