Bring on the Bd Guys: Chiller-Diller

Real name: N/A

First appearance: Green Lantern II#3 2/2 (Nov./Dec. 1960)

Abilities: Giant 

Worst act: Mayhem 

Quote: "Strange...I know I'm a 'Chiller-Diller' but what that means...or what I'm supposed to do...I don't know! But this place is full of odd-looking creatures! "

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


Skipping the first story in this issue, as it features the return of the Weaponers. Here, we see Hal facing a real dilemma-head trauma. 

Yeah, while being pressured by Carol to marry him (it's a Leap Year thing), Hal opts to creature a monster to run amuck and fight thus giving him an excuse to leave. It's only when a child's toy plane knocks him out that things so screwy. Children's toys back in 1960 being made of solid lead apparently. 

Interesting, I mean the monster doesn't seem awful. The fact that the ring can create fully sentient creatures is something that might warrant a serious conversation at some point.
