MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 108: UNNAMED MAGE

(More Fun Comics 058, 1940)


I love this guy, for all that he's unnamed. He kills an immortal snake that lives in the Nile in order to steal the magic book that it guards. The first spell he tries summons all of the wealthy men in a wide radius and compels them to give up their cash to him. The second spell he tries starts to tear the world apart, though it's unclear whether that was his goal or if he was trying to punch above his weight. Either way, Dr Fate is forced to take him out to restore order.

Also he dresses like Marvel's Sphinx, which is a neat coincidence.
