MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 460: THE IRON DUKE

(Mystic Comics v1 003, 1940)

Just a gang boss running an arson scheme, but a particularly ruthless one with a particularly great name.

Having a cool name doesn't help you when a couple of brothers rock up with their super-powered rubber robot. Still, the Iron Duke! What a name!
