False Face

Further reading False Face at the Grand Comics Database

False Face is the name of several supervillains appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics.

The concept and first character, created by Mort Weisinger and Creig Flessel, first appeared in Leading Comics #2 (spring 1942) using the name "Falseface". The name was later adjusted to "False Face" mirroring minor characters introduced by Fawcett Comics and Timely Comics.

Variations of the character have been introduced in Batman #113 (February 1958) and Birds of Prey #112 (January 2008). In all instances, the character is only identified as "False-Face" or by an alias while in disguise.

First Golden Age version

The first version seen was among the five small-time criminals hired by organizer Black Star. Along with his colleagues Captain Bigg, Hopper, Brain and Rattler, he staged a robbery at a city bank by disguising himself as a construction worker. False-Face drilled through a water main and used the pressurised escaping water to blast a hole into the bank. After he and his friends robbed the bank, they used a paddy wagon as their getaway vehicle while disguised as police officers. Under the orders of Black Star, False-Face was sent to New Orleans to rob riches from those sponsoring the Mardi Gras event. He and his henchmen disguised themselves as a Clown Krewe and insinuated themselves onto a parade float. This managed to attract the attention of the Shining Knight who was in the area at the time. False-Face escaped, but his henchmen were apprehended. He then attempted to steal the Star Sapphire Gem from Mardi Gras organizer J.J. Ennis. To do this, False-Face disguised himself as a police detective and infiltrated Ennis's house. He once again fought against the Shining Knight, and briefly subdued him, but the Shining Knight escaped from False-Face's trap and defeated him. False-Face was then arrested by the police. At this point, it was discovered that the unpleasant face he usually presented was not false at all. Much later, he confronts the Star-Spangled Kid.

Second Golden Age version

Further reading False Face at the Grand Comics Database

A different version dies in a confrontation with Captain Marvel Jr. While not the same character as created for DC, the publisher would later license and eventually purchase the characters and stories that Fawcett published. The material would be assigned to "Earth-S" within the continuity of the DC Universe.

Silver Age version

The late 1950s version of the character, created by an uncredited writer and Sheldon Moldoff, appeared once in Batman #113.

Little is known of the Caped Crusaders' first meeting with the villain in Gotham City. During Batman's second chance encounter, it's revealed that he had impersonated the wealthy uranium tycoon P.S. Smithington. As Smithington, False-Face robbed a jewelry store, framing the true Smithington for the crime. Batman managed to rescue the actual Smithington, but was unable to recover the stolen jewels. At police headquarters, Commissioner James Gordon supplied Batman and Robin with information about the case and the two gave chase. This time, False-Face kidnapped rock star Wally Weskit during a charity benefit concert and concealed him in an elevator shaft. As False-Face assumed the form of Weskit, his henchman Pebbles attempted to make off with the charity proceeds. Batman and Robin managed to prevent this, but False-Face and his gang escaped. The third time that False-Face struck, he impersonated the safari hunter Arthur Crandall to get into the Gotham City Explorer Club. While attempting to steal the club's Golden Tiger Trophy, Batman and Robin arrived and were on his heels again. He lured Batman towards a large water tank and managed to temporarily trap him, but the Dark Knight detective succeeded in outsmarting False Face and his men, apprehending the entire group in the process. False Face was taken to prison and subsequently retired.

Second version

The second Fisherman's real identity has never been revealed. The character's modus operandi is mainly involved with stealing and selling technology.

The concept and first character, created by Joe Greene and Stan Aschmeier, first appeared in All-American Comics #69 (November–December 1945) as a single-use thief in the Doctor Mid-Nite strip. The name was reused for a single appearance character in Blackhawk #163 (August 1961), and later for a character that became a recurring opponent of Aquaman.

Within the context of the stories, this latter Fisherman is originally presented as an unidentified international criminal specializing in the theft of rare objects and scientific inventions. He utilizes a high tech pressure suit, collapsible fishing rod, and gimmick "lures" in his crimes. While his identity is never revealed, enough is known about him for the Gotham City coroner to state that a man wearing a copy of his equipment that is killed in Gotham is not the same person who faced Aquaman.

In his first encounter with Aquaman, the Fisherman uses an explosive lure on Aquaman, almost killing him, but Aquaman escapes on a blue whale. The Fisherman returns many times to fight Aquaman, as well as Blue Devil. The Fisherman confronts the canine Green Lantern G'nort. He appears in Roulette's gladiatorial gamehouse.

The character first appeared in Seven Soldiers: Frankenstein #3 (April 2006) and was created by writer Grant Morrison and artist Doug Mahnke. She is adapted from the literary character of the same name.

The Bride's history that includes her creation at the hands of Victor Frankenstein is roughly the same as her namesake. She wandered the Earth after assuming that her creator and Frankenstein perished in the Arctic Circle. Many years later, the villain Red Swami brainwashes the Bride and grafts two arms to her in order to pass her off as an unidentified four-armed goddess. After being subdued by agents of S.H.A.D.E., the Bride joins the group. She states to Frankenstein "It's nothing personal, but you were never my type".

In 2011, "The New 52" rebooted the DC universe. The Bride is first seen investigating disappearances in Washington, D.C. before going missing. Frankenstein is paired up with the Creature Commandos members Warren Griffith, Vincent Velcro, Nina Mazursky, and Khalis to locate the Bride and eventually find her fighting off an endless horde of monsters.

A flashback reveals that the Bride previously had a loving relationship with Frankenstein and fathered a son. Unfortunately, the Spawn of Frankenstein became homicidal and Frankenstein was forced to kill him, straining his relationship with the Bride. In the present, Frankenstein and the Bride find that the Spawn of Frankenstein was resurrected by Father Time and locked in S.H.A.D.E.'s headquarters until it broke out.

In the present, the Bride becomes a member, later leader, of the Creature Commandos, developing a soft spot for Nina Mazursky.

Young Frankenstein

Young Frankenstein is a character appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics.

Little is known about the origin of Young Frankenstein. At one point, Young Frankenstein was a member of the Teen Titans in-between the events of "Infinite Crisis" and "One Year Later". A picture of him clearly shows him as a younger version of the famous Frankenstein, another DC Comics character based on the famous monster and a member of the Seven Soldiers of Victory. What the connection is between the two has yet to be explained.

He finally made an appearance during the World War III event where he and the other Teen Titans tried to help stop a rampaging Black Adam. The group confronts the murderer at the Greek Parthenon. Zatara is badly injured. Young Frankenstein grabs Black Adam, who then rips off his arms. At that point the Titans leave their wounded to the care of rapidly approaching Greek authorities. Martian Manhunter, disguised as a medical worker, goes into Young Frankenstein's mind and learns that he is still alive and in great pain. Martian Manhunter soothes his mind, staying with him until his death.

In the DC Infinite Halloween Special, Victor Zsasz revealed the final fate of Young Frankenstein in a tale called "...In Stitches". As his remains were being carried away in a helicopter, it was struck by lightning. His body was blown to bits, and the individual pieces began moving on their own, killing anyone in their path for new flesh. Young Frankenstein was finally able to pull himself back together in Albania and began walking on the bottom of the Ionian Sea with a need for revenge.

In Terror Titans, Young Frankenstein, whose final story is now revealed to be true and not a fabricated Halloween tale, is one of the imprisoned heroes forced to fight on the behest of the Apokoliptan gods on Earth in the Dark Side Club. After being rescued from the club by Miss Martian, Young Frankenstein is offered a spot on the new Teen Titans roster, but declines.
