Brains

Debuting in 1985's Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe — DC's landmark Bronze Age encyclopedia of its vast mythology — Brains earned a place among the storied company of Superman, The Flash, Bruce Wayne, and Dick Grayson, which speaks volumes about this character's standing in the DC cosmos. Created by Len Wein, one of comics' most celebrated architects, Brains steps onto the page as a documented piece of DC history, with that debut issue itself recognized as a collector-significant key. Rare in the catalog but enshrined in the definitive DC reference, Brains is one of those intriguing figures that rewards the curious fan willing to dig into the rich, sprawling corners of the DC universe.
