Bring on the Bad Guys: Gardenia Greene

Real name: Gardenia Greene
First appearance: All-American Comics#32 (November 1941)
Abilities: Mobster
Worst act: Attempted murder, framing
Created by: Bill Finger (script), Irwin Hasen (art)

Greene doesn't play a huge on screen role, but he does factor into the plot. He frames Danny Malone (just because he can) and when Danny is disowned by his cop dad and serves his time, he comes out of the pokey hardened and ready to do actual crimes when Green Lantern sets him straight.

From there Danny gets to infiltrate Greene's gang and helps bring the mobster down. Seems kind of a dumb to hire a guy you framed for a crime, unless he does this so much he can't keep track of them.
