Ebeneezer Walker

Ebeneezer Walker

An eccentric millionaire who, having learned of a plan by interplanetary invaders to conquer Earth by using special rays to transform various buildings and other structures into gigantic atomic bombs, moves decisively to thwart the invasion by quietly buying the affected structures and getting Superman to demolish them by offering to contribute $1,000,000 to charity in return for theft destruction. Fearful that his well-known penchant for eccentricity would cause him to be branded a crackpot if he were to reveal the truth behind his bizarre demolition scheme, Walker provides Superman with no explanation whatever, but Superman soon leans of the now-thwarted alien invasion and conveys to Walker the gratitude of a grateful Earth (Act No. 214, Mar 1956: "Superman, Super-Destroyer").
