Chung Hang: 1940, Fight Comics #2 (Fiction) This yellow peril menace is a bit of a visionary. He forsees "soon the world will exhaust itself in war. Then it shall be ready for my super-science...I will control the thoughts of all men!" He's not an idle boaster either as the rays from a rod he holds allows him to controll anyone they fall upon.

Hans is a big man with oversized hands able to trade blow for blow with the American Eagle who eventually defeated him and the Little Fuehrer.
The Hare: Red Dragon Comics (Street & Smith). Cunning thief that opposed the Red Knight. Not much else to recommend about him other than that the Red Knight for a chess genius and gifted with some rare instances of incredible foresight is also rather dense at times (although I don't think this is the impression the writer intended to give, just he's not that good of a writer). Thus to be charitable to the Knight and forgive him the lack of a decent writer, let's just assume the Hare really is a Napolean of crime the writer wants him to be.
The Harrow Brothers: March 1943, Clue Comics #3 (Hillman). Ronald Byrd tells us: James and Billy Harrow are identical twins with a psychic link that enables them to sense each other's emotions.

Sheena freed the slaves from captivity and was able to destroy Hawkina and her henchmen.

Hawkmen: 1944, Tops Comics (Lev Gleason). In the Pacific a ship bearing army nurses is caught in a mysterious fog and when it clears, the ship is near an uncharted island. Suddenly, the ship is attacked by hawkmen who kill the sailors, set fire to the ship and kidnap the nurses. Nurse Doris Kane is trapped below decks, but the hero Jack of Spades bursts from a deck of cards and saves the nurse taking her to the island where the hawkmen live. From there, the strange plot unfolds. Mercuro the leader of the hawkmen has kidnapped the women in hopes to create hawkwomen. He is successful with one but then the Jack of Spades bursts in, who seems to recognize him. Mercuro is accidentally speared by his own men and other monsters of his creation begin to run amok, free of Mercuro's will. As Jack of Spades and various winged hawkmen fight a huge dragon, Lotho and Bosco decide to submerge the island, saying only they can survive under water, leading to an open revolt between them and the winged hawkmen. The hawkmen scoop up the nurses, taking them to nearby ships while one skewers the traitors Lotho and Bosco. NOTES: This is the second story in the two of the one issue of "The Jack of Spades." Both stories are breezy and fun despite the smaller size of the comic and the haphazard coloring (some pages full color others black & white & red ). There's quite a bit to be inferred from the story. One, there are two types of hawkmen. The guards and soldiers who had clawed feet and hands with massive wings out of their backs. Then the leaders Mercuro, Lotho, and Bosco who have wings from the sides of their heads but not backs and who possibly cannot fly. Then there are the references to the leaders being able to breathe underwater, from being below ground, and the fact that Mercuro is seeking to make hawkwomen suggesting that possibly all the soldiers and guards are also creations of Mercuro especially since the one hawkwoman made is similar to them.

However, a tenant reports to the police hearing a struggle and the disappearance of their landlady. They come with Crimebuster and Skeets in tow.

Ultimately captured, she has a quick trial and is promptly sent to the electric chair.

The mystery man stands revealed as the head of the sanitarium, brain specialist Dr. Delamorte who had been blackmailing his patients, destroying their minds with drugs and killing them when done. NOTE: The masked figure had no name perse, so I made one up. Also, there's a flaw in the story as while the figure was supposed to be about to operate on the nurse in his secret lab, Dr. Delamorte was in another operating room and Farrel sees him there. So, there might be a little more to this mystery than published.
