FUN FACTS
"Stinky" Printwhistle's first name was not revealed until SHAZAM! #29.
The Fawcett Universe
Prince Lucifer brings forth the mighty Ibac — The King of Evil!
"Captain Marvel and The Curse of Ibac"
Scrawny "Stinky" Printwhistle had planted a bomb to blow up an oncoming train and
loot it.
Captain Marvel prevented the
attack and threw Printwhistle from the train bridgeto the rocks below! Printwhistle
faced certain death but was saved at the last minute by
Prince Lucifer. The devil struck a bargain with Stinky. If Printwhistle
agreed to give up his immortal soul, he would be granted the power of four of the
most evil men who have ever lived:
Ivan
the Terrible,
Borgia,
Attila the Hun, and
Caligula! By saying the acronym "IBAC" (formed from the initials
of the fearsome foursome), Printwhistle transformed into the mighty Ibac in a conflaguration
of green flame. Where Stinky once stood, a man of immeasurable power had taken his
place.

The doltish Ibac is tricked into saying his magic word and instantly reverts to
his human guise of 'Stinky' Printwhistle.
"Crisis in Eternity!"
Ibac, in his alter ego of Stanley 'Stinky' Printwhistle, was one of the many residents
of Captain Marvel's home town to be trapped in Dr. Sivana's dastardly Suspendium
globe. Not long after his twenty year hibernation, Printwhistle was seduced by his
evil pantheon into once again transforming into the brutish Ibac.
Ibac joined with the villainous King Kull is a bid to re-conquer the lost continent
of Atlantis. Ibac stood with Blockbuster and the Penquin of Earth-One and battled
Spy Smasher, Superman, Wonder Woman and Green Arrow. The quick thinking Spy Smasher
was able to trick the doltish Ibac into saying his own name which caused the green
flames to consume and transform Ibac back into his mortal guise of 'Stinky' Printwhistle.
Post-Crisis On Infinite Earths
Ibac returned in the DC Universe as a muscle-man under the control of Aunt Minerva,
also known as Lady M. He was easily defeated by Captain Marvel.

burned when the Parademon member of the Secret Six blew himself up, using Apokoliptikan
technology. Ibac survived but hasn't been seen since.
