The Psycho-Pirate is the second villain to sport the name. Roger Hayden, sharing a jail cell with the Golden Age Psycho-Pirate was told of the Medusa mask that controls emotions. Escaping from prison, Hayden found the mask and attacked JSA members Dr Fate and Hourman. During the Crisis, Harbinger recruited Hayden to fight the Anti-Monitor. Instead, he joined him. The Psycho-Pirate is the only man to remember the Crisis as it really happened. The Psycho-Pirate first appeared in Showcase #56 in June 1965.
CRISIS ACTION FIGURE: PSYCHO PIRATE (Jul 2005)
Likeness
The figure is a mimic of the Psycho-Pirate as he appeared in the mini-series Crisis on the Infinite Earths drawn by George Perez. Unlike the Silver Age version, he sports a large cape with a collar. Psycho-Pirate’s face looks like a Perez illustration but it is not overstated.Sculpt
The sculpt by John G. Mathews is fine and reminiscent of all the Silver Age action figures Tim Bruckner sculpted in the past. Psycho-Pirate’s body is not overtly muscular, although he looks fit. His face looks confident as if he were about to manipulate an opponent. He also looks older and with tired features. His hands are in a grappling position. The masks are painted on the figure instead of being engraved.
