Little Wise Guys were Dodo, Muggsy, Frank, Gimp, and Specs. They lived in a working-class neighborhood in an unnamed American city. Dodo, the son of a fireworks store owner, was the leader of the group, while Muggsy, a son of a construction foreman, was his right-hand man. Frank, Gimp, and Specs didn’t have much in the way of distinct personalities. The Little Wise Guys were patriotic and generally meant well, but their methods were fairly extreme. They faked a bombing to get their neighbors to buy war bonds, and beat up a man simply because he didn’t want to buy war bonds. The group lasted only two issues, and their feature was replaced by Little Dynamite. Charles Biro would end up reusing the name for Daredevil’s kid sidekicks, who quickly overshadowed the originals.
