The Ultra-Humanite is a fiendish mad scientist, hopelessly paralyzed
from the waist down and confined to a wheelchair, whose great goal
is the domination of the Earth. Portrayed as nearly bald in two
texts (Action Comics #13 and #19), and as completely bald in
two others (#14 and #17), he is a mental giant, the head of
a vast ring of evil enterprises, whose fiery eyes burn with terrible hatred and
sinister intelligence.
His real name is never stated in the chronicles, but he has been known
as the Ultra-Humanite - "Ultra" for short - ever since a scientific
experiment resulted in his possessing the most agile and learned brain
on Earth.
"Unfortunately for mankind," proclaims the villain in June 1939, "I prefer
to use this great intellect for crime. My goal? DOMINATION OF THE
WORLD!!"
