MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 168: DR KRUG

(Blue Beetle Comics 008, 1941)


Dr Krug! I cannot tell you his motives, because he never goes into them! Dr Krug! He wants to destroy NYC York City , and he's going to do it with gorillas! Dr Krug! Specifically, explosive gorillas! Dr Krug!

That's really all there is to the guy. He somehow figured out how to make time-bombs out of gorillas and went from there. As far as I can tell from the action of the story his plan is to have the gorillas get arrested and then blow up the police stations they are taken to. This is simultaneously one of the weirdest and least cost-effective ways of destroying a city that I have ever encountered - I think he may have started with about eight gorillas, to boot. If he hadn't fallen in the gorilla pit and exploded he would have been having a long hard talk with his gorilla supplier before long.
