MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 138: DR DOOG

 (Adventure 061, 1941)


Starman's first foe is also his first super-foe: the diabolical Dr Doog. Doog (and nothing is ever made of his name being Good, backward) has stolen a device called to Ultra-Dynamo from Professor Davis (above right) and is using it to disrupt electrical power across North America in service to his dreams of world domination.

Doog brings in deathtraps, a hollowed-out mountain base and perhaps most importantly, a group of henchmen with the excellent name the Secret Brotherhood of the Electron. It's small wonder that he's already been brought back once or twice, a decision that I wholeheartedly endorse.
