Bring on the Bad Guys: 3 Spies

 Real names: Unrevealed, Moster

First appearance: Showcase I#24 1/2 (Jan./Feb. 1960)

Abilities: Espionage, being smarter than Hal Jordon

Worst act: Theft, espionage 

Quote: "When the missile blasts off, the explosion will utterly destroy our enemy Green Lantern! Count down Moster!"

Created by: John Broome (script), Gil Kane (pencils), Joe Giella (inks)


More soap opera; to wit Carol Ferris is convinced Green Lantern is going to propose to her when he rushes off to save someone drowning. 

Hal, meanwhile, discovers the top secret aircraft plans he was supposed to turn over to the Army are missing! Using his power ring, Hal probes his own mind and manages to see an odd fellow bumping into his at lunch. From there Green Lantern tracks the fellow down to a local amusement park. 

Basic and honestly flat. The spies barely have any names and their plans all hinge on Hal being a goof. This might be the first time Hal gets hit in the head and knocked out, by a plain guy in a suit. A yellow roller coaster train goes off the track but thankfully the underside isn't yellow because of course it wasn't.
