MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 305: THE BLACK TOAD

(Captain America Comics 007, 1941) 


Here's the problem with the Black Toad: he looks great. A really top-notch costume, like something Batman would have worn in a stage production in the 30s. No notes. And that's the only interesting thing about him. He's a baseball manager who wants to buy into the team and is killing players in order to drive the price down. HO HUM.

(I guess he does use a bomb hidden inside a baseball at one point. That's a bit interesting, I suppose)
