What everyone forgets, though, is that in his first appearance, Prankster was as bloodthirsty as the Joker!
The Prankster's boys have been pulling jobs all over Metropolis (and getting away with it thanks to Prankster's cleverly-planned escapes). He's trying to amass enough money to finance his "Big Job," but his underlings want to cash out now...
But lethal gas!?!? Prankster is no fun doofus--he's a mass-murdering pyscopath!!
Things were rougher than we thought in the Golden Age, is all I'm saying.
From Action Comics #51 (1942)

How did he lose all those teeth? I suspect an undocumented earlier encounter. The Golden Age Superman did not know from kid gloves!
Given the apparent Brtishisms he's speaks--"by Jove," "old top,"etc.--they could be implying that he's English and therefore has bad teeth?
