Lemo here has a mechanical mole-style tank and reckons he can take over the world with it after almost destroying one (1) circus tent. It's a good thing he was blown up by one of Marvel's many Herculeses before he could get too far and get disappointed. (Mystic Comics v1 004, 1940)
This fellow, known only as the Mystery Man, has been working on the problem of how to counter snipers in warfare, and the scheme that he has come up with involves breeding up vicious wolf-dogs, training them to hate a particular smell and then applying that smell to the shoes of enemy combatants so that the dogs hunt and kill them. There's a slight problem with this plan that the two crypto-fascist gentlemen that he's trying to sell this system to don't seem to come on to, even when he offers to sell them the scent and the dogs and doesn't mention offering a dedicated group of scent-applying agents (or maybe he had some smaller dogs trained to do the job and he was going to upsell them later).
The Mystery Man only gets caught because he has been picking up hitchhiking college students and using them to train the dogs and the person responsible for their safety is friends with giant super-hero Mighty Man and long story short the Mystery Man gets eaten by dogs. (Amazing-Man Comics 009, 1940)
This here unnamed fella has a four-step plan:
1. Capture the Iron Skull
2. Inject the Iron Skull with a serum that turns him completely to iron
3. Inject his iron blood into robots to make them alive somehow
4. Profit
Steps 1 and 2 go fine but as seen above a major flaw in the plan is that the Iron Skull is now more powerful and mops the floor with his erstwhile captor. The robots don't even show up! (Amazing-Man Comics 015, 1940)
