MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 456: KING BASCOM

(Mystic Comics v1 001, 1940)


King Bascom, the first foe faced by Dynamic Man, is nothing more than a grubby little capitalist pig. I almost forgot to write him and his land-grab scheme up due to disinterest.

Trouble is, while King Bascom is utterly uninteresting he is cocooned in a dense shell of interesting things: his land grab is aided by a drought that he himself is causing using a rain-prevention machine, he has anti-Dymanic Man weaponry and a deathtrap that involves both a descending ceiling and a flood of liquid nitrogen, he's a traitor and a scumbag and a sneering pompous ass and yet I can't bring myself to care about him enough to finish writing this.
