History His real name is Sergei Vlataroff, and he was a scientist who found a way to permanently convert himself into "pure brain". In his converted state, he resembles a giant disembodied silver-colored brain. Lacking a body, he often utilizes telepathically-controlled underlings. Typically, these thralls will build highly advanced machines under his guidance, which the Brain uses as part of his schemes. He is guarded by his Anti-Bodies, energy beings who serve as his last line of defense. On at least one occasion, he was aided by his Sledgehamsters, though whether they were mind-controlled thralls, robots, or something else is unknown. In 2004, his former never center was in the process of getting cleared out after another defeat at the hands of the First Family, when a tourist picked up green gem that housed Omnius Rex.

He also needs the Dimensional Aperstomum, to help him remain in our dimension or risk being sucked back into the Mento-Verse.
