(Top-Notch Comics 005, 1940)
Sir Gilbert is the evil knight who Galahad sets out to vanquish on his first official Knights of the Round Table mission. He's got all the requisite qualities of an evil Arthurian knight: a cool name, a rakish attitude toward kidnapping and menacing women, and designs on the lands near his castle. And like most if not all non-Mordred evil knights in comic book Arthuriana, he's a completely original character, which is always a bit confusing because there are ever so many villains and scumbags to choose from in the source material.
Canonicity aside, Sir Gilbert is a good first foe for any character. He's got a good name and a bit if a reputation, and he provides just enough challenge to be a credible threat before being defeated so thoroughly that he can be repurposed into an improvised missile.
