27ac,Hurtful as one of Gordon`s evil-doers (10)
Have 2 possible answers but cannot find reference anywhere,could any kind soul help me out.ans-MALE-ICENT thanks in advance.No help fortcoming in the other place lol.

Struggled over there with this....Maleficent seems right but how or who Gordon is, not sure.

Flash Gordon maybe ??

Or Gordon brown - I jest

Could it be general Gordon of Khartoum?

Solution seems to be MALEFICENT.
There is a novel by Caroline Gordon called THE MALEFACTORS (1956)--which is the best explanation of Gordon I've come across.

Thanx L P thats the best ref so far.submitted all correct ty all.
