Bring on the Bad Guys: Mark Karaste

Real name: Mark Karaste
First appearance: All-American Comics#22 (January 1941)
Abilities: Racketeering 
Worst act: Fight fixing, kidnapping, attempted murder
Created by: Bill Finger (script) Mart Nodell (art)

Karaste is introduced to us as the manager of Brute Nolan. Karaste tends to favor the 'anything goes' approach to winning, mostly by trying to have Nolan's opponents killed or failing that, have their spouses kidnapped.

Straight forward, although with the boxing theme it seemed better suited to Wildcat than Green Lantern.
