History

The Black Claw was a notorious Nazi naval leader who was active during World War II. He was feared even among his crew members, whom he shot dead for failing in any given task. He was responsible for sinking American convoy and patrol ships in the later end of 1941. His activities prompted playboy Dan Kane to revive his Spanish War costumed identity of Captain Terror.[2]

Captain Terror attacked his ship while it engaged with US forces, leading to his ship being sunk, however the Black Claw managed to escape into the United States. Captain Terror followed the Black Claw back to his hideout where he was captured. The Black Claw took terror aboard his new ship and showed him the new Nazi invention: magnetic mines, which he intended to use against the United States. Captain Terror broke free and set a bomb to go off aboard the Black Claws ship. Battling Black Claw, the two were knocked overboard, where Captain Terror forced the Black Claw under water, seemingly drowning him while his ship exploded.[2]
