Bring on the Bad Guys: Katmos

Real name: Katmos

First appearance: The Flash I#105 1/2 (Feb/March 1959)

Abilities: Mind control 

Worst act: Kidnapping, attempted conquering 

Quote: "Free! After all the eons--free!"

Created by: John Bromme (script), Carmine Infantino (pencils), Frank Giacoia (inks)


First story in the new Flash series, continuing the numbering from the old Flash Comics. 

On the outskirts of Central City, an archeologist makes a remarkable find. It grows more remarkable when the find, an old statue, comes to life. 

Katmos, as that is the being's name, was a survivor of an ancient civilization, millions of years old. Waking up in a bad mood, Katmos decides that if he is to be stuck in this insane future, he might as well rule it. 

For the first bad guy in the newly relaunched series, Katmos is...ok? He seems a bit similar to Vandal Savage (evil caveman from the past) but he lacks the former's style.
