Dr. Satan is another of those mad scientists out to rule the world that were so prevalent during the serial days that they had to queue outside the FBI building to deliver their threats. 

The Mysterious Dr. Satan (1940) is noteworthy in that it was recycled from a Batman serial that never went into production, so the script was dusted off, the hero was changed to "Copperhead," and voila!  The recycling even extended to Dr. Satan's robots that were leftovers from Undersea Kingdom.  Unfortunately, they share the same fate as Dr. Zorka's robot in that they spend most of their screen time on one long tea break.
