The Mole Man as he appears in Fantastic Four #1 (1961)

The Moleman is a villain of the Fantastic Four.  He lives on Monster Isle where he is the master of the Mole People as well as the monsters of Monster Isle.  

Character History[]

Mocked and neglected by those of the surface world, the Moleman decided to go off on his own in search of a the legendary land at the center of the Earth where he believed he could be king.  After months of searching, the Moleman accidentally stumbled upon Monster Isle when his skiff washed ashore.  He found the entrance to the center of the earth and when a cave-in caused the Moleman to lose most of his sight he became stranded.  The Moleman mastered the underground creatures and they helped him build his empire.  

When the Fantastic Four track a series of tremors to Monster Isle, they find the Moleman and his monsters.  Believing he has the upper hand, the Moleman reveals his plans to destroy Earth's power plants and then send his creatures to destroy everything on the surface world.  The Fantastic Four manage to escape the underground empire and seal the entrance seemingly "forever," leaving the Moleman and his monsters trapped below the surface.  

Powers[]

His lack of eyesight has given the Moleman hightened senses.  He can sense things in the dark like a mole.  He has a natural radar sense, like a bat, that warns him of danger that may strike him.
