Professor Brainstorm (PvZ:LW)

Professor Brainstorm is the fourth new zombie encountered in Magma Marshlands in Plants vs. Zombies: Lost World, first appearing on Level 8A. Professor Brainstorm will enter the lawn by spawning a portal anywhere from in between the 3rd and 4th column to in between the 7th to 8th column (portals always spawn in between columns and never above lava in Magma Marshlands, and they will commonly attempt to spawn at the left end of lava pools), and reveal himself by sticking his out of the portal. Right after revealing himself, he will press a button on a remote that he possesses which spawns another two portals on the lawn within the same range before he disappears through his portal, leaving the three portals on the lawn for 45 seconds before they disappear. Three portals will never spawn on the same lane (but two can). Whenever a projectile or zombie enters one of the portals, that projectile or zombie will teleport into one of the other two portals randomly.
Professor Brainstorm can't be interacted with during gameplay (plants cannot target, damage or affect him, and neither do zombies who can interact with other zombies), so it's not possible to defeat Professor Brainstorm.
==Almanac entry==
Professor Brainstorm
A famous superzombie that spawns three portals to teleport projectiles and zombies to different locations on the lawn.
Special: Portals randomly redirect projectiles and zombies
Portal transportation can be considered to be quite efficient. You just need two portals at different locations and you can travel from one location to the other in a matter of seconds. Professor Brainstorm took it one step further and concluded that three portals are more efficient than two. Now this is what you call pure genius.

==Strategies==
Since Professor Brainstorm cannot be targeted, there’s no way to stop him from spawning his portals, so you’ll have to deal with it. The fact that one portal will not always send projectiles and zombies into the same portal each time makes it trickier to hold back the zombies while these portals are still on the lawn, so you’ll have to make sure that you watch the portals carefully to ensure zombies do not teleport into your defenses and cause havoc. Blocking zombies from entering portals by simply putting plants like Wall-nut can help to do this. As for projectiles, try to make sure that plants are present in every lane with a portal, because, although portals will randomly send projectiles to different locations, this method will try to make sure that each lane with a portal will still be nearly as ‘equally defended’ as if the lanes were to have no portals at all. You can also try to plant more plants ahead of portals to make sure their projectiles don’t get affected by teleportation.
