Real name: Anson Larson
First appearance: Teen Titans I#24 (Nov.-Dec 1969)
Abilities: Appropriation
Worst act: Attempted murder, real estate scam
Created by: Bob Haney (script) Gil Kane (pencils), Nick Cardy(inks), and John Costanza (letters)
Judging from the story, I'm guessing Haney caught some Scooby-Doo.
The Titans are on vacation, hanging out at the local ski resort. Medicine Mountain is owned by the local tribe but they have problems. What started as a series of accidents is now moving to outright sabotage.
Yeah, turns out the local medicine man is in cahoots with Old Sourdough, who turns out to be Anson Larson, real estate mogul. Seems he wants the ski resort to go under so he can sell the land over to the government for a missile site.
Except the tribe own the entire land. If the resort fails, they'd still own the land. Yeah, he didn't think this one through. A disapointing effort from Haney and Kane.
