Bring on the Bad Guys: "Honest" John Logan

Real name: John Logan
First appearance: All-American Comics#31 (October 1941)
Abilities: Moving money around
Worst act: Stealing from orphans
Created by: Bill Finger (script), Mart Nodell (art)

Pretty darn similar to an early Superman yarn (Action Comics#27, June 1940). An orphanage is spending it's funds on the supervisor instead of the kids. Green Lantern investigates Mr. Grimstone which in turn leads him to assistant mayor "Honest" John Logan who's funneling money from various programs from the poor to his own pockets.

Good yarn, but again Superman did it first.
