MAD AND CRIMINAL SCIENTIST ROUND-UP 002

Back again with another collection of science-villains who didn't quite make the grade!


Fritz Cardif here has a gunpowder-exploding ray and a lot of big plans. He probably would have made the main list except that I personally find his antics very dull, with the exception of the lil' stinker moment pictured above. (Hit Comics 006, 1940)


Dr Marko figured on using kidnapped scientists as research slaves in his Grand Canyon hideout, but he too was corralled by Neon the Unknown. (Hit Comics 013, 1941)


Professor Dorn here is your typical Nazi scientist obsessed with replicating the powers of the Sub-Mariner for the glory of the cause. He ends up lasting about fifteen minutes after meeting the real deal. (Marvel Mystery Comics v1 023, 1941)


 Dr Sunga has a pretty good scheme going wherein he seeming kills people by sending them a cursed wand that is actually harmless - seemingly the perfect crime! But the Golden Age Falcon figures out the trick: it's actually the box that the wand is sent in that does the killing. Sunga of course ends up dead by his own fiendish device. (Daring Mystery Comics 005, 1940)
