Baron Siva is a regular-style science-type villain who attempts to conquer the US via a campaign of fear and espionage before being captured by Samson and David. Perhaps the most interesting thing about him are the things about him that go completely unaddressed:<\/p>\n

-the fact that his head is enormous<\/p>\n

-the fact that he has no ears<\/p>\n

-his weird transparent blouse<\/p>\n

-the fact that he possesses advanced technology like paralysis rays<\/p>\n

-is his surname just Siva or is this a reference to the Hindu god?<\/p>\n

-are those walnuts in his hand in the second panel above or is he crushing some model testicles?<\/p>\n
