MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 319: DR NARR

(Daring Mystery Comics 005, 1940)


Poor Dr Narr. all he wanted was to make good robots, but all he could make were terrible robots (in comics terms. Even today, bipedal, semi-autonomous robots capable of running and throwing nets etc are wildly advanced. Be less hard on yourself, Narr).


Too bad for Narr that he chose the villain's path: rather than reevaluating his metrics for success in a robot he kidnaps Marvex the 5th dimensional super-robot in hopes of discerning his secrets. This leads directly to his death by falling (from a window that he was attempting to push Marvex out of). The moral: don't kidnap robots.
