Bring on the Bad Guys: Joe Callen

Real name: Joe Callen

First appearance: All-Flash Quarterly#1 (Summer 1941)

Abilities: Gangster

Worst act: Theft, attempted murder, kidnapping 

Created by: Gardner Fox (script) and Evert E. Hibbard (art)  


A pretty cut and dry gangster. He learns that Mr. Norris has invented a formula that can turn living things to stone, so naturally he tries to get his hands on it. They manage to kidnap Jay Garrick but he manages to escape. 

Thankfully there's an antidote in the form of an 'experimental plasma' which Jay takes before he and Joan get kidnapped again and turned to stone. The antidote kicks in and the Flash brings the gang in without issue.
