Aunt Minerva was a crime boss who was stopped by Captain Marvel multiple times.
History
The future underworld leader "Aunt Minerva" first came to the attention of the heroes of New York City in the late 1940s, when she was being threatened by two members of a rival gang. The altercation was overheard by the magically-empowered Captain Marvel and his ally, Uncle Marvel, and the two men stepped in to send the mobsters packing. Minerva became instantly smitten with Uncle Marvel, and began scheming to make him her next husband, even as she also plotted to take over all gangland activity in the city. Ultimately, both of these aims were thwarted by Captain Marvel, and Minerva was sent to prison.
Since that time, Minerva reappeared several times and at each turn has been defeated by Captain Marvel. On one of these occasions, she worked alongside Doctor Sivana and IBAC, trying to marry the latter villain without success.[citation needed] In another encounter, Minerva put Sivana himself under the romantic power of her Magic Perfume.[1]

Powers and Abilities
Abilities
- Apparently elderly and seemingly frail, Minerva actually can yank an ordinary door off its hinges with one hand.[2]
- Chemistry: Aunt Minerva concoted a "magic perfume" which could supposedly make any man fall in love with her, although it was ineffective on both Captain Marvel and Billy Batson, it certainly put a whammy on Doctor Sivana.
Notes
