Bring on the Bad Guys: Frankie Fowler

Real name: Frankie Fowler
First appearance: All-American Comics#23 (February 1941)
Abilities: Handy with genealogical records
Worst act: Blackmail
Created by: Bill Finger (script), Everett E. Hibbard (art)

Another blackmailer this time; Frankie finds out that actress Delia Day is set to marry the fabulously rich Harvey Drake the Third. A secret that Ms. Day didn't tell her hubby to be is that her father is the infamous gang lord Al Maloney. Frankie knows this, however, and for a small monthly fee he'll be happy to keep her secrets secret.

Fowler bites it when Maloney breaks out of jail and shoots him, dying in the process. Green Lantern gets a new power when he brainwashes Fowler's gang to forget Day's parentage.

A bit scummy but forgettable.
