Regulator aka Barnabas Boulton. Earthworm aka Herbert Hynde. Two supervillians that gained control over vermin in their cities. And also masters of manimal mutations.
Boulton was a research scientist at S.T.A.R. Labs in Metropolis on Earth-One that developed a helmet allowing him to mind control rats and other creatures of their type. Although originally conceived as a means to clean up the living conditions of Suicide Slum in the city, this device ended up turning him insane. Developing the alter ego of the Regulator, Barnabas used a mutation ray to enlarge various creatures which he used to attack the inhabitants of Metropolis. The Justice League and Black Lightning defeated the Regulator, who accidentally fell to his death during the final battle.
Hynde was a sinister baby trafficer who used his mutant ability to control rats and like vermon, as well as his own mutated body which allowed him to contort his body to escape capture. His nefarious network in the sewers of Earth-Two's Gotham City was thwarted by the Huntress of the Justice Society, after the two squared off on a couple of occasions.What became of Earthworm following this is unknown.
