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.
