Dr. John Dorsey

A dedicated entomologist who, having finally “triumphed in a great ambition, the dream of growing insects to giant size” by bathing them in a flood of potent “cosmic rays,” discovers to his horror that he has spawned an army of awesome giant ants, taller than human beings, which swiftly take him prisoner and use his cosmic-ray device to “speed up the growth” of other insects with which they hope to “demoralize human civilization” and achieve the “conquest of the world!” Soon the giant insects invade Metropolis, spreading fear and panic in their wake, but Superman creates giant praying mantises to terrorize the ants, thus providing entomologist Dorsey with the opportunity he needs to regain control of his ray device and restore the insects to their original tiny size (S No. 64/2, May/Jun 1950: “The Isle of Giant Insects!”).
