MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 153: KULAK

(All-Star Comics 002, 1940)



Kulak is the High Priest of Brztal, which is originally implied to be an ancient lost civilization but I believe is later defined as extra-dimensional in some way. His deal is ostensibly that he is upset that his tomb was disturbed so he is going to destroy humanity, but I don't know that he wasn't just looking for an excuse to flex his magical muscles. He gets up to a lot of fun stuff with disasters - worldwide flooding and riots, plagues of lucusts etc - and summons armies of ancient Brztalan dead to smite his enemy but ultimately is put down again by the Spectre.

In what is going to be an ongoing theme with these one-off All-Star villains, he eventually gets Roy Thomased into the pages of All-Star Squadron to mix it up with the Spectre one more time.
