Landor

Landor, the Maker of Monster, was a mad scientist bent on world domination. As the name indicates, he specialized in making monsters, mostly by combining bodyparts salvaged from various corpses and bringing the results to life. He was opposed by Anthony Jack Terrance, an American adventurer, Marcia, Anthony's fiance and (occasionally) Kung Fu-Tse, a noted criminologist and Antony's college roommate. After their first confrontation, Landor was trapped in a life and left for dead. He survived, but the burns damaged his body beyond repair, turning him into a ghastly mummy-like being.

Landor briefly found love when he was approached by Doctor Sina Zurat, a famous biologists. Suna expressed admiration for Landor's experiments and the two decided to pool their knowledge to create a new monster, a fanged woman named Creeta. They fell in love and decided to get married. But the jealous Creeta wouldn't have it. She tried to kill Sina. Landor rushed to stop his creation, but it was in vain. Anthony Terrance, who was passing by Landor's headquarters, heard Sina's scream and rushed in to help. Landor told his enemy how to defeat Creeta, only to discover that it was too late - Sina was dead. The despondant scientist surrendered without a fight.

Landor escaped from prison in the very next issue and returned to his old ways. However, this would be the last time he made female monsters.
