- — Von Strudel src
The Faker was an enemy of Spy Smasher.
History
Von Strudel attempted to knock down a flight of American bombers with his "Motor Stopper" but it blew itself up instead. Demoted, humiliated, and under deadly pressure from his superiors to achieve results, Von Strudel decided to fully embrace the role of "Faker" in order to strike a serious blow against the U.S. military.
Using misdirection, Von Strudel was able to pull off four successful sabotage operations, but his fifth project, an attempt to use explosives to activate an extinct volcano, went wrong, when Spy Smasher figured out his real plan, and foiled it.
