Technically the real enemy in this yarn is time. Barry develops a radio watch that alerts him to crime across the globe so he races across the world fighting crime, but can he make his dinner date with Iris West in time?
Le Chat Noir is a fairly plain villain, even his look if pretty bland. A turtleneck and a suit jacket screams coffee shop hipster more than terrorist, but eh, it was the late 50's. He gets taken out pretty quickly and Barry moves on. Three bandits from Egypt have more panels, but they aren't even named in the story.
