Bring on the Bad Guys: Scar Jorgis

Real name: Scar Jorgis
First appearance: Green Lantern I#1/2 (Fall 1941)
Abilities: Gangster
Worst act: Horse theft, fixing races
Created by: Bill Finger (story), Mart Nodell (art)

Scar is memorable due to being the first villain ever seen in the very first Green Lantern comic (second story though, as the first is a recap of GL's origin).

GL gal-pal Irene inherits a racehorse, but local gangster Scar wants it. Working with her crooked cousin Gerald, he steals it and proceeds to rig a series of races in his favor.

Thankfully Green Lantern happens to overhear and gets involved and thus Scar is brought to justice. Irene apparently sells the horse as it is never mentioned again.
