MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 326: BLACKJACK

(Human Torch v1 004, 1941)


Blackjack is your regular style gang boss who is operating at a scale sufficient to be considered super-villainous: he has an ocean liner and a private island equipped with various anti-Human Torch measures, including a fleet of nitrogen bomb-dropping bombers, all in service to one of my personal favourite supercrime setups: the escape ring (which of course involves paying a portion of your take to a third party in order to be spirited away from the reach of the authorities).

Sadly for Blackjack the Human Torch has been a cop for a while now and he is gunned (well, fire-handed) dpwn while trying to escape.
