MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 149: KING COBRA

(All American 029, 1941)


A simple first costumed foe for Dr Mid-Nite: a mine owner founds his own secret society in order to control public opinion about such things as unionization and also to have a ready-made lynch mob if needed. Really appreciate how on-theme the Cobra Kingdom - wearing a version of King Cobra's own costume, natch - were at all times, down to referring to their enemies as "mongoose." It wasn't a big shock that they almost killed King Cobra himself when it was revealed to them that they had been duped into doing his bidding.
