The Curse of Skeleton Munroe

MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 297: THE BUTTERFLY

(Captain America Comics 003, 1941)

The Butterfly is great. You just can’t beat a guy in a semi-accurate butterfly outfit (I mean that head is a bit of a mashup) who robs museums. He’s got a glider rig and a weaponized proboscis! The only really problem with his operation is that he is in reality museum curator Doctor Victroli, both because he is a fairly obvious suspect and because he is an old man who ends up biting the dust after falling maybe 10 feet off a rope.

Still, the Butterfly is a perfect candidate to be BRUNG BACK. After all, it’s a guy in a suit – someone else can wear it, and this is precisely the kind of low-level supercrook that the Marvel Universe should be awash in.
