MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 390: DR MAUSE

(More Fun Comics 067-068, 1941)

On paper I should love Dr Mause, a weird little creep who preys on Allied shipping for his legally-distinct-from-German masters using not only an "electroblast ray" but a cool floating island base, but in practise he leaves me cold. I'm glad he gets captured by Captain Desmo, see if I'm not.
