This year we'll be taking a look at the Golden Age Green Lantern and who better than his first foe?
Mr. Dekker and his thugs are officially in the construction business. Engineer Alan Scott gets a bridge contract instead of him, so he naturally wrecks the bridge while Scott travels on it. Scott survives and in the wreckage finds a glowing green lantern. You can guess the rest.
So, as far as first villains go, Dekker is a pretty bland fellow. He dies of a heart attack at the end, which was typical for stories at the time period.
