Xan was an alien who revived the Composite Superman, a villain originally known as custodianJoe Meach. Joe was a former stuntmen and current employee of the Superman Museum. Meach gained the powers of several members from the Legion of Super-Heroes when they were transferred to him via a bolt of lightning that stuck miniatured statuettes of the team.
These were created in the 30th century using a duplicator ray and given to Superboy as momentous. Superman, Batman and Robin defeated Xan, who succeeded Meach as Composite Superman after Meach’s death while protecting the World’s Finest Heroes from their alien adversary.
The Composite Men’s predecessor was a frog-like alien who while visiting Earth-One observed both Batman and Superman in action, and decided to emulate them when he returned to his home world. Becoming Super-Batman, he used his shape-shifting powers to strike terror in his foes.
On Earth-Two, a Nazi scientist and spymaster named Zoltan founded Zoltan's Wax Museum, and used it as a front to store and transport captured intellectuals from America. This process involved encasing each man in a waxy substance which placed each person exposed to the process into suspended animation, so that when revived each scientist would retain their mental capabilities that would be exploited by the German government. Superman, Batman and Robin tracked Zoltan down, defeating him and freeing his hostages, who resumed their normal lives.
Years later, an unidentified museum guard at Zoltan's Wax Museum grew insane, emulating various historical figures displayed such as Attila the Hun, Captain Kidd, Cesare Borgia, Genghis Khan, Goliath and Nero. Through some unspecified means, perhaps due to Zoltan's experimental waxing process, the guard gained abilities from each of the characters while wearing their costumes. The Justice Society battled each of his personas, which ultimately led to the guard’s death.
