Henry Jones. The meek, scrawny cartoonist and self-proclaimed "genius" who, working under the manly pseudonym of "Carson Steele," is the creator of Geezer, a whimsical orange-costumed comic-book super-hero "who has taken the public by storm" with his idiot theme song ("Wherever crime lurks, I must seize her. That's why far and wide I'm called Geezer!") and his penchant for making fools out of Hitler and his Axis cronies. When outraged Nazi agents attempt to murder Geezer's creator ("You make der Fuehrer the laughing stock of the world," hisses a Nazi assassin, "then you dare ask why you should be blasted out of existence!"), Superman streaks to his rescue, but he also makes Jones promise to stop relegating the art chores on Geezer to assistants when he should be doing the work himself. "Millions of readers rely on you for your best!" scolds Superman. "If you give them less, you're being dishonest!" (S No. 25/3, Nov/Dec 1943: "King of the Comic Books").
