Background/History: Born on Earth (probably in the East) centuries ago, Green Dragon has long since ceased to be fully Human. After some unknown time spent exploring the solar system and establishing bases of some sort on other planets, he has recently returned to plague the world of his birth. It is suspected that his intention is to acquire ancient artifacts that would enhance his powers, or perhaps having dwelt elsewhere he simply decided he likes Earth well enough that he wants to conquer it, or part of it.

Quote: "My dear Garol, I have no intention of torturing you! I never hurt old men! Bring in the princess!"

Appearance: In "human" form he appears to be a middle aged bald Asian man whose face is marred by inhumanly pointed ears and noticeable fangs. This could be an effect of having spent so much time in the form of predatory animals, or the mark of some dark bargain he struck to gain his first foothold of occult power.

Green Dragon's one and only published appearance was in Dime Comics #1, in 1945. According to the Public Domain Super Heroes website Green Dragon was created by Fran Hopper and published by Lev Gleason, and is in Public Domain.
