Professor Sands

The proprietor of the Dreamorama, a bizarre theater for criminals where, by means of an elaborate technology, criminals demoralized by their brushes with the law are able to fulfill their fondest gangland fantasies through the medium of ingenious “dream fllms” — bearing such reassuring titles as Escape from the B House, King of Crime, and The Great Fort Knox Robbery —which the gangsters actually experience as though they themselves were cast in the starring underworld roles. Posing as a hoodlum and infiltrating the Dreamorama — where, ironically, he wins the opportunity to portray Superman in Sands's forthcoming dream film Victory Over Superman — Superman soon accumulates sufficient evidence to apprehend Sands and his henchmen in March 1953 (Act No. 178: “The Sandman of Crime!”).
