Fun with Comics: Not Lex Luthor, but an incredible simulation

Even when Lex Luthor doesn't appear iin a Superman comic book, there's some dumb bald criminal "mastermind" vieing to become the Metropolis Ace's deadliest nemesis. This guy is Hugo Renaldo, just an cheap con man and not Luthor, but Kal-El has got to ask himself "Who are all these bald men and why are they trying to destroy me?"

Another bald nogoodnik "I'm Not Luthor" villain (Action #177, less than a year later) is "The General," who uses abandoned Nazi weapons to battle Supes. I imagine Luthor himself would not be above using Nazi weapons, but he probably wouldn't shout about that fact as much as this schmuck.
