Green Hornet Villain Has A Name: Chudnofsky

Now we know who the Green Hornet will be fighting.

Yesterday it was reported that Christoph Waltz will be playing the villain in The Green Hornet, taking over for Nicolas Cage.  My question was, who is this villain that the Green Hornet will be fighting?  I have read some of the Green Hornet comics published by NOW comics in 1989 but I was never a huge fan.  Looking around for possible contenders, the name that kept popping up was a "Mr. X."  
 
Digging deeper, it turns out that the villain that Christop Waltz will be playing is named Chudnofsky.  Does that instill fear into your heart?
 
It will be interesting to keep an eye on this.  Will this Chudnofsky character have a costumed alter ego?  Are there any Green Hornet experts out there?  Has this character been created just for the movie?  Is he an actual villain or has he been adapted from an existing one?  What makes him so evil?  Does he have any special abilities that will allow him to go toe-to-toe with the Green Hornet (and Kato)?
