(Fantastic Comics 004, 1940)
Is Prince Pigza a proper super-villain or just a jerk? His major crime as discovered by a newly-amphibious Sub Saunders on an exploratory jaunt under the ocean is in not caring that his process for extracting gold from seawater is (possibly) causing disturbances along the coast of the US. Would it be polite to check? Is it a dick move not to stop? Both yes. If he didn't lock up Sub Saunders for suggesting that he stop and subsequently plan on dissecting him to learn the secret of his amphibiousness then I might not have been able in good conscience to include him here.
Sub Saunders of course escapes his prison and calls in the US Navy to *squints* slaughter Pigza's spear wielding guards and presumably declare the city of Crustacea an underwater protectorate of the United States.
Prince Pigza himself is summarily exploded by Sub Saunders. What I'm saying, I guess, is check up on people or governments before you casually make them your enemies because they might have a tendency to respond to provocations with overwhelming and deadly force.
