Kent is still closest. Hint: The character in question has a codename that might be mistaken for his real name.

Johnny Double? Jonathan Sebastian is his real name, so after Johann Sebastian von Drey? I might be stretching here.

Nope.
Though you're kind of close in a much different way than Kent.

New clue:
The character makes an appearance in New Frontier.

And Cobie is right.
Johnny Thunder's real name is John Stuart Mill Tane.
Now, why would a Western hero be named after a British philosopher? It actually makes a bit of sense, given that a) John Tane was born in a Mormon settlement, b) Tane's mother was a schoolteacher, and c) John Stuart Mill's On Liberty contains a few paragraphs condemning the persecution of Mormons.

Oh wow, I didn't check in for awhile and didn't realize I finally got it right! Naturally, my New Frontier knowledge helped me out.
My question:
Superman was the first protagonist at DC to have a recurring nemesis in his feature, which was the Ultra-Humanite. Who was the second protagonist to have a nemesis who recurred (meaning an enemy who returned for a 2nd appearance), and to show off how smart you really are, who was that nemesis?

^ Do you mean 'who was that nemesis' since the first part of the question is already asking us who the protagonist was?
The Golden Age is not my forte so wild stab in the dark - Crimson Avenger and the Dummy?

I'm sure this is too obvious to be correct, but...Batman and Joker?

The Golden Age is not my forte so wild stab in the dark - Crimson Avenger and the Dummy? Yes. I must still be hungover from last Friday. So far: all wrong. Great guesses though! You'll notice my questions are usually the Golden Age stuff since you guys are too freaking good and answer all my other questions in like 2 minutes.

Anyway, Captain America and the Red Skull weren't introduced until '41, well after many of the other guesses!

I agree, by the way, that Sarky's probably right, after researching Doctor Death. Even though he only appeared in consecutive issues of Detective Comics (29 & 30) before disappearing for over 40 years, DD qualifies as having had a second appearance. Unless Cobie has someone else who trumps this.

Hmm... I thought there were couple of issue between DD's appearances. It's been awhile since I've read the Batman Archives, but I'm sure he's the first recurring Batman villain, and appeared before most of DC's other heroes, so he sounds likely.

DD was indeed Batman's first re-occurring enemy.
Detective #27: Batman's first appearance. #28: The jewel thieves story. #29-30: Doctor Death. #31-32: The Monk and Dala.
