Sinister Super Sensory Syndicate Substitutes

In a bid to catch the leaders of the Big Four Syndicate, the World’s Greatest Heroes of Earth-One hatched a scheme whereby Superman is seemingly murdered by the alien pirate named Motan. Before perishing, Superman made a will that bequeathed his essential organs to his most worthy successful, the Batman. Rather than have these surgically inserted into his human body, Batman keeps them in his possession until Lex Luthor steals them. Implanting them in the Syndicate’s Big Four gang chiefs, each one receives a different superpower: hands for super strength, eyes for heat vision, ears for enhanced hearing, and lungs for powerfully frigid breathe. However, these were artificial powers from an android duplicate of Nim-El, Superman’s lookalike uncle. This elaborate hoax was to draw out the Big Four, capturing them and ending their unlawful reign of the criminal underworld.

On Earth-Two, Dr. Brett creates a metallic armor to impersonate a robot while using a mysterious mannequin in a glass case to assume the alias of Sense-Master. Heightening the senses of five crooks, he sends them on missions to obtain five jewels that together compose the Lifestone. All five fiends attract the attention of Law's Legionnaires, and ultimately Brett uses the Lifestone to animate the statue of Atlas in order to attack the assembled avengers. They overpowered the statue and reflected the Lifestone’s rays back onto Brett. This caused the mad scientist Sense-Master to transform into an immobile stone himself.

Back over on Earth-One in the 20th century, a Master-of-the-Five-Senses and his henchwoman Miss Marvelous caused the following members of the Blackhawks team to lose certain senses: Hendrickson his sight, Andre his sense of smell, Stanislaus his hearing, Chuck his sense of taste, and Olaf his sense of touch. 

This Blackhawks tale and that of the World’s Finest mimics what happened to the increased acuity of the senses of Doctor Brett’s five henchmen: Eagle-Eye Nelson, Mr. Hound, Mickey Gordon, Leo Palate and Fingers O'Fallon respectively. In all instances, the bad guys were beaten… senseless!
