In Fact "TB-Man" was around well before the Adriatic, prowling Tigger Terrace, Aardvark Alley and 2/5 deck at random. His side-kick, I do believe, was correctly called "Chilli Wine, The Boy Wonder".
Incidently, as one of a few honoured mortals who actually knows the secret identity of the original TB-Man, he happens to be a very successful 3 ringer now, on his way up the command chain!!!
So, evil doers beware.....................
