Bring on the Bad Guys: Yad

Real name: Yad

First appearance: Flash Comics#9 (September 1940)

Abilities: Using a shock stick, good listener 

Worst act: Kidnapping, bank robbery, attempted use of giant Gila monsters

Quote: "Go Chase Yourself!"

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

Mostly taking place in Canada, here the Flash gets involved when an old pal of his calls for help from Canada. Seems strange goings on are happing in his remote area of the woods and he needs some help. 

He also knows Jay Garrick is the Flash too but there's no time for that at the moment.

So the Flash checks out the Great White North and finds Yad. Seems Mr. Yad overheard old Doc Tyler talking about a new fancy chemical. So he kidnaps the old scientist and forces him to grow Gila monsters to giant size so he can rob banks. 

Golden age comics everybody. One call to the RAF later and the Great Northern Woods are alit, Doc's been rescued and Yad's been spun around.
