Bring on the Bad Guys: John "Clutch" Widdles

Real name: John Widdles 

First appearance: All-Star Comics I#1 (June 1940)

Abilities: Killing old women 

Worst act: Murder

Created by: Gardner Fox (script) and Everett E. Hibbard (art)  


At least we don't have anyone fixing a race. No, Mr. Widdles is a murder. Old Mrs. Jones is offed and the Flash is on the case!

Mostly to show up the commish. Flash figures out the murder's identity and harasses both him and the cops so much Widdles turns himself in and the cops make Jay Garrick an unofficial deputy, mostly to get him to leave them alone. 

Not the best motive for solving a crime, I have to admit.
