History: (Green Lantern I #9) - Venus O'Mylo was a star of the stage in the 1880s, but after retirement she turned to crime, forming a mob in the 1940s' because she loved the finer things in life. Green Lantern and Doiby Dickles stopped the Venus O'Mylo mob from robbing a perfume factory, but when Doiby got a look at Venus' unmasked face he fell head over heels in love with her. Against his better instincts he followed her summons to return to her hideout. Her rob targeted the Morgan Library for valuable art,a nd she told Doiby to take out GL when he arrived. Doiby picked up a wooden boomerang, but couldn't bring himself to use it on his pal, so he tossed it out a window. Unfortunately it came back and knocked out GL. Venus and her gang made their getaway, and she again insisted that Doiby follow her. She plied Doiby with champagne, and he was about to spill GL's weakness as wood when GL busted in. GL defeated the mob and revealed that Venus was a senior citizen who used a mask and darkened rooms to feign beauty.
