"Red" Skelton,[note 1] birth name unknown, was an internationally notorious criminal. In 1940, disguised as an innocuous pilot, he flew Mara Rice and her professor father to the Belgian Congo. After they arrived, Skelton put his plot into action, threatening to leave the two of them there and attempting to extort $100,000 and Mara's hand in marriage from them. Skelton killed the professor when he resisted, but Ka-Zar stopped and killed Skelton with a knife to the throat, saving Mara.[1]
