(Captain America Comics 009, 1941)
Zarpo is a classic example of why if you are a government or large business, etc, you should have a process for vetting wild crackpot claims from scientists who come to your door. When a man says to you, for example, "my name is Zarpo and I have invented a bomb that blows up after spending a certain amount of time near a human being," perhaps consider not calling him a crackpot and throuwing him out of your office. Because: what if he's telling the truth? You just might get blowed up is what.
Zarpo is himself blowed up in a confrontation with very minor scythe-throwing Marvel character Father Time, shown here sporting the rare nose-forward style of super-hero mask. Love that nose!
