MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 004: THE PURPLE TIGER

 (More Fun 012, 1936)



A member of the surprisingly robust fraternity of guys who get a head injury and then become criminal masterminds. Distinguished mainly by appearing in Radio Squad, a pre-Superman Siegel and Shuster joint featuring police offers with RADIOS in their CARS, which is honestly more revolutionary than it might sound to us in this far future year.

SHOULD THEY BE BROUGHT BACK? Honestly just putting this here to note that I won't be adding this to every generic crime idiot's mini-writeup. If it's not there, just assume that my opinion is the same as for the Purple Tiger: There's no reason to bring the specific character back, but it's a perfectly fine name for a minor villain and you know I love legacy characters.
