From "Captain Marvel, Jr. Struggles With Sabbac", by Otto Binder and Al Carreno, Captain Marvel Jr. #4 (February 1943)
First appearance of Sabbac! Like the Marvel Family, he has a fun acronym to say so he can be lent super-powers. The twist? Instead of Greek gods and legendary heroes, his patrons are all names for the devil! And they evidently ran out! "Any" gives him an indestructible body! Azrael was right there, guys. (They would later retcon this to "Aym".)
And, I mean, they didn't HAVE to call him Sabbac. It could have been anything. Maybe find all your demons FIRST and then retro-engineer a name!
