Professor Ojo was the son of prominent atomic scientist Manuel Ojo, who ended up contaminating his own genes from the radiaion, and those of his future son. In the Professor's case, it resulted in his being born without an eye, although he inherited something else from his father...his intellect. Devising a cybernetic eye, Ojo sought to rid the world of atomic energy through terrorist networks. This brought him into conflict with first Richard Dragon and Benjamin Turner, then later the dynamic duo of Green Lantern and Green Arrow of Earth-One. With his floating eye, he could send it after his prey as it projects heat blasts, magnetic pulses and crippling darkness towards his adversaries.
The Eye was a mysterious entity with mind control abilities that faced Robotman of Earth-Two. When the hero finally defeated the villain, he discovered that the Eye was really a special effect masquerading the true cultprit, Doctor Benton of Hillside Hospital, who ran a racket to extort money from individuals in fake hit and run accidents that he orchestrated from behind the scenes. Once he was discovered, rather than go to prison, Benton committed suicide.
