The Black Dragon and his Deaglos (bird-men) are foes of Captain Battle. He is “the last word in evil sorcery”, bewitching prisoners into giant Deaglos whose battle cry is “Clack, clack, Cloweeeee!”. In his feudal castle in the “Asiatic” mountains, this incarnation of evil rules as an absolute tyrant. He chafes at any form of freedom for others, hence his sworn enmity against all democracies. The Asian powers are but a front for him, and having failed miserably to even dent our cousin’s navy, he is taking a hand by sending a division of Deaglos. The Black Dragon is a normal looking man in a red robe and skull cap. Captain Battle discovers the Deaglos can be killed simply by radio beams. The Black Dragon escapes, but is defeated in his second confrontation with Captain Battle.
