     Nick O'Teen's Dastardly Plans
    As a character, Nick O'Teen didn't appear to have any super powers.  He would plot to offer free cigarettes to unsuspecting school children.  However, he would run at the first sight of Superman who could apprehend him with relative ease.  His physical appearance resembled that of a typical 1920's film villain, but his top hat was made to look like a burnt cigarette butt.  As he was a long-term chain-smoker, Nick O'Teen's teeth were stained a bright yellow, a distinctive side-effect of someone who regularly smokes.  His name is a pun on nicotine; the highly addictive alkaline substance found in tobacco.
