(Dynamic Comics v1 001, 1941)
Unlike most Professors in comics, this fellow is seemingly not named that because he is a scientist but rather because he is a clever criminal. He and his powerful companion Hugo are hired by the evocatively-named Hell Gang to intercept and destroy some key evidence while it is en route from the District Attorney's office to the courthouse where Hell Gang leadership is on trial.
It's not fair to blame the Professor for this because there's no way that he could know, but Jim Hornsby, aka the Black Cobra, works at the very district attorney's office that the records are coming from and so is in a perfect position to stick his nose in and foil the whole plan. The records are delivered just in time to convict the Hell Gang, and though the Professor and Hugo get away I am pretty concerned about the Professor's spine after the punch he takes in that final panel above.
