Silver Age DC has no shortage of memorable villains, and Mark Mandrill — who first menaced readers in The Brave and the Bold #35 back in 1961, courtesy of the legendary team of Gardner Fox and Joe Kubert — earned his place in the canon early. Over a surprisingly long publishing footprint stretching across more than six decades, this DC antagonist has crossed paths with some of the publisher's biggest names, sharing pages with the likes of Hawkman, Green Lantern, The Flash, and Superman. His inclusion in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe confirms he's no throwaway footnote — DC considered him worth cataloguing alongside the greats.
