The Band of Super-Villains

WF No. 134 art by Jim Mooney

The name adopted by a trio of ordinary criminals. After a visiting alien from a far distant planet has provided them with s set of special belts capable of endowing them with amazing powers, ostensibly, because he wants to enable them to become wealthy super-criminals in return for their promise of future aid in establishing a dictatorship on his native planet.

In reality, however, the belts, which release an alien element into the air, are part of a fiendish alien scheme to poison Earth’s atmosphere and annihilate its people in order to pave the way for an alien colonization.

Batman, Robin, and Superman apprehend the Band of Super-Villains and the evil alien, who when he is finally corned and defeated, blows himself and his spacecraft to smithereens as the self-imposed penalty for failure of his mission.
