MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 068: THE MASTER

(Action Comics 030, 1940)


I've decided to introduce a system for dealing with some of the more minor super-villains who do not incite as much excitement in me to vomit out more than a cursory sentence about them (slightly unfair to the Master, who is kind of interesting, but I am uninspired today) In such cases, we will be answering one or both of the following questions:

What makes them a super-villain? In addition to his super-villain name, the Master has three qualifying super-villain attributes

1) Methods: he kills those who resist his extortion attempts by releasing huge poisonous beetles in their homes.

2) Powers: the Master, unlike many of Zatara's opponents, is a magic user. Specifically, he has the ability to resist and shrug off Zatara's own magic

3} Association: he employs the services of the Tigress

What's interesting about them? Honestly, it's the idea of a crook being able to resist a magical hero's powers. Underused and underappreciated!
