Bring on the Bad Guys: Mr. X

Real name: Unrevealed 

First appearance: All-Star Comics#5 (June-July 1941)

Abilities: Rackets

Worst act: Racketeering, attempted murder

Created by: Gardner Fox (script), E.E. Hibbard (pencils)


New issue and like the previous, the entire thing is an anthology. This time the theme is Mr. X, a racketeer who plans to destroy the JSA by luring them away and sending a specially selected agent to do them in. He technically appears in every story but his only active role is in the first story and the last.

Name aside, he's a bit bland. Not horrible but honestly generic even by the standards of the 1940s.
