Bring on the Bad Guys: Captain Tiger

Real name: Unrevealed 

First appearance: Teen Titans I#9 (May.-June1967)

Abilities: Pirate 

Worst act: Piracy, theft, assault  

Created by: Bob Haney (script), Irving H. Novick (pencils) Nick Cardy (inks), and Stan Starkman (letters)


With this issue we finaly learn how the Titans get their fan mail. Nothing fancy, just a regular mailman who hands off the mail to Wonder Girl. The problem this time is Dobbs University and Brandon College. Seems every time the schools have a beach holliday the students end up in a rumble.

So putting on their college sweatshirts (yet keeping their costumes on) the team hits the beach! With much painful slang being slung around the team manages to convince the students to stop being hooligans and help restore the stone jetty.

Then a pirate shows up. Yeah, Captain Tiger opts to crash his submarine on the beach and attack. 

Good yarn although odd that apparently in the DC universe there's a Batman TV show, judging from the billboards.
