Hector Bauer

Thwarted composer from the "Crimes Set to Music" multi-part story in DC comic book All-Star Comics #19 (Winter 1943-44). The whole issue is music-themed! Bauer and his childhood friends all wanted to be musicians, and while the others succeeded, Bauer did not. His friends tried to help by staging and performing his symphony, but it was mercilessly panned by the critics. Bauer blamed his friends, made pianos, nursed a grudge for decades, then plotted and hired goons to hurt all his former friends. Fortunately, he draws the attention of the Justice Society of America (by kidnapping Hawkman), who work to foil each of his elaborate schemes.
