MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 054: SLAUGHTER SLADE
(Special Edition Comics, 1940)
Here is a list of pertinent details about Slaughter Slade:
-He talks like Swamp Thing for no discernable reason
-He is stronger and more intelligent than the human norm. Together with the prior point and some general odd behavior throughout the story this kind of leads one to think he might be revealed as a robot or alien or something. He is not.
-He has three henchmen: a regular gangster named Butch, a weird little freak named Spider and an intelligent gorilla named Doctor Allirog. Oh, and a giant spider:
-Doctor Allirog is not an intelligent gorilla at the beginning of the story, but his name is Doctor Allirog at the beginning of the story.
-Slaughter Slade’s plan is to destroy the entire US government and install himself and Doctor Allirog as President and Vice-President, respectively.
-Part of Slaughter Slade’s plan involves buying a book of knowledge from this man:
Professor Universe is possibly the single-appearance character whose failure to make a return has hurt me personally the most. Just the idea of this mercenary genius living somewhere near Fawcett City is so delightful to me. Obviously I want them to BRING BACK everyone involved in this story, down to Butch and the two Spiders.

MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 051: CAPTAIN DEATH
(Whiz Comics 008, 1940)
Fairly generic pirate captain distinguished by the fact that he manages at least two appearances. Maybe three, actually:
It’s equally possible that this guy – a henchman of Dr Sivana in Whiz 021 – is intended to be the same person with a whole different aesthetic or an unrelated guy with a similar taste in names. What is certain is that he was seemingly kilt stone daid by Captain Marvel and the Lieutenant Marvels
