The Spook was a madman with an extreme sensitivity to light, choosing to dwell in a dark, subterranean, dungeon-like lair. He commanded a small army of emaciated zombies that he referred to as his “Skeleton Men.” The Spook ruled his army of undead from atop a throne decorated with skulls. Within his dungeons, the Spook enjoyed torturing the living with a number of medieval devices. He held the villainous Panther beneath a swinging pendulum blade. The Spook also tried to kill detective Ace Powers, but Ace managed to escape and had the local police blow up the entrance to the Spook’s lair. The Spook was a man of imposing stature, standing close to 7 feet tall. His “Skeleton Men” were strong and did not feel the effects of gunshots. It is unclear if the Skeleton Men were a product of science or magic, but it is clear that the Spook created them.
