Reading more comics.
So, the thing is, I think that if you are a Nazi scientist and you are making a super-adhesive that you are planning to somehow weaponize and use against the Allied forces* and then you accidentally end up sticking what appears to be a badly-knitted pink stocking cap to your face with Nazi Crazy Glue and haven't managed to get it off decades later, then I really don't have to take you seriously as a supervillain. Because you are clearly incompetent.
I was kinda hoping that got retconned to something less ridiculous later but I checked wikipedia and no, apparently not. Oh, comics, what the hell?
*Which is considerably more ridiculous than your standard run-of-the-mill comicbook villain plan, I have to say. I mean, this is plastic daffodils levels of ridiculous.
