 Prospective global conquerors I tried to make a list of prospective global conquerors other than extraterrestrials and Axis affiliates.
Feel free to mention examples from prose. For comic books or comic strips, try to restrict it to the early "Golden Age".

Re: Prospective global conquerors Would the nebulous terrorist organization Spectre count as golden age?

Re: Prospective global conquerors Did Dr. Zorka and Dr. Satan try to conquer the world?

Re: Prospective global conquerors I nominate Fantomas. He's the kind of guy who, rather than having a clear goal in mind, would probably take over the world more or less just for the hell of it.

Re: Prospective global conquerors Dr. Satan most definitely, as every other line out of his mouth was: "My army, of remote control robots, will takeoverdaworld." The Crimson Ghost and (I believe) the Black Tiger also fall into this category. And let's not forget Lo Pan, people! How about Alexander the Great and Napoleon!

Re: Prospective global conquerors The "Golden Age" I will allow as before the 1960's.

Re: Prospective global conquerors He already did ... as an extraterrestrial, although .... was Ming meant to be a yellow peril referent (based on the fu manchu-style goattee he sported in both the big-little books and how Charles Middleton was dressed) or was he supposed to be an axis powers mutt.
