MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 376: THE SHADOW

(More Fun Comics 064, 1941)


The Shadow is in reality the vengeful ghost of Elmer Watson, a bumped-off witness in a big corruption case. Slightly more reasonable reason for revenge than some murderous ghosts, certainly, but Watson's vengeance eventually becomes so all-consuming that he attempts to derail an entire passenger train to get at one target and he ends up banished to whatever nether realm the Spectre sends bad ghosts to.

This is two Vengeance Ghosts in a row for the Spectre! Is that all he is going to face now? No, I checked, it's not. Close call though!
