Description Update/Revision of an old Captain Marvel Jr. enemy from the Fawcett Comics days. 

From his entry on the Public Domain Superheroes Wiki:

Captain Nippon was a monstrous man created under orders of Emperor Hirohito and the Black Dragon Society to be the champion of Japan by dark sorcery of the Jamambux, a secret society of medievalists, who compounded brute power, hate, terror, murder, lust, and anger into him during his creation. Captain Nippon was not only given not only brute strength though but also the intellect of a master spy. Hirohito said that Captain Nippon would be to him as Captain Nazi was to Adolph Hitler.

The character needed a serious revision as he was very bestial looking (as most Japanese characters looked in Golden Age comics), but I think this version came out pretty good.
