HISTORY 

Jakob Karno was a very brilliant scientist, but also an unscrupulous man. After getting a baby from an orphanage, he put all his efforts into turning him into a super-man... A super-man completely under his command. Karno named the boy Simba. It was then that the Nazis came to power in Germany and the annexation of Austria occurred. Karno quickly became a prominent member of the party. By 1941, Dr. Karno and Simba had already carried out numerous missions for Hitler that included robbery, kidnapping or assassination. Eventually Simba turned against his "creator". After crippling Dr. Karno, Simba left him to fend for himself. Karno would take several decades to reappear, trapped on a wheelchair and calling himself "the Chessmaster". When the Chessmaster and his Chessmen kidnapped young heiress Irene Jonson and scientist Dr. Fung and his young assistant, american Dan Barrister, the old hero Crimson Moth came to the rescue. Unfortunately Crimson Moth was defeated by the Chessmen and killed. But thanks to the hero's sacrifice, Fung, Barrister and Irene managed to escape taking with them one of the Chessmen's combat suits. Fung modified the uniform for his assistant to wear, calling himself the Crimson Moth, after the man who had sacrificed his life for them. Barrister (with Fung's help) managed to defeat the Chessmen and turned Karno over to justice to finally pay for all of his crimes. 

POWERS & WEAPONS 

Karno was a true scientific genius with extensive resources. He also had his Chessmen, brainwashed henchmen blindly faithful to him, who wore bulletproof flying suits and carried futuristic weapons.
