Jagga is a savage fiend from Pluto, who committed crimes, including cold blooded murder, on every planet in our Solar System. His enemies claimed that Jagga was the most evil creature in the universe, and that his only goal was the destruction of civilization on all planets. Jagga was also interested in power, however, as he set himself up as a dictator on at least one world. Greedy and arrogant, he stole great riches and referred to other sentient beings as “worms”. He was tried and convicted for his crimes in an American court of law, but escaped. Jagga was an evil genius who also possessed brutish strength. Standing around 7 feet tall, he could lift a full grown human male over his head, toss a “Magatron Bomb” by hand, and swim through a stormy sea that would drown most humans. Nevertheless, Captain Midnight bested Jagga in hand-to-hand combat. Jagga, like other members of his Plutonian race, had large claws and fangs, and was completely immune to the damaging effects of high voltage electricity. In fact, a surge of electricity increased his strength to superhuman levels, and allowed him to make superhuman leaps, at least 20 feet in the air. Jagga also had a limited degree of immunity to high levels of radiation that would kill most other creatures, though it could put him in a temporary coma. Jagga often carried a ray gun, and sometimes worked with henchmen of his own race, including one named Gool. He operated from a secret base on Earth’s Moon and commanded his own interplanetary ship.
