MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 214: THE TERROR

(Detective Comics v1 049, 1941)


This is one of your technical qualifications: a singer's former partner, jealous of his success, comes back for revenge. He calls himself the Terror and has a camera-gun and a bunch of hired goons with names like Smokey Joe. It all adds up to just enough to land him in the theoretical super-villain wing of the prison when Slam Bradley busts him.
