History
The criminal who became known as the "Green-Faced Man" was a notorious killer who was active during the 1940s. Developing various gases to kill his victims, Reibel accidentally exposed himself to one of his most recent chemical mixes. Instead of killing him, it mutated him instead, giving him green skin and pointed fangs and made him immune to poison gases. Ultimately captured and put on trial for his crimes, the Green-Faced Man had one of his minions rig a film projector with evidence of his crime to eject poison gas in the courtroom. Unleashing the deadly gas and killing everyone inside, the Green-Faced Man attempted to flee the scene.
He did not count on the fact that the Patriot would be on site, assigned to cover the story in his civilian guise of newspaper reporter Jeff Mace. The Patriot chased the Green-Faced Man to the roof of the courthouse. Their fight led them off the rooftop and onto a statue of Justice. Overpowering the Green-Faced Man, the Patriot tossed him off the statue. Reibel saved himself from a deadly fall by grabbing onto one of the hands of a clock below. However, this was only a slight reprieve as the Patriot jumped down, grabbed the opposing arm of the clock, and used it to swing around to Reibel and knock him loose again. The Green-Faced Man then fell to the pavement below, dying on impact.[2]Attributes
