Ezra Gloom was a villain who battled Spy Smasher.
History
The elderly paraplegic Ezra Gloom lured people to his country manor via newspaper ads offering one thousand dollars cash to anyone who came to Moode Manor to claim the money. Spy Smasher soon discovered that this was a plot to spread the Black Death, which the paper bills carried. As Gloom explained, he was paralyzed due to exposure to the Black Death ten years prior in India. This embittered Gloom toward humanity, so he gathered a small army of henchmen from Japan and returned to the U.S. to plot his terrible scheme. Soon, the villain's Japanese henchmen faced off with Spy Smasher, as did Gloom himself using his spike-wheeled wheelchair. This resulted in Gloom crashing his wheelchair. Somehow, the shock of this caused Gloom to regain use of his legs. Gloom also had a sudden change of heart regarding the Black Death. In a fit of patriotic fervor, he decided to escape to Tokyo and spread the Black Death there rather than in his native country.
