Who is Mr. Mind?

Pre-Crisis On a distant world dwelt a race of weak-eyed subterranean worms. One of them was born a mutant with a mighty brain, far superior to his fellows, yet was unable to make use of his mental powers because of his small size and lack of hands. This was the future Mr. Mind. An exiled alien came to that plane to set up a scientific laboratory. Mr Mind discovered he could transfer his own mentality temporarily into this being, and he used the lab to create his glasses, voice amplifier and other equipment. Among these was a trans-dimensional radio with which he could pick up broadcasts from more than one Earth. He decided to visit Earth-2 , hoping first to meet those whose broadcasts had amused him - then to enlist the powers of the Justice Society into his service as the first in a society of conquest.
