He escapes, becomes the Destroyer, and shuts down the machine and its creator once and for all.; The Challenger faces a large ape-like man who has changed his career from boxing to crime in hand-to-hand combat.; Dr. Weems drinks a concoction that he thinks might be a cure for pneumonia, but it instead transforms him into a Mr. Hyde-like monster who becomes known as The Grinner by the local criminals. The Black Marvel must stop him as he tries by intimidation and murder to gain control of prize oil-producing land.; The evil Natas directs his League of Blood to commit murders for hire, but a mysterious man known as the Witness sees them and hunts them down, killing them in retaliation and tracing the orders back to Natas.; The Terror hunts down a gang of looters who have decided to hit only small businesses that are less likely to have the sort of security and defenses that banks have.; Mark Todd (in this story said to be a district attorney) hears of mysterious thefts at an art museum that happen without anyone breaking in to the building. He decides to tackle the case as the Blazing Skull, and realizes that the thief has been hiding out in the museum disguised as a statue during the day.; Satan sends the Black Widow to claim the souls of Lewis and Sykes, America weapons manufacturers who are selling their weapons to the Axis as well as the Allies.; Young orphan Davey Drew inadvertently frees the Demon, embodiment of mankind's evil, from his prison in a cave. The Demon swears to destroy humanity, but in return for freeing him he swears not to harm Davey and gives him a cloak that will protect him. Horrified, Davey brings the military to stop the Demon, but succeeds only in driving him off temporarily.
