the 1950's Masters of Evil
In an alternate time-line, criminal mastermind the Yellow Claw organized a team of superhumans to
kidnap President Dwight Eisenhower and ransom him to the American public. His goal: absolute control
over one of the eastern states.
Luckily, a fledgling version of the Avengers existed in this time-
line, consisting of Marvel Boy, the Human Robot, Gorilla-Man, Venus, and 3D-Man. These heroes overcame
the brainwashed minions of the Yellow Claw and rescued the President.
Using the 1950's Masters of Evil in Your Campaign: Time hopping heroes might find these villains a
handful, or a Vintage Era campaign could also make use of them. Alternately, a modern time-twisting
villain might bring them forward to spring on unsuspecting heroes.
