The Thinker (1944)

The “master strategist of the underworld,” a brilliant “gang chieftain whose name has become legendary in underworld circles” for the “cunning generalship” with which he leads his men and the “clockwork precision” that characterizes his crimes. In March 1944, the Thinker and his henchmen stun [[Metropolis]] with a series of spectacular criminal escapades, including “one of the most carefully planned bank robberies in the archives of criminal history”, but it is [[Superman]] who inflicts the final humiliation by apprehending them all in his [[Clark Kent]] identity (Act No. 70: “Superman Takes a Holiday!”). Not to be confused with the gang leader [[The Thinker (1954)]].
