Ah Ku

Golden Age Origin
Ah Ku (also rendered as "Ah-Ku" in some stories) was a Chinese crime boss who was based in New York City In her first appearance, she approached Bob Phantom pretending to a "Princess" who was concerned that many illegally smuggled Chinese immigrants were turning up dead. But as Bob eventually discovered, she was actually the ruthless mastermind behind both the smuggling and the deaths. Later appearances showed her selling opium, killing rivals and generally engaged in all sorts of criminal activities. In her first three appearances, she commanded a mixed-race gang. In Top-Notch Comics #9, she attempted to use a Chinese-gang to covertly take over New York's Chinatown.
