Bring on the Bad Guys: Spider

Real name: Unknown
First appearance: All-American Comics#28 (July 1941)
Abilities: Poisoner
Worst act: Murder
Created by: Bill Finger (script), Irwin Hasen (art)

Spider here is the leader of a murder ring, giving old rich men poison for various reasons. He's the real mastermind, despite Larry Brand (nephew of victim Cyrus) playing a prominent part in the story.

He does manage to elevate himself somewhat by kidnapping both Irene Miller and Green Lantern and forcing them to take poison. He still loses when GL fakes his death.
