History
Lens was a Nazi spy who was sent to the United States to disrupt American society. He would smuggle his "gems of death", jewels tainted with a fast acting poison into the country. Working with American traitor Paul Smythe, owner of the Star Department Store, he had the poisoned jewelry sold to unsuspecting victims.
After a string of bizarre deaths happened, the Whizzer made the connection with the jewels and determined that all the victims had recently bought them at the department store. Getting a job at the store in his civilian identity, the Whizzer exposed Lens and Smythe, preventing them from putting on a sale that would have claimed many victims looking for a good bargain.[1]Attributes
