Hip Knox

Golden Age Origin
Professor Knox desired to create a superhuman with hypnotic abilities,so he conducted experiments on an abandoned and nearly dead baby. His operations bring revive him, but also enhance his eyes and brain. Knox raises the child as his own son, nicknaming him Hip and when the boy reached adulthood gave him a costume, but made him swear to use his abilites only for good. So, Hip Knox became a crimefighter and battled enemies such as Eric McFadden, who was resistant to hypnotism and had a long standing grudge against Hip Knox's adopted father. Hip Knox had powerful hypnotic abilities. He could control either humans or animals with a single glance such as mesmerising literally hundreds of animals in one look.
