Bug-Eyed Bandit is the name of two DC Comics supervillains.
[edit] History
[edit] Bug-Eyed Bandit I
Bertram Larvan was an inventor who designed a mechanical insect to control insect pests. Unfortunately, he had no financial backing to support his invention. He resolved to steal money he needed for his invention. He later used his invention to steal more. Soon, he had an army of mechanical insects and took the name of the Bug-Eyed Bandit. He was thwarted by the Atom II. Later on, he accidentally discovered Atom's identity of Ray Palmer and fought him on different occasions. When he was about to use an amnesiac gas on Atom, he accidentally used it on himself. During the Crisis on Infinite Earths, he was one of the people killed by Shadow Demons.
[edit] Bug-Eyed Bandit II
The second Bug-Eyed Bandit is first presented as such in Adventures of Superman #608 (November 2002). But his first appearances can be traced as far back as Justice League America #43 (1990), where a Bug-Eyed Bandit appeared even though the original was supposed to be dead at the time. The current one is the son of the original Bandit, but not very successful. He recently reapppeared in Villains United and Infinite Crisis as a member of the Society. His current whereabouts are unknown.
