Yes!

A quick search reveals that you yourself have typed the name of this character, Quis! (Albeit only to deny that it was the correct answer to a trivia question!)

In fact, here is the character's appearance from Crisis, completely with suit and tie purchased on Earth-1!

I'd thought of this guy before but I thought his name might be a Marvel character. Is it Darwin Jones?

It is indeed Darwin Jones! Darwin Jones, agent and later director of the Department of Scientific Investigation, made his first appearance in Strange Adventures #1 (in 1950), and appeared intermittently in the title throughout 50s and early 60s, but never with a regular feature. In fact, his stories weren't even typically labeled as such, but he'd randomly show up in the middle of a story to investigate whatever menace was the centerpiece of that story. He also showed up in a Supergirl story shortly before Crisis, and has made a few appearances since Crisis guest-starring with heroes such as the Atom and Superman.

Whew! Your hint about being named after a scientist brought him to mind. But I'd mixed him up with Marvel's Darwin so the hints about having the same name as a Leaguer didn't register. He's the perfectly named character to be interviewed about the various evolutionary stages co-existing in Crisis. I'm not thinking of a character. But by the time I come back I will have. So post away.

Incidentally, now that I read his WWitDCU entry, apparently Darwin Jones was actually born in Metropolis, so I botched the answer to that question (I suspect that fact was made up for the Who's Who). Hope that didn't confuse anyone!
Did your character have an entry in Who's Who in the DCU?
