Debuting in the pages of Mystery Comics #4 (1944), we have a particularly well-dressed villain:
Wow.
The thigh-high green boots over the way-too-short shorts...the tunic...the groovy flower...And perhaps most of all, that helmet!
Rest assured, The Immortal Emperor is not a robot...
He is an alien, working for Lilith, queen of the "planet that orbits the moon."
As near as I can find, we never see the guy with his helmet off...but more research is required.
Perhaps he deliberately looks so goofy...so Wonderman and others won't take him seriously!
I mean...just look at the guy!
Someone needs to revive this guy--stat!!
SPOILER ALERT: he doesn't die.

Bold Fashion Choices--Wonderman!!
The is one iron-clad, never-wrong, absolutely unbreakable rule in comic books:
If your name is Wonder Man (or Wonderman)...
You ALWAYS have the worst damned costume in the universe!
Still, that cover, with Nazis in dyed-green KKK outfits and flamethrowers, was pretty cool. Too bad nothing like that appeared inside the comic...
