Ibac is a Fawcett Comics and DC Comics supervillain, a rival of Captain Marvel.
Ibac's alter-ego was Stanley "Stinky" Printwhistle, a crook who attempted to blow up a bridge, but was caught in the explosion. He was saved by Lucifer, who offered Printwhistle the chance to become a champion of evil in exchange for his mortal soul. Printwhistle accepted, and was told to speak the magic word "IBAC". He did so, and the frail, grey-haired criminal was transformed into Ibac, a brutal muscleman with a buzz cut. Saying "IBAC" again transformed Ibac back into Printwhistle. Because he never defeated Captain Marvel, Printwhistle was not obliged to give his soul to the devil, and has reformed, but being weak-willed was often forced by other criminals into becoming the evil Ibac again.
While Captain Marvel was empowered by six mythological and Biblical figures, Ibac was empowered by four of the most evil and terrifying men to ever have walked the earth: Ivan the Terrible, who supplied Terror, Cesare Borgia, who gave Ibac Cunning, Attila the Hun, who gifted him with Fierceness, and Caligula, the sponsor of Cruelty. Also, while Captain Marvel transformed using magic lightning bolts, Ibac's transformations were accomplished with the power of mystical green fire and brimstone.
Before the Crisis on Infinite Earths, Ibac was a common member of the Monster Society Of Evil, a team of Captain Marvel's greatest enemies. More recently, he has turned up in Villains United as a member of the Secret Society of Super Villains. Ibac recently appeared in the comic Secret Six, still in the Society, battling the second Ragdoll from the orders of the Society. Ragdoll escaped, leaving a wounded Ibac.
A similar villain, Sabbac, frequently battles Captain Marvel's partner, Captain Marvel, Jr.
