Bring on the Bad Guys: Ivar Torgson

Real name: Ivar Torgson
A.K.A.: Rubber Baron
First appearance: Wonder Woman I#4 (April/May 1943)
Abilities: Being poor in business
Quotes:
Worst act: Burning plans for rubber production
Created by: William Moulton Marston (script), Harry G. Peters

A more straight forward foe this time out. Ivar is the head of a group of rubber barons. While they have developed a new method of rubber production, Ivar figures it would be better business to burn the formula. That way the war will continue and they'll be rich!

Wonder Woman tries making Ivar a slave to his secretary, then figures blasting his brains with a modified x-ray. This somehow works and Ivar and his cohorts are taken to Reform Island.

Many legal questions are raised, I'm sure.
