Bill Finger and Bob Kane brought Batman to life in Detective Comics #27 (1939), which introduced the superhero genre to the world alongside Superman in Action Comics #1 (1938). This marked the beginning of the period in comic book history known as the “Golden Age,” which lasted until 1956.
Many iconic members of Batman’s rogues’ gallery were introduced during this time, including Two-Face, the Penguin, and even the Joker. However, most villains debuting during this period did not stand the test of time and are honestly pretty bizarre. Not every idea can stick, but these characters are still fascinating in their off-the-wall creativity.
Fifteen years later, Larry and his goons (the Ugly Horde) wreak havoc in Gotham, somehow managing to kidnap Batman. Their master plan? Destroy Bruce Wayne’s beautiful face. Luckily for the ladies of Gotham, Larry is unceremoniously shot and killed by a police detective in the nick of time. Batman’s chiseled jawline is saved! This comic has aged particularly badly, with the premise that ugly people have an inherent instinct to commit evil.
