The Hood: Difference between revisions

'''The Hood''' was a [[criminal]] who, by [[November]] [[2066]], had been named as public [[enemy]] number one by both [[Nation|international]] and [[Planet|interplanetary]] [[security]] forces. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Disaster! (short story)|Disaster!]]'')

In [[2065]], the Hood, along with [[world]] [[scientist]]s, was said to be excited by ''[[TV 21]]''{{'}}s discovery that [[Lady]] [[Penelope Creighton-Ward]] had recieved an [[Invisibility|invisible]] ray [[torch]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Menace of the Monstrons (comic story)|The Menace of the Monstrons]]'') Aiming to obtain the [[device]] for his own dastardly plans, he forged a [[passport]] and travelled from [[The Hood's temple|his temple]] in the [[Malaya]]n [[jungle]] to [[England]] by ''[[Fireflash]]'' and hired a [[car]] once there. Firstly, he attempted to impersonate a [[sale]]sman for the new ''[[Universal Cook Book]]'' but when he came away from [[Creighton-Ward Manor]] with only an ordinary [[flashlight]] he recruited the services of [[Big George]] to try and break-in to take the torch forcibly. This also failed. Later, after Lady Penelope and [[Parker (Mr. Steelman)|Parker]] were exiting the [[British Secret Service]] [[building]], the Hood fired at them both and subsequently involved them in a car chase but the [[oil slip]] function of [[Lady Penelope's car]] ''FAB 1'' [[Car crash|caused him to crash]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Vanishing Ray (comic story)|The Vanishing Ray]]'') It was found by [[county]] [[police]] investigating reports of [[gun]]fire at [[Creighton Mansion]] that "a [[man]]" was seen [[running]] from a wrecked [[car]] into the surrounding [[wood]]s. Tracker [[dog]]s combed the area. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Eve of War (comic story)|Eve of War]]'') Finally, he [[disguise]]d himself as a [[police officer]], intending to take the torch and kill Penelope, but after he was admitted to her home she was able to knock him unconscious with a falling [[chandelier]]. Parker then drove back to [[London]] to annoymously hand him over to the Secret Service. He was [[Interrogation|interrogated]] but the only [[crime]] they could charge him with was illegal entry into the [[country]] and so [[Head of the British Secret Service (The Vanishing Ray)|the Secret Service Chief]] arranged for him to be deported back to Malaya. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Vanishing Ray (comic story)|The Vanishing Ray]]'')

In [[June]] [[2067]], the Hood "triumphed" when he finally obtained the location of [[Tracy Island]], [[International Rescue]]'s [[South Pacific]] base. His "cunning plan" brought him [[photograph]]s of ''[[Thunderbird 2]]'' after he crashed a massive [[passenger]] [[plane]] into the [[island]]. Soon afterwards, [[newspaper]]s across the [[world]] bore [[headline]]s which exposed the [[secret]]s he had uncovered. [[Jeff Tracy]] appealed to ''[[TV 21]]'' to combat the Hood's blow. It did so by bringing its readers the undercover [[story]] of [[Operation Cover Up]], a move being implemented to [[disguise]] the IR headquarters. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Steve Zodiac Alive!
