Real name: Elias Strake
First appearance: All-American Comics#21 (December 1940)
Abilities: Manipulation
Worst act: Fraud, attempted murder
Created by: Bill Finger (script) Mart Nodell (art)
The main focus here is the con artist Mr. Strake. Upon hearing that the Blake family is searching for their lost son, Strake brings in hooligan Cub Brenner and passes him off as the presumably dead Tommy Blake.
As these stories tend to go it turns out that Cub actually is Tommy and the Green Lantern manages to bring Strake to justice.
Not terrible, but that the missing heir yarn was getting a bit old by 1940.
