(Flash Comics v1 008, 1940)
Dr Brine should be in the soon-to-be-unveiled first roundup of minor mad and criminal scientists who don't quite qualify as super-villains. He's a guy in a purple pin-stripe suit who has a plan to steal a bunch of submarines and then profit from that somehow. There are two very important reasons for his inclusion here:
1. He's either a guy who named himself Dr Brine after getting into the submarine piracy game or (even better) he's a guy who was named Jared Brine or similar and the souped up nominative determinism of the DCU steered him through grad school and right into a job hijacking submarines.
2. His evil science specialty is that he figured outa way to make his henchmen semi-amphibious, and that the method in question, seen above, is that they must go raw vegan.
10/10 top-tier crime scientist, no notes.
