Bring on the Bad Guys: Senor Quito

Real name: Quito
A.K.A.:
First appearance: Sensation Comics I#18 (June 1943)
Abilities: Inca Priest
Quotes:
Worst act: Murder
Created by: William Moulton Marston (script), Frank Goodwin (pencils/inks)

Another Axis foe, although this one is working with the Japanese instead of the Germans. When Steve Trevor investigates possible Japanese infiltration into South America, he and the Holliday Girls get kidnapped. Wonder Woman to the rescue!

Turns out Steve and the gals are being held hostage in a lost city ruled over by the last of the Incas, who decided to throw in with Imperial Japan for some reason. Quito is their high priest, who plans to kill Steve ASAP. Wonder Woman shows up, exposes his plans to the people and Quito in despair throws himself off a nearby cliff.

Not terrible but the whole lost city in the jungle was getting pretty stale by this point and the story doesn't do a whole lot with it.
