Bring on the Bad Guys: Wing Norris

Real name: Wing Norris

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

Abilities: Shooting guns

Worst act: Attempted murder, breaking and entering

Created by: Gardner Fox (script), Sheldon Moldoff (pencils)

Wing Norris and his gang are the third agents. Their mission? Kill Hawkman


A bit weak. Norris and his gang put out a rumor that a certain jewelry store is going to be robbed. Evidently they hope Hawkman will somehow hear about it and rush to investigate, at which point they will shoot him as he doesn't wear a shirt. 

Pity he was working on a spare suit which he gives to his girlfriend Shiera in an effort to fool the gang. She puts it on (doesn't call herself Hawkgirl just yet) and rushes to the scene-where she is promptly shot. Hawkman then proceeds to beat seven shades of Hell out of the entire gang. 

Yeah, even as filler this was a bit low stakes. Shiera gets shot but she's more or less over it and this incident wouldn't even get mentioned in future issues.
