Bring on the Bad Guys: Dr. Hirach

Real name: Kee Feleg

First appearance: The Flash I#108 1/2 (Aug./Sept. 1959)

Abilities: Scientific genius, speed

Worst act: Attempted murder, robbery

Quote: "But 'Dr. Hirach' is only a figment of my imagination! I'm really Kee Feleg of the world of Mohru--and you have walked into my trap!"

Created by: John Bromme (script), Carmine Infantino (pencils), Frank Giacoia (inks)

The kindly Doctor Hirach offers to time the Flash's speed, so naturally Barry takes him up on it, but wouldn't you know, the kindly doc is really a Mohru named Kee Feleg and he and his gang want to rob (using an element makes them so fast as to be invisible) and they figure getting rid of the Flash first would be useful. 

Thankfully Barry just runs faster, finds their native dimension and helps turn them over to the proper authorities. 

Eh, not terrible but it does seem like they could avoided the Flash all together and not drawn attention to themselves.
