The Evolution King

An evil scientist who has “learned how to advance or revert a human being’s age” by means of special pills. Aided by gangster Joe Glower and his henchmen, the Evolution King kidnaps prominent athletes, transforms them into helpless old men, and threatens to leave them in their decrepit condition unless they meet his extortion demands. Goaded finally by Clark Kent into demonstrating the effects of his old-age pills by swallowing one himself, the Evolution King perishes when, moments later, he accidentally swallows some additional aging pills instead of the intended antidote (S No. 15/4, Mar/Apr 1942) (TGSB).
