Glitch was a member of an alien race affectionately called gremlins given their small stature and mischievous manners. Adept at mechanic engineering, they were in actuality minions of a gigantic race that tried to invade Earth-One, and instead allied themselves with Wonder Woman in overthrowing their oppressive overlords. While his people returned to the stars, Glitch remained and became a sidekick of sorts with Colonel Steve Trevor, aiding him and Wonder Woman in adventures.
Ixnayalpay was the leader of the sinister Squiffles, also from space, who were themselves identified as a type of gremlin race. Allied with Hitler and his German forces, they attempted conquest of Earth-Two. The malevolent Isnayalpay was Glitch's cosmic twin.
However, they were opposed by Superman, who had himself recruited an equally mechanically adept race or orange skinned Gremlins to combat their green skinned cousin. To that end, the Man of Steel and his miniature allies were able to defeat the Squiffles. Ixnayalpay merged with Hitler, who has twice before battles Superman’s Justice Society colleagues and would face then one final time in 1945 when the dictator died. These three encounters (along with three others by fellow dictator Vandal Savage) mirrored the six battles between Ixnayalpay’s counterpart Kanjar Ro versus the Justice League of Earth-One.
The doppelgängers to the gremlins on Earth-One was the Elevans, some of whom dressed as the Bat-Knights, representing their warrior class. When a criminal named Eddie Gordon found the means to mentally control these tiny troopers, he used them for his amoral activists. He, and they, were opposed by the mighty mite known as Atom, who freed the Bat-Knights and became their ally, at least until later conflicts with them.
