Silver Agents #2 (Jul 1964)
"The Pride of Africa"
Iron Panther is the CEO of Panther Forge Industries, a world leader in robotics design and development. Her company brought in money from the world to her native Kenya, where several design, research, and manufacturing plants employed thousands of workers and helped maintain a successful economy.
Unbeknownst to her people, this successful businesswoman was also a criminal mastermind, using the resources of her company to further her desire for world domination. Although the founder and CEO, she rarely deals directly with the public or press, allowing her associates to be the face of the company.

When she learned of the large deposits of the nigh-indestructible material Impregnium in Kuala Lumpur, she attempted to clandestinely obtain it for use in the manufacture of her robotic weaponry. When the stealth approach failed, she attacked the mining site with her robots. The Silver Agents learned of this and eventually defeated her and her army of robotic panthers. They never learned of her true identity.
