Now, Buck, you yourself shall tell me the way through the cordon. A little toasting over hot coals may persuade you.

Killer Kane, to Buck Rogers

Major Coe "Killer" Kane was an American master criminal of the 25th century. He was known for his various exploits and schemes against the re-awakened 20th century hero Buck Rogers. After betraying the American Orgs in a bid to kill Rogers, Kane became an agent of the Mongols against the Federation.

Betrayal of the Orgs[]

Meeting Buck Rogers[]

Rogers and Kane duel - Buck Rogers - The Duel - 1 March 1929

Kane and Buck Rogers duel with weapons of their choice

You'll either keep away from Wilma or fight me!

Killer Kane, to Buck Rogers

Kane was stationed with the Columbus Orgzone when Buck Rogers carried the hurt Wilma Deering, his old sweetheart, into the outpost. Visiting Wilma in the hospital, Kane asked her how she had injured herself and who Rogers was. When both men were outside, Kane threatened Rogers to either leave her alone or to fight him. Rogers accepted.[1]

Both men were allowed to pick their own weapons; when Rogers arrived at the duelling ring with a rifle and bayonet, Kane dismissed it as a toy.[2] While Kane had arrived on-scene with a weapon of his own design, he was quickly defeated by Rogers' superior combat speed. Wilma arrived after Kane's defeat, and dismissed Rogers as a brute.[3] A spy within the Orgzone tipped off the Mongols that Deering was in the Org,[4] and she was subsequently kidnapped by men dispatched by the Mongol Viceroy of Chicago.[5]

Final Org Service[]

After Rogers made a nearly deadly trip through the Arizona desert, Rogers made a deal with Nunah of the Navajo Orgzone to infiltrate Los Angeles.[6] After Rogers managed to free Deering, she escaped from the city alongside Kane in his plane, leaving Rogers behind.[7] Kane had trailed Rogers all the way to the Orgzone, and had come to pick up Deering after Nuna and Lone Wolf had radiophoned news of her rescue.[8]

... I got Magee to outlaw that dirty Mongol spy, Rogers.

Killer Kane, to Wilma Deering

At Kane's urging,[9] Rogers was convicted by the Navajos as a traitor and a deserter and sentenced to become an outlaw.[10] Deering opted to become an outlaw herself to seek out Rogers.[11] When she travelled to the Navajo Orgzone in search of Rogers, Kane followed her. She rejected his romantic overtones.[12] Kane angrily mused to himself that he wouldn't let anyone else have Deering, giving her enough time to take off in a plane and fly away.[13] Kane could not immediately follow, as Nunah had sabotaged his plane. Kane, however, caught up with Deering, and rammed her plane with his own to knock her out of the cockpit and let her fall to her death.[14] Rogers managed to drope her a rope while she fell through the sky, and Kane flew in close pursuit of their plane.[15] After Rogers managed to evade Kane's attacks, Kane put out an alarm requesting aid. Planes from the Vancouver, Seattle, Columbus, and Oakland Orgzones were dispatched to intercept.[16] Rogers landed his plane to escape from the air cordon.[17]

Treason[]

I am Major Kane of the enemy forces. Make me a squadron commander and I will find the American Beauty for you. Wilma spurned me and I seek revenge. Hence forth I will be a Mongol.

Killer Kane, pledging allegiance to the Mongol Emperor.

Having been spurned by Deering, Kane travelled to Los Angeles,[18] where he met with the Mongol Emperor. After pledging his allegiance to the Emperor, Kane explained his motivations and declared that he would capture Deering for the oppressive tyrant. News of this reached MacGregor of the Toronto Orgzone.[19]

In service of the Red Mongols[]

Attack on the Outlaws[]

Killer Kane ducks and flees - Buck Rogers - MacGregor Takes Command - 11 May 1929

Killer Kane and his men retreat under the defensive weapons fire from the Outlaws.

Immediately after MacGregor's arrival, Mongol troops under Kane's command were already preparing for an attack. MacGregor and Rogers attempted to follow the Mongol airship in the former's rocket ship, but were immediately spotted; manned fighters were deployed.[20] After a brief skirmish and escape,[21] the Mongols returned to their carrier. Mongol infantrymen parachuted out of the carrier,[22] carrying death ray projectors to engage Buck Rogers' Outlaws on foot. The Outlaws had concealed themselves in the rocky terrain,[23] leaving the Mongol forces vulnerable. Kane, who had been leading them, was forced to duck and retreat alongside his men under a wave of weapons fire.[24] The Mongol cruiser was forced to land to retrieve Kane and his men, leaving it vulnerable to an attack by MacGregor's air forces. The cruiser was destroyed and the battle lost.[25] However, Kane had not yet been captured. Rogers' Outlaws deployed their Flying Cavalry in search of Kane,[26] spotting him and quickly capturing him. Kane asked for the dignity of a soldier's death, preferring to be shot rather than hanged, but MacGregor spared his life and ordered him to deliver a message to the Emperor.[27] Kane delivered the message to the Emperor, explaining the nature of the newly expanded Federation. With the knowledge that every Canadian Orgzone as well as every American Orgzone east of St. Louis had united into a single polity, the Emperor chose to temporarily accept the truce before promising the destruction of the Federation.[28]

Niagara Espionage[]

After gaining the trust of Om-Ka-Zoril of the Golden Dragons, Rogers and Deering returned to Niagara,[29] only to discover that a general had been killed, a colonel was missing, the Federation's treaty with the Navajo Orgzone had disappeared, and newly-designed weapons plans had been stolen. After they left MacGregor's office, an assassin attempted to kill the pair.[30] Rogers chased the Mongol assassin to a residential district of Buffalo,[31] where he was captured and delivered before the spy chief - Kane himself.[32] Needing a method of escaping the city now that their cover had been blown, Kane opted to torture Rogers by placing his feet in hot coals. Wong, secretly a member of the Golden Dragons,[33] was charged with placing the coals underneath Rogers' feet. Wong used the fearful screams of another spy to delay placing the coals beneath Rogers' feet,[34] before dropping the brazier on Kane's foot, feigning an accident.[35] Kane's continued attempt to torture Rogers forced Wong's hand, and he was exposed as a spy.[36] Kane defeated Wong before being throttled by Rogers,[37] and managed to re-capture Rogers with the help of his agents.[38] While Kane reassured police officers that nothing was the matter, Wong and Rogers quietly made their escape.[39] Rogers tried to alert the police,[40] but Kane and his spies had already swiftly fled from their apartment. Rogers and the police found Lanlu and two of Kane's men in the street,[41] but were forced to scatter in search of the rest. Rogers quickly caught up with Kane, but was distracted by a smoke bomb,[42] allowing Kane to make good his escape. Rogers returned to Deering's apartment and attempted to contact Om-Ka-Zoril in the hopes that he would have information about Kane, but the two of them were put under arrest by military police.[43] While both sides explained themselves to each other, Kane and Lanlu approached Deering's apartment.[44] Believing it to be a trap, Kane threw another smoke bomb and escaped, abandoning Lanlu.[45]

On the Run in Niagara[]

After getting permission from the Radio Censorship Bureau to contact Om-Ka-Zoril for information, Rogers began searching for Kane by searching for evidence of a false identity, starting by attempting to discover the whereabouts of "Jones", a synthetic food distributor.[46] While Rogers was coming up empty in his search for "Jones", Kane stole plans for a new super-robot.[47] By seducing the secretary of the manager of the Steel-Fingers Plant, Kane had learned of the of the completion of the plans. Unable to crack the safe, Kane instead stole a remote control box for an Iron Man robot.[48] The next morning, Kane used the robot to break through the safe and steal the plans,[49] easily fighting off[50] and outrunning the police.[51] While Kane studied the plans, Rogers used a duplicate control box built by the company to assert control over the robot, forcing it to attack Kane.[52] Kane could prevent the robot from attacking by using his own control box, but if he were to waver the robot would capture him.[53] Kane resisted the efforts of Rogers and the plant manager for over four hours,[54] but was eventually overcome by fatigue and captured. No longer able to resist, Kane was delivered to G.H.Q..[55]

Freedom[]

After the Celestial Mogul recognised "Free America" and promised perpetual peace, putting an end to four centuries of colonial rule over North America, both the Mongol Emperor and Kane were freed, the latter by mistake. Kane planned to pledge allegiance to the Viceroy of Chicago.[56]

Free Agent[]

Synthetic Gold Plot[]

After the defeat of radio-controlled ships from another world, Kane sent a message in secret code to Deering, telling her to contact banker William Vandeer if she wished to see him.[57] It took Herby Swipe, demon reporter, to decode the note.[58] After following the note to Vandeer's office,[59] Buck, Swipe and Wilma met, however, Wyn Winters interceded.[60] Winters ordered Wilma to leave, and she complied before Vandeer entered his office.[61] After a brief argument between the four men, Kane entered the room.[62] Kane quickly fled the room with Winters on his tail. Rogers decided to follow Vandeer instead, believing it'd lead him to Kane more easily.[63] Rogers held onto Vandeer's flyabout while the banker flew to Kane's hideout.[64][65] Kane was waiting in a clearing for Vandeer's flyabout when one of his henchmen noticed a shape drop from the vehicle.[66] Hearing a crash in the bushes behind them, they attempted to find the source of the noise,[67] but were unsuccessful.[68] Kane and Vandeer argued over the appearance of Rogers and Winters in Vandeer's office,[69] before discussing their true plan: to create synthetic gold and create havoc in the world markets. Vandeer would offer a formula for the gold to the President at the latter's country home, taking money for it and departing, following which Kane would arrive and steal the formula from the President.[70] Kane bid adieu to Vandeer while the undetected Buck Rogers once again stowed away aboard Vandeer's flyabout.[71]

Killer Kane never played straight with anyone – It'll be easier for him to rob Vandeer than the government – He's a scientific crook too...

–Buck Rogers, predicting that Kane would betray William Vandeer[72]

The night of the handoff, Kane instead waited in a flyabout above Vandeer's home, planning to instead steal the formula from Vandeer. Kane rendered Vandeer unconscious from his flyabout, before sending a robot to retrieve the formula.[73] However, Buck Rogers had been waiting in the shadows and destroyed the robot.[74] Kane leapt from his flyabout to attack Rogers, but was knocked out with a single punch. Winters and Deering arrived on the scene,[75] but Rogers, fed up with the pair, captured them alongside the unconscious Kane and Vandeer. He tied up the three men with a rope and dangled them from the end of Kane's flyabout, and flew them all to the President's home, turning over the criminals and the formula.[76]
