Powers/Abilities: A seemingly ordinary man, Morgo was highly skilled at hypnotism--by simply making eye-contact and using the lulling sound of his voice, he could place an individual into a trance.

Morgo once used a projected movie of himself to perform mass-hypnosis, and thus placed a large crowd (including himself) into a trance.

History:
(Amazing Adult Fantasy#8/3) - The past of Edward Morgo is largely unrevealed, but he eventually used his hypnotic skills to perform on stage. Although his act was successful, Morgo decided to use his talent to make himself a fortune by robbery, and he came up with a scheme to commit the perfect crime.

   Using a movie camera, Morgo filmed himself commanding viewers to enter a trance, then awaken later, with no memory of what had occurred.

   Morgo went to a movie theater, sneaked into the projection room, and replaced the regular feature with his own film; then Morgo seated himself in the darkened auditorium, as his prerecorded speech began to play--when the audience members became entranced, Morgo intended to steal their valuables while they slept. On the movie screen appeared an extreme close-up of Morgo's eyes, and his recorded voice compelled the audience members to fall asleep... asleep... asleep...

This 3-page story--The Eyes of Edward Morgo--was basically just a retelling of of an earlier story--Beware the Eyes of Igor!--from Tales of Suspense I#11 (September, 1960).

Strangely enough, the third page of this story is numbered 5--maybe it was originally done as a 5-pager, but it had to be edited down to fit in the allotted space for this issue.

Morgo's mastery of mesmerism seemed to be far greater than conventional hypnotists--maybe he was really a mutant, or supernaturally-empowered.

Maybe that movie theater Morgo tried to rob was the Bijou, where the criminal hypnotist Miracle Man later animated the Monster from Mars statue.

A cinema located somewhere in America, it was where hypnotist Edward Morgo planned to rob the entire audience by placing them all in a trance.

Earlier, Morgo had filmed himself reciting his hypnotic commands, then he went to the theater and replaced the regular feature with his own film.

Afterward, Morgo joined the audience and seated himself in the main auditorium, while he waited for his plan to take effect; but Morgo himself fell victim to his own scheme.

At a cinema located somewhere in America, they were the multitude of patrons (none identified) who went to see an unspecified movie.

But instead of the main feature, they would see a film made by hypnotist Edward Morgo, which put them all in a trance--Morgo intended to rob them of their valuables while they slept.

When Morgo's film ended and the lights came on, the audience members awoke, with no memory of what had transpired.

 The people--still in possession of their valuables--filed out of the theater, unaware that Edward Morgo was sitting amongst them--Morgo had fallen victim to his own scheme, and had been hypnotized by his film as well!
