MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 118: BLACKMASK

(Nickel Comics 001-003, 1940)


A pretty regular "business guy branches out into costumed villainy" villain, Blackmask is distinguished by a) being Bulletman's first foe, b) his very 90s name and c) lasting 3 whole issues while punching well above his weight class.
