And you know what's so badass about my new BFF? He was really, really good at killing Nazis. Sure, Indiana Jones gets all the glory--melting faces, earthquakes inside ancient caverns--but those were all acts of God...a deity stepped in and killed most of those Nazis by mystical means.
The Marksman?? He killed Nazis the old-fashioned way...himself!! And pretty nastily, too.
In Smash Comics #44 (1943), the marksman is visiting Colombia, and of course stumbles upon Nazi evil-doings. Unfortunately, the bad guy gets the drop on Baron Povalski...
...and leaves him on the jungle floor with the corpse of a comrade the marksman had already slain. Now, this was pretty mean, because:
Ewww. But rather than be grossed out, or run away screaming, the Marksman uses his knowledge of jungle lore to save himself...
...and then to construct an ingenious death trap for the Nazis!!
The results?
Your move, Doctor Jones, your move....
