Mister Mind

This guy is not a Spider-Ham character.
Earth Two
The telepathic, work-like Mr. Mind came to Earth, because he enjoyed the planet's radio broadcasts especially
Charlie McCarthy. After learning Charlie didn't exist, he decided to conquer the Earth. He formed the Monster Society of Evil with Dummy (a living puppet), Ramulus (control plants), Mr. Who (super strong shapeshifter) (not to be confused with Doctor Who), Oom (an animated statue with magic powers) and Nyola (magic-using Aztec priestess). But, they quickly turned on him and he fled to Earth S. Without a leader, the All-Star Squadron creamed them.
Captain Marvel Adventures: "Nightmares From Now On"
On Earth S (in the 1940s), he conquer most of space and parts of Earth. So, he formed a massive version of the Monster Society including (but wasn't limited to) Benito Mussolini, Adolf Hitler, Captain Nazi (super strong), Doctor Sivana (a mad scientist), Dr. Smashi, Monster Students and the satyr Archibald. After stopping their mad plans, Earth-S Captain Marvel captured Mister Mind, which ultimately lead to the team's disband.
Return to the Society
After being electrocuted, his alien physiology put him into suspended animation and people thought he was dead. So when he woke, a taxidermist was going to stuff him! He stopped the taxidermist and made him make a fake, stuffed "Mr. Mind". So, he reformed the Society for the 3rd time with Dr. Sivana, IBAC, George and Siviana Jr. (Doctor Siviana's kids). They entered Mary and Uncle Marvel's dreams and terrorize them. But were stopped, when Uncle Marvel dreamt about the Marvels. Dr. Sivana was sent to prison, causing their disband.
The Society Strikes Back
Mr. Mind for the umpteenth time reformed the society. This time with the inhabits of 247 planets, Black Marvel (has the power of SHAZAM), Dr. Sivana, IBAC, Mister Atom (has nuclear-based powers), King Kull (has super strenght and intellgence) and Oggar (an immortal wizard). They tried to conquer the world (again!) and nearly successed.
World's Funniest
During a duel between Bat-Mite and Mr. Mxyzptlk, Mr. Mind reformed the team with Black Adam, Captain Nazi, Dr. Sivana, Evil Eye, Goat-Man, IBAC, Jeepers, Mister Atom, Mr. Banjo, unnamed Crocodile-men and silhouettes.
Power of Shazam!
After the Crisis on Infinite Earths, Mr. Mind in WW II tried be a scout for an invasion on Earth for Venus, only to be stop by Golden Age heroes. Decades later, he tried to conquer the Earth with Siviana and a army of Venus "worms". Captain and Mary Marvel killed all the worms expect for Mister Mind and put him in a superhuman prison, only to escape via the robotic Mr. Atom. He tried to clone him self to control the world's citizens, only to be stopped by the Green Lanterns.
JSA and 52
He tried to overthrow the government of Kahndaq with Black Adam's Monster Society team only to be stop by the Atom. In the 52 series, he causes many time paradoxes. He kidnapped Booster Gold's robot Skeet to use as a cocoon, while he turned into a giant moth-like alien. After a long hunt, Rip Hunter shrinks and "freezes" Mr. Mind.
Booster Gold
After escaping, Mr. Mind (in larva form) took over Booster's dad and allied himself with Ultra-Humanite, Per Degaton, Despero and Black Beetle. He later forced out of his host's body and is step on (and seemly killed) by Ted Kord.
Powers and Abilities
  • Larva Form- As a Larva, Mister Mind was a powerful telepathy. He also spin a super-strong silk at high speeds. He was also long lived.
  • "Moth" Form- He was a "hyperfly" (with increased space and time-controlling abilities) that "feeds" on the timelines in one universe. He was able to make 52 (exactly the same) timelines completely different (actually eating their history).

After being forced to return back to this larva form, he gains the power to reproduce asexually. But do to so, he needs a host to breed his "clones".

Viking Prince


The Viking Prince is the stuff of legends, but for a long time nobody knew why! In The Brave and the Bold issue 1-26, he was a amnesiac viking that a captain called "Jon". Despite the efforts of Thorvald, he regain his memory and learned he was the heir of a viking throne (his father was King Rikk) and Thorvald was next to be king if he couldn't. "Jon" had to do the "12 tasks of Thor" to regain his throne. It's unknown if he did so. However, Our Army at War # 162 claimed he was banned from Valhalla (Norse Heaven) by Odin (the king of the Norse gods), unless he died a heroic death. But, Odin gave him immunity to every known weapon. He somehow was frozen until World War II, where he was killed by plastic explosive (which weren't invented in the Prince's time). This version was adapted for the modern DC continuity (although in this he was teleported by a time warp instead of being frozen). In Birds of Prey # 29 (part of the modern continuity), Black Canary was sent to the 12th century were she met and had a short relationship with the Viking Prince (named Jon Haraldson here), before she returned to the 21st century. Jon took a bullet for meant Black Canary. He somehow survived and was describe as "mourning a love lost to time". In The War That Time Forgot mini-series, he is one of the many warriors from across time that appear.

Christmas Eve gift

This is a picture of one of four necklaces I made for my mom, sister and sister-in-law and gave to them on Christmas Eve. I made Christie one that is amber colored and gold, which I fell in love with but they only had one strand of the amber left and I thought it would look best with Christie's coloring (and it did!) I made the rest of ours this sort of iridescent green and silver color. I can't wait to wear it with something fun.

Mr. Mighty

Mr. Mighty is so famous almost nobody has ever heard of him. Although technically we don't what he real origin is, he claims was an alien named Barb-Ell, the son of Dumb-Ell (a Jor-El parody), from the planet Neon (a reference to how Krypton is also the name of an element). The citizens of Neon ignored Dumb-Ell's warning the planet was going to explode! So, he launch his son into space. However, it turned out that Dumb-Ell was just a crackpot and the planet didn't explode! The next part, we know to be true. He founded (on Earth) the Freedom Brigade with his fellow superhero parodies (in case you haven't figured out MM is a Superman-parody): the Bowman (Green Arrow parody), Captain Swift (Flash), Lady Liberty (Miss America), the Mermaid (Aquaman), the Patriot (Uncle Sam) and Princess Power (Wonder Woman). He had the alter ego of Mr. Brent (first name unknown). He married Mermaid and had a son Leaner Brent a.k.a Awkward Man (a member of the Inferior Five). Mr. Mighty joined the staff of Dean Egghead's Academy for Super-Heroes (a parody of Professor Xavier's school for mutants), after about 20 years of retirement.
