MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 304: THE MENACE

(Captain America Comics 006, 1941)


The Menace is a dude who uses secret tunnels and the power of fear to advance his fairly low-stakes plot to steal $50 000 worth of bonds from his elderly sister. Some might argue that that is far too little money to put murder on the table for but those people aren't super-villain material.

Unfortunately for the Menace, he happens to catch the attention of Hurricane (later retconned as Makkari, one of the Eternals), so his reign of terror is short indeed. And since his crimes all took place inside a single boarding house he might just be the villain least likely to ever make a second appearance.
