Bring on the Bad Guys: "Easy" Eddie Edwards

Real name: Eddie Edwards

First appearance: All-Star Comics#6 (August-September 1941)

Abilities: Failure to pick up sarcasm 

Worst act: Attempted murder, counterfeiting

Created by: Gardner Fox (script), Stan Asch (pencils)


And so we end another feature here. 

#6 is a bit notable, as this is where the Flash goes from JSA member to honorary one and Johnny Thunder takes his place. 

The first chapter sets up, but since there's no real villain I opted out of giving that a separate entry. Johnny Thunder is given a chance to join the JSA but he must capture a real arch enemy of justice!

It's a snipe hunt. The 'villain' is an old kook who prints up stories about all the crimes he got away with. Johnny finds him easy enough, but Mr. Edwards takes notice and assumes the old timey nut is the real deal and thus would have a fortune or two squirreled away. 

The JSA set him right.
