Nazi supervillain who can play a flute in a hypnotic manner forcing people to dance, almost even against their will. A nemesis of Captain Marvel Jr., he appeared in Captain Marvel Jr. #2 (December 18, 1942) and #3 (January 20, 1943).
In the first story, he charms the children (adults are unaffected) away to a mountain, like his namesake, only here the mountain is a secret, hidden Nazi indoctrination camp. He tries to kill Captain Marvel Jr. with a "My death note! It destroys the brain!" Although it temporarily stuns him, it doesn't kill him. Also, no one else in the room was affected.
In the second story, he's escaped from prison, and trying to sneak his way onto the air at radio station WHIZ, disguised as a genius flute player named Petroff Pfeiffer. He succeeds and plays his "death song" that is so sad it makes people commit suicide. He's interrupted by Captain Marvel Jr. but gets away. His new mission is to send a musical code hidden in a song titled "For the Glory of Old Glory" that will give Nazi spies at the Panama Canal the info they need to blow up U.S. ships and block the canal.
Captain Marvel thwarts him.
