Mister Who was an enemy of Doctor Fate.

History

The mysterious Mister Who was born a cripple and was teased by other kids while growing up. He worked hard and by the early 1940s he had become a brilliant scientist, but due to his bitterness from years of abuse, he developed into a criminal mastermind. While capable of great scientific achievements, he always used them in the pursuit of petty thefts. He created Solution Z, a formula based on adaptive creatures, which empowered him with a whole suite of super powers, including phasing, invisibility, shape-shifting, size-shifting, limb-regeneration, amphibianism, and youth.

Mister Who's criminal exploits earned him the attention of Doctor Fate, who tracked him to his laboratory by following the trail of a stolen museum painting. Mister Who entrapped Doctor Fate by forcing him to fight a giant spider, but Fate persevered and defeated Who, seemingly killing him. Mister Who survived however and returned to plague Doctor Fate on at least two more occasions. He then went on to become a member of Mister Mind's Monster Society of Evil.
