Background[]
The Wizard of Oz[]
The Wicked Witch of the West was one of the four (two later) Witches in the Kingdom of Oz. Her real-life counterpart is Almira Gulch. When Dorothy Gale's house landed on the her sister, known as the Wicked Witch of the East, and Glinda the Good Witch of the North gave Dorothy a pair of magic ruby slippers, the Wicked Witch menaced Dorothy and her companions while they journeyed to the Emerald City. When they arrived, they were tasked by the Wizard to bring back the Witch's broom in order to earn his help. While they went to her castle, they were captured by her winged monkeys. When the Scarecrow set himself on fire, Dorothy tossed a bucket of water, which also hit the Wicked Witch and caused her to melt.
The LEGO Batman Movie[]
The Wicked Witch of the West and her Flying Monkey army were among the inmates of the Phantom Zone and were among those released and lead by The Joker.
Description[]
The LEGO Batman Movie[]
Just as mean as she is green, the Wicked Witch of the West is a broom-flying menace who wants nothing less than total power and control over the magical land of Oz ... at least until she was locked away in the Phantom Zone with her fellow ultimate villains. With an arsenal of powerful magic spells and an army of winged monkeys at her command, this sinister sorceress is a real threat to the good people of Gotham City.
Bat-Fact: Just like Catwoman™, she really hates getting wet.
