Actually, my username would be shortened to Shasta. The B24 is a separate element (but it's not named after the plane).
I first read about Jack-in-Irons in Brian Froud's Fairies. At the time, I had a supervillain who was a giant, who I had named Gargantuine (long i, not short, which I still don't understandwhy I did). He was kind of my "big bad" (in more ways than one), but I realized that dynamically he was lacking and he couldn't hurt to have a retool. So, I saw Jack-in-Irons and thought he was perfect, and switching from Gargantuine to Jack-in-Irons would make a better villain, anyways. Since then, he has dropped in significance to the plot (I have another one I consider the "big bad", and that's part of a bit of a mystery seeded into the books). Still, I have a lot of fantasy influence in my books, which seems to be what I gravitate towards.
But villains are great. I've found that one of my stoies I had to write was a short little villain story for one of the complete monster types. Maybe it's just in showing how despicable the characters can be, to make the audience want to see this person be destroyed.
