(Slam-Bang Comics 006, 1940)
The Sky Demon is a heretofore-unseen old enemy of Diamond Jack who starts strong with an overall Satanic look and a little skull on the front of his trunks - just the right amount of accessorizing to make a pretty basic super-outfit pop.
I also love his plot to conquer Earth and/or wipe out humanity: get some gorillas, give them wings and revolvers and let them loose. I can't say whether or not his plan would have succeeded because he was fatally prevented from carrying it out by Diamond Jack.
Gorilla-based schemes aside, I really like the parallel of Diamond Jack the magic ring-powered hero vs the Sky Demon and his little magic cape. A sub-ecosystem of heroes and villains weilding magic items of various kinds sounds like it could be interesting comics fodder!
