US Movie Serial Villains
Here's a list of those caped, masked, and otherwise
disguised troublemakers who too often are revealed in the
final reel to be respected members of the community gone
crooked. Non-disguised villains, with creepy names who are
not incognito, such as Carol Forman's Spider Lady
(SUPERMAN) and Black Widow, JUNGLE JIM's the Cobra, or the
villain(s) of the two Don Winslow serials, called the
Scorpion (the most popular name for a serial villain), are
not included in this list.
