Doctor Clever was the arch-enemy of Johnny Quick, second fastest man on Earth-Two. Employing various scientific schemes like his counterpart to outwit his opponents, including various weaponry including: a ray gun, poison air gun and gas gun. Clever also tapped into the extra-dimensional speed force, which imbued his own henchman with superhuman abilities to face off against Johnny Quick in a brazen crime wave. Clever's various forays into felony failed despite multiple attempts to use gadgets and schemes versus his fleet-footed foe.
There was also the Getaway Genius, Roy Reynolds, who operated contemporaneous to the Getaway Mastermind. Reynolds was a renowned robber who ascertained the secret to success versus Earth-One's Dynamic Duo. Instead of trying to slay them, as other villains had attempted doing for years, he would simply outwit them by escaping their grasp. To that end, as the Getaway Genius, Reynolds had a series of confrontations with Batman and Robin, and while he alone would've been successful, sadly those he worked with did not believe in his methods, which led to his capture repeatedly.
Then there was the formerly well regarded newsman Scoop Scanlon, who had several tales as an Action Ace recorded in the 1930's before he worked for Gotham City's Vue magazine. Having fallen on hard times, he felt that his way back to prominence was in proving that Bruce Wayne was Batman, as he suspected. However, Batman and Robin tricked Scanlon into doubting this premise, and he gave up his pursuit.
