Paul Booker was a petty thief on Earth-One, before accidentally stumbling upon the diary of Thomas Kalmaku, who was the best friend and coworker of Hal Jordan. Jordan's alter ego was Green Lantern, which the diary detailed along with the civilian identity of Hal's fellow Justice Leaguer, the Flash. Seeking to use this knowledge to his advantage, Booker employed scientists who devised a disaster device employed on his person whereby Paul as Major Disaster would expose and defeat the heroes. Booker had a mental block regarding Lantern's alter ego, thanks to his adversary's power ring induced suggestion, leading to Disaster becoming irrational at times. Booker later joined an Army of Crime defeated by Superman and Batman.
Jasper Crow was a powerful senator on Earth-Two whose crooked schemes were revealed when his pawn senator Thomas Wright was replaced by his lookalike following that politician's death. Wright's twin, a man born as Richard Gray Junior who was secretly the flying hero known as Black Condor, became Crow's arch-enemy. Defrocked from the Senate and on the run from the law, Crow allied himself with Nazi Germany and was given for his schemes machinery that caused disasters. Dressing his henchman as a robed skull faced frontman, the pair batttled Black Condor for a secret vitamin pill created by Grey's scientific colleague. Eventually during this last clash, Black Condor left Crow on a desolated plateau with the villain stark raving mad.
