MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 111: THE SPECTRE

(More Fun 061,1940)


Impersonating and framing a super-hero is not an uncommon thing to do, but Gustav Gilroy took the added step of adopting his target's identity as his own in his campaign of turning his enemies to gold via chemical-laced free gum samples.


Gilroy also faced the Spectre in the first year of his career and so didn't really comprehend just how bad his choice of scapegoat was - the only surprising thing about his end is that he was ultimately turned to gold by his own hand rather than that of the earth-bound ghost himself.
