(Smash Comics 006, 1940)
Time for a very obscure character indeed: Kadu-Kan, who put out Black X's eye in an attempt to induce him to spill some military secrets. Kadu-Kan is therefore a major figure in the history of the character to be mentioned in one panel and never again, and then only to provide a reason for Black X's ever-present monocle.
(Speaking of Black X and setups with no real payoff, the first Black X adventure in Feature Funnies 013, 1938 includes this enemy spy who is a double of Black X and escapes into the night at the end of the story, to never return)
