MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 084: BLACKBEARD

(Batman Comics 004, 1940)


What makes them a super-villain? I've already stated multiple times that pirates get a free pass. Old-timey cosplay pirates get double marks.

What is interesting about them? Blackbeard is actually a frustrated former actor turned gang boss, and if you don't think that I don't want more of that in comics you don't know me very well. Bring back Blackbeard and make him a method actor.
