Who’s the villain?

That's just a henchman. The True mastermind will be revealed tomorrow.

Well, my first impulse was to go all CLUE and say: "It was Mr. Universe in the lab with a mini-black hole." But, seeing that the Silver Age Atom was not compressed beyond recognition but, instead, abducted using what appears to be brown fly paper, I'll now say: "It was Colonel Mustard hot-dogging it for someone even more powerful."

Doesn't that colonel work for the Condiment King?

Tracey has a rogues gallery worthy of Bats, Spidey, or Silver Age Flash.

My money's on “Littleface” Finny.

Flattop and Chronos ,could be, but doubtful. Ready for the Sunday Funnies!!

Simreeve is right. Given that this guy is using carrier pigeons, I'd say he's more likely an analog of Col. Gumm (sending his employer an airmail special delivery)!

True that. And I'm pretty certain this one is supposed to be "Open-Mind Monty" Hepbeat. A diamond smuggler who propagated the urban legend that he had a knife semi-impaled in his cranium! The removal of which would instantly kill him.

Carycomic said...

That would explain the swept-back mop of overgrown red hair. To hide the knife handle from the eyes of the law-abiding public...who would otherwise turn him over to the cops for the reward offered by Dick Tracy's Crime Stoppers.

Maybe it's the Dillon Brothers, Max and Roscoe (alias Electro and The Top, respectively)?
