Origin[]

Dr. Z, or, as he calls himself, the "great Dr. Z", was an elderly international spy and a mad scientist. The doctor lived in a large mansion equipped with death traps and a lab. He kidnapped Mary Brown, on whom he planned to experiment. One device he was working on was a mind reading machine. To help him complete the device, and with help from his brutish assistant Hagor, he kidnapped Professor Larry Hunter, a psychologist and expert on the human brain. After Hunter finished the device, the doctor was killed by one of his own deathtraps.
