Zoltar

Zoltar was a regional lieutenant operating out of the secret Athens headquarters of the world-wide criminal syndicate know as Vulture. He was also a "deputy Mr. V," indicating that a number of individuals played the role, and was the first to be unmasked in the conflict between Vulture and the Manhunter from Mars. Among the Athens unit's assets was a twin-engine plane used as a flying headquarters where free-lance operatives like Marco Xavier could be briefed via teleconference with a Mr. V without gaining knowledge of their primary regional location. This was in fact a barren island accessible by boat from Athens, with a secret elevator leading to a magnificent palatial structure far below the surface. The Manhunter eventually followed the unit underground, smashed the headquarters, and captured Zoltar and his men. However, another Mr. V taunted the Manhunter via a viewing screen that he had not located the true Faceless Mr. V! Zoltar appeared in House of Mystery #162 (October, 1966)
