Sadly-Sadly

Phil Sanders was a bank robber, forger, jewel thief, and smuggler, who had the ability to make anyone weep and feel sorry for him when they saw his face. During a robbery, he used his ability to escape Plastic Man and the police, and then laid low for two years. After trying out for an acting job, he was coached on how to make people feel so sorry for him they would throw money. Woozy Winks was also trying out for the same part and nicknamed him Sadly-Sadly. Sadly-Sadly used his talents to rob an armored truck and a jewelry store. When Plastic Man attempted to apprehend him, Sadly-Sadly turned the crowd against him and escaped. Plastic Man devised a plan to trick Sadly-Sadly into believing the mob had killed him. When Sadly-Sadly saw Plastic Man laying in a coffin, he began to laugh hysterically, making the criminal lose his hold on everyone, and allow the police to arrest him once and for all.
