[Harvey Rupert Elder]

First Avengers
Appearance: Avengers V1 #12 (Jan 1965)
As
an American scientist and explorer, Rupert Elder was shunned and ridiculed for
his appearance, personality and eccentric theories regarding a hollow Earth.
While trying to escape society, Elder discovered his subterranean world and
when he also discovered a race of intelligent but mute and obedient inhabitants
he crowned himself king of the underworld taking on the name Mole Man.
Primarily a recurring opponent of the Fantastic Four, Mole Man has crossed
paths with anyone who trespasses, invades or threatens his world. In addition
to his Moloid servants Mole Man can control a variety of subterranean creatures
often huge in size and referred to as monsters by the surface world. Over time
Mole Man has found himself in battle with The Avengers, the Avengers West
Coast, and The Mighty Avengers. He also provided his Monster Isle as a home
base for Adam Warlock and his Infinity Watch team.
