The Scarlet Widow was one of the few female master criminals faced by Superman on radio's The Adventures of Superman. A dangerous, greedy hag, described as gaunt and ugly, the Widow was often assisted by her Cockney henchman Sniggers. Her most significant act was the theft of Kryptonite from the Metropolis Museum, which she then split into four chunks. Unlike most of Superman's enemies, however, the pragmatic Widow had only profit rather than revenge in mind, by splitting the Kryptonite into chunks and auctioning it off to four of Superman's greatest (radio only) enemies: The Laugher, The Vulture, Papa Raush, and Der Teufel.

abstract	The Scarlet Widow was one of the few female master criminals faced by Superman on radio's The Adventures of Superman. A dangerous, greedy hag, described as gaunt and ugly, the Widow was often assisted by her Cockney henchman Sniggers. Her most significant act was the theft of Kryptonite from the Metropolis Museum, which she then split into four chunks. Unlike most of Superman's enemies, however, the pragmatic Widow had only profit rather than revenge in mind, by splitting the Kryptonite into chunks and auctioning it off to four of Superman's greatest (radio only) enemies: The Laugher, The Vulture, Papa Raush, and Der Teufel. The Widow's auction is complicated, however, when the prospective buyers insist on a demonstration. She arranges one, using it to subdue Superman, but in the confusion, Der Teufel steals a piece. This sets off a chain of events which would result in the creation of The Atom Man. The Widow is satisfied when she learns of Der Teufel's death ("the only man who ever double-crossed me"), however. Though two of the remaining three pieces have already been handed over to the Laugher and Vulture, one piece remains in trust for Papa Raush. Sidney, who has had past business dealings with the Widow, offers to buy the piece (and kill Papa Raush as well, to dispose of the rival claimant). The Widow agrees and plans to flee the country with Sniggers: "I've played a long and dangerous game, and I've won. Now I intend to leave the country -- safely -- with my money."
