Dick Tracy Villains

[Capt. Kirk]

Based on the cartoon, TV cartoon and the movie. And of course I tried to let them look as Lego-ish as possible... wasn't always easy. Hope you like them...

Alphonse "Big Boy" Caprice (1931) - Thug/Crime boss, after numerous attempts to kill Tracy, Caprice and Tracy go one-on-one alone after Buddy Rogers' rescue, and Caprice, who is exposed as a cowardly thug who hides behind Hired guns, gets the worst of it. Briefly escapes after associate Boss Jim Herrod is killed but recaptured again after writer Jean Penfield survives being almost killed by Big Boy's associate Jimmy White. Years after being caught and imprisoned by Dick Tracy for kidnapping Buddy Rogers, Caprice dies raging with only one wish unfulfilled-to kill and outlive Dick.

Note: Played by Al Pacino in the 90s film.

B.B. Eyes (1942) - Tire bootlegger, kidnapper, and head of car and truck thieves who killed Patrolman O'Malley and tried to kill Dick Tracy and Pat Patton; trying to escape from the police he drowns in garbage scow and ends up on bottom of bay trapped in an old tire.

The Brow (1944) - Stereotype Sadistic German spy ring master who captured the "Summer Sisters" and tried to blackmail them into working for him by alternating torturing one sister and forcing the other sister to collect his spy reports. One sister shot both of his henchmen yet the Brow escaped; he later killed both sisters and a cab driver and ended up fleeing into the welcome arms of "Gravel Girty". Tracked down, beaten up in hand to hand combat by Tracy before being arrested, Brow was later involved in another fight with Tracy in which Brow fell through a window and is impaled on a flagpole.
