Overview

The Brain is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Commonly as a frequent enemy of the Doom Patrol and the Teen Titans, he is a French genius and criminal mastermind. The Brain appears as the main antagonist in the third season of the HBO Max series Doom Patrol, voiced by Riley Shanahan. Publication history The Brain first appeared in Doom Patrol #86 (March 1964) and was created by Arnold Drake and Bruno Premiani. Drake later commented: "I used that same concept in a Jerry Lewis comic book, and in a Bob Hope comic I had a totem pole that talked to him. Often times, I wrote the same storylines for the comedy stuff that I wrote for the serious stuff. I just turned it on its head". Fictional character biography As a scientist, the Brain performs experiments on animals to raise their intelligence. One of these is on a gorilla, who he names Monsieur Mallah and educates for almost a decade before making him his personal assistant. His colleague Niles Caulder grows jealous of his work and arranges for the Brain to get caught in an explosion, which destroys his body. Only the brain survives, which Caulder plans on putting into a robotic body. Mallah rescues the Brain, transferring him to a computer network that keeps him functioning.

Notable quotes

“We do have an organ for understanding and recognizing moral facts. It is called the brain.”
— Paul Churchland, in A Neurocomputational Perspective (1989).
“It is an article of passionate faith among 'politically correct' biologists and anthropologists that brain size has no connection with intelligence; that intelligence has nothing to do with genes; and that genes are probably nasty fascist things anyway.”
— Richard Dawkins, in The Economist, Vol. 328 (1993).
“In the Arena of Brains no more salutary thing can befall a man than to meet his match. The discipline is stern, but not of the most adamant.”
— Norman Gale, A June Romance (Rugby: George E. Over, 1894), p. 66
“If we don't have good models to study the human brain, the potential for being able to address so much human suffering, disease, things that are very difficult to model in animals, we'll never reach.”
— Alysson Muotri as qtd. in “After Months In A Dish, Lab-Grown Minibrains Start Making 'Brain Waves'”, by Jon Hamilton, Shots Health News From NPR, (August 29, 2019).
“The brain is a mystery; it has been and still will be. How does the brain produce thoughts? That is the central question and we have still no answer to it.”
— Charles Scott Sherrington, as quoted in the article The Human Brain—Three Pounds of Mystery, in The Watchtower magazine (15 July 1978).
“The brain, is the most complex thing we have yet discovered in our universe.”
— James D. Watson, Watchtower Online Library.
