Bugsy Kidnap (Original)

Bugsy Kidnap's original design as seen in the book series.

Bugsy is a primary antagonist in Tintin in America. He runs a business in Chicago called Kidnap Inc., which operates in an old abandoned castle. He first appeared when one of his accomplices returned to the base with their latest hostage Snowy. But little do they know Tintin followed the accomplice to the base and hid in a suit of armor and knocked out Bugsy and two of his accomplices. Tintin then grabbed the prison keys from him and went down to free Snowy.

But he then regained consciousness and sent some of his men to bring Tintin to him. After realizing his men have failed to capture him, an Tintin had him cornered, he made his escape by falling through a trapdoor himself.

He then calls in one of his allies Maurice Oyle, who runs a company called Grynde to get rid of Tintin.

Oyle called Kidnap to inform him about his failure to assassinate Tintin, and Kidnap, enraged, told him that the $5,000 will be forgotten after hearing that news.

Then he heard from Oyle again (not knowing that it was actually Tintin), to come into his office for 5 minutes. He came into his office, but Oyle was surprised to see him. Oyle was trying to tell him he didn't call him anyway, and as a result, Kidnap knocked him out, accusing Oyle for prank calling him, when in fact he didn't.

Tintin appeared next to him, disguised himself as a butler which he snuck into his office, and picks up his pistol and tries to get him to give in. Kidnap told him that the the gun is empty, and when Tintin tried to pull the trigger, that was the case. Then Kidnap uses his cane sword and tries to stab Tintin a few times but ends up stabbing Snowy in the tail. Tintin then ties him and Oyle up and takes them to to the police.
