Boss Sarpo, full name unknown, is an American organized-crime boss. Following the Ohio River flood of 1940, he and his men attempted to loot vulnerable banks and businesses, but were stopped by the robot hero Electro. Sarpo was imprisoned for his crimes, but his men, led by Scarface Joe, continued to operate at his behest. They kidnapped Electro's creator Philo Zog and forced him to command Electro to free Sarpo. They then had Electro commit a series of valuable crimes, stealing millions of dollars worth of material. This plan was only stopped by extraterrestrial intervention, when Jago and the Dragon-Men came to Earth to take Electro for themselves, easily overpowering the human gangsters. Sarpo's fate since then is unknown.[1][2]
