(Human Torch v1 005b, 1941)
Bit of an unfair one here: Rathia is a princess of a Baltic kingdom of Atlanteans who persuades the Sub-Mariner to attempt world conquest. She is unquestionably a bad egg but by far the worst crimes of the issue are perpetuated by Namor himself and include: imprisoning and nearly killing Toro, mind controlling the Human Torch, flooding Africa and NYC, sinking the Italian Navy, nearly destroying Moscow and various war crimes. Crucially, Rathia does not exert any influence other than puffing up Namor's ego - no mind control, nothing. Maybe a roll in the hay. Despite this, she is the one who stands trial as "World Enemy No. 2 - second only to Hitler!" while Namor just has to look contrite.
In conclusion, this should probably be part of a Yearbook post about Namor but I am aggressively disinterested in him so Rathia takes the hit once again.
Seriously, look at this guy. Contemptible.
