Marvel's Jessica Jones Season 2: 29 Easter Eggs You Probably Missed

18. Dr. Tiboldt

Ringmaster Marvel
Marvel Comics

On top of the appearance by obscure Marvel character The Whizzer, there's another rarely seen character referenced.

When Trish mentions going to a hypnotist, she name-checks him as Dr Tiboldt which is a reference to Maynard Tiboldt, the real world alter-ego of hypnotic Marvel villain The Ringmaster from the comics - who has his own Circus Of Crime in the source material.

It's unlikely we'll actually get to see The Ringmaster in full villain get-up, but this fits with Netflix and Marvel's habit of using more minor names from the comics to flesh out supporting characters in the shows.
