The android Brainiac studied various criminals held in the prison planet of Kronis, including one known only as the Insect Master. This crook adopted various weaponry patterned after insects,, and asked for Brainiac's aid in escaping Kronis, which was declined.
The golden age Insect Master was initially a threat to the citizens of Metropolis, until he faced Earth-Two's Superman who was more than a match for this malevolent madman. After a brief battle, this sinister scientist succumbed to his own treachery, losing his life*.
* The sole appearance of Insect Master in June 1943 was a year after Ultra-Humanite last appeared. It is quite possible that Ultra kidnapped and implanted his mind in the scientist who became Insect Master, using that man’s research to further his criminal goals.
