Master Jailer -- sworn enenmy of the Superman Family
Carl Draper grew up in Smallville, and suffered the nickname, "Moosie", because he was fat, homely and clumsy. He never seemed too bright, although he was adept at escaping from traps. Once when the Smallville High Geology Club was trapped by a cave in, he found a way out - but never had the chance to tell anyone, as Superboy saved the group.
As an adult his homely face was changed through cosmetic surgery, and he studied hard, becoming a master architect and locksmith, mastering scientific skills surpassed only by Luthor or Sivana.
He created a prison specifically designed to hold super villains, the Mount Olympus Correctional Facility - the world's most secure prison. His genius created special cells for the likes of Metallo, Terra-Man, Atomic Skull and the Parasite. And Lana Lang was there to cover the official opening for CBS. Then along came Superman, to praise Draper and to add his own special touch; he covered the building with a plastic bubble, placed it on an anti-gravity platform, and moved it 20,000 feet into the sky. The Man of Steel wanted to call the new prison, "Draper Island" but Lana preferred "Superman's Island" and the latter name stuck.
Embittered, Carl became the Master Jailer, kidnapping Lana and ensnaring Superman in the Eternity trap. But Superman did escape - with a little help from Lana - and put Draper in his own prison.
Master Jailer is built on an original Mego Type 2 body with white hands; CTVT boots; head sculpt from Next2LastMohican; keys from Matchbox Fighting Furies; paints and suit by yours truly.
"Not so fast Master Jailer." Superman and Supergirl nab the Jailer.
Some great reference pics of the Master Jailer:
...and my personal favorite:
I can't recall ever seeing this character done in Mego-style so I hope you enjoy my take on him. And, as always, thanks for looking!
Peace, Love, and Megos!
