The first time the Flash fought the same guy again, sort of.
Yes, this guy started as the science based Mister Element, but while cooling his heels in prison after fighting the Flash, he learns about the Philosopher's Stone and decides, eh, screw science! Magic is where it's at baby!
I mean, with the ability to turn any material on Earth into any other material I'd think that'd pay for itself, but what do I know?
Doc would be a reoccurring foe and part of the Rouges. Not as a big as Captain Cold, but usually there. The idea of a psychic twin and dual personalities is an odd choice but it does have him stand out a bit.
After this, Doctor Alchemy would show up in Justice League of America#21, where the JLA met the JSA for the first time.
