Bring on the Bad Guys: Le Blanc

 Real name: Andre Le Blanc

First appearance: Teen Titans I#18 (Nov-Dec. 1968)

Abilities: Thievery, being outrageously French 

Worst act: Theft

Quote: "You are zee fool I am zee biggest..."

Created by: Len Wein/Marv Wolfman (script), Bill Draut (pencils/inks), and Jon D'Agostino (letters)


#17 we'll be skipping, as the villain in that yarn was the Mad Mod (who'll we'll be seeing shortly). No, this time we'll be looking at Le Blanc and the first appearance of Starfire!

No, not that one.

The character that would later become Red Star is introduced as a Russian hero on the hunt for infamous jewel thief Le Blanc. A pretty standard yarn; two international groups(s) clash at first but learn to work together. Le Blanc is pretty generic, even his thief outfit looks like he got it off the rack.
