Respect Brainwave

[Beatboks]

Brainwave was the first Super powered Villain the JSA faced. As with all early JSA adventures each of the members encountered him (unknowingly)separately and then cam together to face him as a team.

He had developed the ability to focus his thought three dimensionally to create real like "thought images"

Each Member faced a crime committed by one of his "brain images". They Committed crimes for Brainwave (even carrying away loot) and killed. People shot would die only to have even the bullet wholes disappear from their body and all signs being death by shock and fear. Images that could physically fight Spectre, sandman, Hawkman etc. That could bind Wonder Woman, even carry the adopted daughter of Johnny Thunder.

It was retconned later ( All Star Squadron) that his first encounter with the JSA was a year or so earlier. That he encountered them earlier and had placed a mental command telepathically into their minds. Even so far as to telepathically push the Spectre to seek out some other danger (believing him to be the only one of the JSAers he was not yet powerful enough to face.

When he faced the JSA this time he created an entire mental dream scape, a mental world of his own creation where he was complete master.

As well as his mental powers, Brainwave is a genius with many amazing developments. When he faced the JSA the next few times t was with only his inventions and devices.

Silver age, Bronze and Modern (plus Jnr ) still to come (wish my character folders on CV had folders in them, trying to do this chronologically unlike my other respect threads is not very easy)

Nice job!

Lovely Beatboks. A question about the WW scan though. I thought once a Pre-Crisis amazon is bound by the wrist from a man, they are compelled to obey. So would that not mean that Brainwave forcing Dr. Midnite to bind her is not a feat against WW? Because anyone that could manage to bind her would be able to subdue her in such a way.

[Beatboks]

It wasn't actually Dr Midnite binding her. it was a mental projection of Midnite created by BW. I'll load the scan of a page or two later that shows for context when I next update it.

[Erik-El]

Ah. But would that not be just WW not trying because she already assumed she was bound by an actual male? She did not appear to even attempt to struggle.

[Beatboks]

possibly ( in fact likely) I'm using these more as a testament to just how realistic his thought images are. like The one where Carter Hall is checking out someone actually shot by them who died from shock fright. Or the Spectre actually physically fighting them. Even people with heightened senses cant tell the difference. as you'll see when I get up to all star 58/9 his images of disasters were enough that masses / the world can't tell they aren't real

[Erik-El]

Ah well then awesome!

[Beatboks]

OK High time I got back to this.

Since my last post was about All Star 58

Brainwave had been creating disasters all over the globe that had been drawing the attention and the efforts of the JSA. while they dealt with his thought projection disasters like
