Real name: Gates
First appearance: All-American Comics#20 (November 1940)
Abilities: Radio executive
Worst act: Murder
Created by: Bill Finger (script), Mart Nodell (art)
The issue we see the return of Irene Miller (last seen in All-American Comics#18) and Alan Scott going to work in radio, a job he'll be linked with for the rest of his existence.
When radio announcer Jim Telluem is murdered, Alan decides to investigate. Irene worked with Jim and gets Alan's foot into the door of the Apex Broadcasting Studio. From there he finds a gang of smugglers and their boss, Gates who as it turns out is the head of ABS.
Not bad, but I can't help but notice how many superheroes worked in either print or radio news. Although it does makes sense, since Alan's being an engineer hadn't been a plot point since his second appearance.
