Mr. Mind is the only survivor of a race of mind-controlling worms from Venus, who had plans to invade and take over the Earth.
On a distant world dwelt a race of weak-eyed subterranean worms. One of them was born a mutant with a mighty brain, far superior to his fellows, yet was unable to make use of his mental powers because of his small size and lack of hands. This was the future Mr. Mind.
An exiled alien came to that plane to set up a scientific laboratory. Mr Mind discovered he could transfer his own mentality temporarily into this being, and he used the lab to create his glasses, voice amplifier and other equipment.
Among these was a transdimensional radio with which he could pick up broadcasts from more than one Earth. He decided to visit Earth-2, hoping first to meet those whose broadcasts had amused him - then to enlist the powers of the Justice Society into his service as the first in a society of conquest.
But the JSA was away from Earth, so Mr. Mind instead sought out some of their enemies, including Oom, Mister Who, Ramulus, Nyola and the Dummy, for a first try at a society of evil. When this was thwarted, he made his next attempt on Earth-S, setting up his headquaters on a nearby asteroid. He then broadcast to the greatest villains on Earth as well as the leaders of the axis powers, enlisting them all in his Monster Society of Evil.
For some time, Mr Mind battled Captain Marvel, who at first only knew him as a radio voice. Then, when Cap destroyed his headquarters, Mind escaped to Earth to work with the Axis, though he later travelled to the planetoid Punkus, where he ruled the crocodile men who alone could breathe the poisonous atmosphere of that world - Mr. Mind needing a breathing helmet there.
At last, deserted by his minions, Mr. MInd was captured by Captain Marvel and put on trial for multiple murders. (Although he had not carried these out himself, he had ordered them).
Found guilty, he was sent to the electric chair, but what Captain Marvel and everyone else did not realise was that Mr. Mind's race were immune to electricity. However, the shock from the chair placed Mr Mind into a temporary state of suspended animation, and he awoke just as a taxidermist was about to stuff him for a museum.
With his mental powers, Mind ensured the man used another worm instead. The World's Wickedest Worm then spun a cocoon and spent years in hibernation before returning to again battle Captain Marvel and the whole Marvel Family.
Mr. Mind was chosen as the first agent from the Venusian worms to infiltrate Earth, but was stopped by Starman, Bulletman and the Green Lantern Abin Sur. Mind was not seen again for many decades, when he teamed up with Dr. Sivana to try and take over the Earth. The worms were stopped forever when Captain Marvel and Mary Marvel killed all of them but Mr. Mind when they were thrown into deep space, freezing them. Mind was taken into DEO custody by Sarge Steel.Mind later escaped by taking control of Steel, and reprograms Marvel villain Mr. Atom to destroy Fairfield, where the Batson siblings lived. Mind also successfully cloned himself, taking over many citizens of Fairview. Atom succesfully detonated, killing hundreds in Fairviewm but Mind was once again defeated.
Despite Mind's small size, several action figures of him have been made over the years, mainly as accessories to other figures. The first was in a DC Direct figure of Captain Marvel, which included Mr. Mind as a small unarticulated accessory. Many years later, a figure of Sivana was made that again included Mind. Lastly, the modern version of Booster Gold from the DC Universe Classics line includes a Skeets accessory that can be opened, revealing Mind inside Skeets.
