Mr. K. was a spy, a foreign agent working for a government antagonistic to the United States. It is quite possible that Mr. K. was subtly intended to be a Communist spy, but there is not enough support for this assessment to declaratively classify him as a Communist.
Mr. K. purchased a dangerous compund from Molney, a compound that he intended to use as a weapon. Oddly enough, Molney and Mr. K. appear to have the same loyalties - to the same foreign government or perhaps to the same foreign ideology - but they didn't work directly with each other. Mr. K. had to pay Molney for the compound his gang tested and provided to him. Both were gleeful at the prospect of using it to harm millions of Americans and take over cities. But Mr. K. was clearly a "customer" of Mulney's and not part of the same gang or foreign spy hierarchy.
Batman referred to Mr. K. as a "phony diplomat.
