The Octopus was a criminal mastermind who wore headgear that resembled an octopus. He kidnapped Rosalie Brown, Comics McCormick's girlfriend, in order to acquire her wishing ring. Comics infiltrated the Octopus' hideout using an invisibility pill. He then grabbed a war club in the Octopus' office and knocked out his henchmen. The Octopus who was terrified of an enemy he could no see tried to escape with Rosalie. Comics then took a visibility pill and then confront the villain by smacking him in the head with the war club. However, when Comics tried to remove the villains's mask the Octopus escaped through a trap door which lead to the river.
