MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 091: THE MASKED MAN

(Detective Comics 041, 1940)

A common or garden-variety masked counterfeiter, the Masked Man operated out of an all-boys' school, leading to him being the first solo foe of an undercover Dick "Robin" Grayson. Mostly. Batman shows up at the end for a punch or two.
