(Wonder Comics 001, 1939)
A gun runner doing business with rebel forces in the probably-South American country of Mauchako, the Mask doesn't bring a lot to the table beyond a fairly snazzy take on the low-effort costume. He's also the first foe faced by super-spy K-51 (is his original callsign of K-5, as you may have noticed). He's also a US Senator, which is a heckuva job to split your attention from - also, weirdly he's not our first one. He ends up employing K-51's childhood pal and then murdering said pal so it's not too surprising that he himself does not survive the adventure.
In conclusion, the Mask isn't terribly exciting. He does have a good look, so that's something.
