(Masked Marvel 002, 1940)
The Eraser Gang, aka the Erasers, aka the Dead Erasers, are a gang with a gimmick: they don't just hijack armoured cars, they make the cars and their occupants disappear completely, to the consternation of the authorities.
But just why do they do this? It's never actually spelled out but as the Masked Marvel discovers when he is captured by them their actual weapon of choice is not a dissolving ray or a powerful acid but a deadly gas. Presumably disappearing the bodies and the scene of the crime using a powerful helicopter hoist was a way of keeping the authorities from learning that all they needed was a few gas masks to kibosh the entire operation.
Unluckily for the Erasers, the Masked Marvel has rendered himself "impervious to all gasses" and so is able to escape and blow all or most of them to kingdom come.
