  • MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 053: PIANG THE TERRIBLE

    (Whiz Comics 009, 1940)

    A rival magician seeking to steal Ibis the Invincible’s mystic Ibistick, Piang dies at the end of their first encounter, is resurrected via careless use of magic by Ibis and then dies again in their second encounter.

  • MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 049: HOBO-MILLIONAIRE

    (Whiz Comics 006, 1940)

    Like many Ibis the Invincible villains, the Hobo-Millionaire found the mystic Ibistick when it was lost for a time and who eventually attempted to kill Ibis with it, leading to is own death via magic feedback. Unlike most Ibis the Invincible villains, Hobo-Millionaire is great.

    I would love for them to BRING BACK this great man. It wouldn’t be hard, either! Imagine a scenario in which the Ibristick is passed down to a legacy character (this is always the best way to handle bringing back magic item-based characters, BTW) and they try to get advice on how to use their new possession by summoning its previous owners. SURPRISE: most of them were dicks, and Hobo-Millionaire rules them all.
