Dr.Sivana

Dr.Sivana, also known as "Odd John" Wainwright, Dr.Thaddeus Sivana, Henry King Sr, and Dr.Cyril Psycho, was a criminal genius known for his deformity, genius intellect, and psychic abilities. He was active largely from 1933 until his death in 1985.

## **Biography**

### **Jonathan "Odd John"Wainwright(1910-1933)**

Jonathan Wainwright was born a mutant in 1910 after a gestation period of eleven months, which might hav been longer had the doctors not chosen to remove him early. When removed he resembled a seven-month old fetus and was kept alive via an incubator for his first year. It would be discovered most of his lung and cardiac problems were self inflicted at the young age as he learned to control his biology.. He was a sick child with dwarfism and a crooked back and because of this could not compete with other children and was mocked for it.

Wainwright did not open his eyes until he was 18 months old in 1911. His eyes were giant black pupils with a small hint of green. He learned to talk at age 4 in 1914 but could at first only speak broken English. I took his a few days to learn adult conversation and to count in nine months. He learned mathematics before he could talk, learned to read in a day by observing his sister reading to him. He would claim to have learned all mathematics and the ability to visualize n-dimensional space at this time, as well as developing telepathy which allowed him to read minds.

In 1916, John learned to walk at age 6 and began developing his muscles, which included fighting every boy in the neighborhood, winning with speed and skill. He finally developed the ability to eat solid food, having previously only been able to drink liquids. He became skilled din acrobatics, biology and jujitsu. Because of his disturbing appearance, he was homeschooled by his mother. He had an interest in biology, philosophy and burglary. People who did seem his were both disgusted but also fascinated. He partly used his abilities for this including turning his father's best friend into a loyal servant he mockingly called "Fido".

John's father took him to see factories and mines and talk to people and interview them, including one "Mr.Magnate". John otherwise occupied himself with toys and philosophy but befriended the 6 year old Judy. His intelligence grew and he developed a secret laboratory with inventions. To get money he would commit burglaries, though at first would not take anything just to prove he could do it. This led him to his first murder, a constable named Smithson, who caught him once, stabbing him. He felt little remorse. It did convince him to look for less risky ways of getting money and he would get patents for his inventions and invest in financial markets with Fido's help.

In 1923, John’s father grew sick. This led John to discover he could read other's peoples thought. In 1924, John began to explore his sexuality, using his abilities to seduce women. he was bisexual and also used his powers on men. From 1924 to 1928, John had several fay affairs and courted an older woman named Europa. There are possibly rumors that he seduced his own mother but this is unconfirmed. He could not bring himself to seduce Europa as he had grown to see humans as animals like dogs or monkeys. This drive was motivated by a desire to break a great taboo held among Humanity to prove his superiority to them.

From 14 to 17, John studied humanity under many disguises, learning to mimic voices. he developed a sense of belonging to Homo Superior, a term he would later popularize. He could send others like himself and spent time traveling to nations like France, Germany, Italy and the Scandinavian countries. He conducted an interview and declared he had no intent of helping humanity. He would go on what was officially reported as a "Holiday" in Scotland and given an interview to two climbers he met one day named McWhist and Norton(*Odd John,* Olaf Stapledon).

From 1928 to 1931, John attended College. He first dated a girl named Lucy, who rejected him for Edwin Ackerman. John then fell in love with a woman named Marva and married her, but she had an affair with a man named Ben Bradley. Marva and Ben conceived a scheme which led to John being framed for the theft of $125,000 worth of Radium from the school lab and John was sent to Prison on a false testimony Marva made against him. While John could have escaped, he at first went willingly before reading a newspaper mentioning the upcoming wedding of Marva and Ben. He then escaped. Initially he was angry and considered revenge but chose to distant himself from Humanity instead(*DC Comics*, Dr.Psycho origin).

In 1931 ,John began to search more publicly for those like him. He discovered two beings similar to himself: a musical madman named James Jones, and a crippled child in the Hebrides. He conceived the idea of creating a colony of "supernormals", and built a yacht and a plane to provide transport for them. Among his recruits were a woman named Jacqueline, born in 1765( though John made contact with an Egyptian named Adlan in the past), a 12-year old Ishmaelian(Ethiopian) boy named Ng-Gunko and a 17-year old Siberian girl named Lo(*Odd John,* Olaf Stapledon).

   In 1932, John finally believed it was time for his race to come together and form a colony to dominate the world as Homo Superior. The race travelled on John's Yacht, which encountered the British Steamship Frome, which was floundering as a result of a storm. They saved those onboard, but when the grateful men praised their bravery, they realized others learning of their existence was cause trouble and murdered the men as well as scuttling the ship to the horror of "Fido". "Fido" protested but John insisted that his followers would wipe out Humanity if they could, comparing them to music, quoted as "Homo Sapiens has little to contribute of the music of this planet, nothing in fact but vain repetition. It is time for finer instruments to take up the theme". (*Odd John,* Olaf Stapledon, Dennis E.Power and Peter Coogan's Lethal Luthors: Odd John Wainwright).

John's followers chose to establish their colony on an inhabited island. They forced the inhabitants with their abilities to throw themselves on. a burning pyre to honor their gods. The Colony was small at first and ran into problems with numbers and a lack of fertility, the three children and a child being insufficient. Lo, one of the first mutants, worked to create an embryo for artificial insemination. While this was being done the others trained mentally, making contact with a Tibetan shaman who was also a mutant but refused to join the colony. John invited "Fido" to visit the colony but he was unable to understand or follow some of the Colony's odd ways due to elements such as them speaking telepathically to each other. The Colony was eventually discovered by an English crew. They tried to erase their memories but were unable to do this. The ship left and brought another English ship. The colony tricks them into thinking they were a social experiment which worked at first but the crew then left and felt their minds become unclouded as they moved away from the island. The ship was sent back to capture the colonists. John ordered two of the Colonists to kill themselves to show their devotion to avoid capture, which horrified the British ship into leaving. One of the Colonists had designed a ray to destroy the ships but the Colonists refused to use it. A fleet of Great Power ships arrived but once more there was another Colonist suicide to avoid capture. Knowing this would not continue to work, John ordered Fido to leave.

The story of the Colony's end on December 15, 1933 was told to Fido by a sailor who was there. Pax received a psychic vision of the destruction of the colony from John. Governments assaulted the island with the Colonists making the soldiers kill each other. The soldiers retreated but the island was set on fire and exploded before sinking. The Colonists seemingly having chosen to destroy themselves.

Odd John and his small band of *Homo superior* vanished from the earth in a spectacular explosion, perhaps like the one that created their mutant ancestors.

But, John and his followers actually survived and moved to the planet Venus. Wainwright brought with him two newborn children he had conceived with Lo. For protection he changed his name to Thaddeus Sivana. His two newborns were named Beautia and Magnificus.

### **Dr.Thaddeus Sivana(1933-1943)**

On Venus, Doctor Sivana developed a "Radio-Silencer" ray, capable of driving all radio broadcasters off the air. In 1940, he attempted to extort fifty million dollars from the commercial broadcasting industry. Captain Marvel smashed this scheme, but Sivana escaped. Sivana was angered that there was a superhuman that opposed him rather than joined him. He summoned his forces on an attack consisting of thousands of supersoldiers, hundreds of streamlined tanks, artillery and 120-mph combat cars, and the mightiest air fleet in history. He declared war on the United States, and attacked Washington DC. Captain Marvel intervened, and Sivana attempted to destroy him with an "Atom Smasher" explosive device, but succeeded only in killing most of his own troops. Sivana was seemingly killed, in this defeat, but this was only an illusion cast with his own abilities.

Sivana considered Captain Marvel his greatest enemy for the death of so many of his followers and his first true opposition. His third scheme involved bringing Captain Marvel to Venus in an attempt to trap him. This failed but Sivana learned Captain Marvel’s dual identity of Billy Batson when he saw him transform.

Sivana's fourth campaign was to fund and direct his daughter Beautia as a candidate for the U.S. presidency. At this time is was not publicly known that Beautia was Sivana's daughter, and in her campaign she didn't use her true last name. She would not have been illegible due to her age alone but she had limited psychic abilities and the power of persuasion. Shortly before Election Day, Captain Marvel intervened and exposed the ruse. Beautia retreated to Venus along with Sivana.

Sivana had succeeded at space colonization, while failing at industrial-level extortion, military conquest, and national politics, Sivana then entered the circus business. He imported to Earth six rocketshipsful of exotic and dangerous Venusian animals. Captain Marvel killed all of these animals to thwart his schemes, but Sivana escaped to Venus.

Sivana's next big strategy, his sixth, was to build an artificial man, with superhuman strength, speed, durability, agility, and cunning, and a personality of its own, and sent it out to fight Captain Marvel. Three fistfights later the android, "Z", was destroyed, and revealed to be a mechanical contraption, while amid all the carnage, Sivana escaped.

Sivana's seventh big and evil scheme was the systematic destruction of several U.S. military defenses along the Pacific Coast. Captain Marvel put an end to this mischief, with the help of Beautia, who had a change of heart. She was exiled, becoming ex-Empress of Venus. Captain Marvel believed in her and she would use her genius to help the military oppose her father. Doctor Sivana escaped aboard a stolen aerial torpedo. At this time it was still not known, seemingly even to Billy Batson, that Beautia and the Doctor were related, she was seen as a genius and ex-presidential candidate.

Very late in 1940, Sivana's next ambitious crime scheme, his eighth, was to invent a weather-controlling machine, on Venus, and use it in a complicated insurance-fraud racket. Captain Marvel smashed the machinery, then used Sivana's own rocketship to exile the Doctor and Beautia to Venus, for the second time. Beautia was exiled as her connection to Sivana was discovered. Billy Batson attempted to defend Beautia for the time she had helped thwart her father’s schemes, but failed.

In 1941, Sivana set up a corporation of his own, calling itself Sivana Industries(which was an evil organization rather than an actual company despite the name, though he used his abilities to appear genuine). He formed an alliance with Lex Luthor and briefly and sent a hitman to kill Billy Batson, but this failed with an innocent child dying, leading to Captain Marvel breaking in and nearly killing Sivana, scarring him into leaving Metropolis.

Sivana's next master plan grew out of his development of a powerful rejuvenating formula, one sip of which was sufficient to devolve an adult into an infant. He used this potion to create diversions and frame some patsies for a series of otherwise-ordinary robberies, then introduced a large volume of it into the reservoir of a U.S. Army base, turning all of the soldiers into babies, to facilitate the theft of many weapons. Captain Marvel thwarted this whole scheme; Sivana was captured and jailed; Beautia was captured but later released on parole as she began helping the military.

While awaiting trial, Sivana smuggled in technology to make himself invisible(In the comics, he was depicted as using only pencil and paper,  figuring out a formula to make himself intangible) and used this knowledge to escape from custody, and to launch a new series of destructive and ambitious crimes, culminating in the kidnapping of U.S. President Stephen Wayne. It seemed to be over and won, when Sivana succeeded in imprisoning Captain Marvel inside a diamond-hard underground cell. But Marvel was able to escape( The Comics depict him working out the same calculations, in his head, that Sivana had spent days figuring out, and phased himself out of the prison. Marvel actually called the lighting to change back to Batson, then moved out of the way. The Lightning made a hole in the diamond which Billy climbed up to. There was a chase and a struggle, until Sivana's form became transparent and indistinct, then vanished completely. In Captain Marvel's opinion, Sivana was now gone for good. In reality, he simply turned invisible and escaped.

Sivana returned to Metropolis, where he spent up to a month establishing himself as "Footo Yu," Ruler of Chinatown and Boss of All Rackets. At the same time, in a jungle in Central America, Sivana had established an industrial-scale incubator farm, and was breeding Venusian Glompers for some unknown purpose. Whatever he was up to, this would be his eleventh big and evil scheme. Captain Marvel stumbled across these activities mainly by accident, but shut them down very quickly after that. In a landslide amid a melee, Sivana was smashed with a large boulder, and knocked into a coma. In this condition, he was again marooned on Venus (for the third time), along with his children Magnificus and Beautia.

Returning to Earth, Sivana invented a potion which would, on skin contact, instantly shrink any person down to germ size or smaller. He used this formula on Billy Batson and then on his daughter Beautia for her betrayal, who both landed in a flower pot, where they were beset by ordinary insects, then by ordinary germs, then by Sivana's miniature servants the Germ People. But curiosity got the better of Sivana, and he shrank himself down to germ size to observe the misfortunes of Captain Marvel and Beautia, and gloat. This tipped them off that Sivana had a means of restoring his own normal size. Beautia and Captain Marvel boarded his ship and Beautia found a jar of this antidote, they both ingested it, and regained their normal size. Captain Marvel ended the encounter by tossing Sivana into a passing garbage truck, so he may have escaped.

Sivana's next scheme involved developing a new metal that was stronger than steel, and some extremely delicate electrical motors, to construct a powered exoskeleton which, worn under a sharp-looking tuxedo, made Sivana quite an imposing figure indeed. He revisited an old haunt of his, a dumpy underworld bar, and picked fights with two old evil associates, both big-talking punks, whom he handily dispatched. When Captain Marvel arrived in the bar, Sivana claimed to be as tough as him, and wanted to duke it out. He punched Marvel hard enough for him to actually feel it, but then Marvel punched him through a brick wall, out into the alley. Sivana's new outfit was durable enough for him to survive this treatment and fast enough for him to escape. In a second encounter, the Robot Body was partly disassembled by Captain Marvel, and Sivana was punched loose from the suit, and out through an open window, but he did manage to escape again (for the third time in a row).

Sivana's next revenge scheme was to team up with Herr Geyer, Capt. Death, and Biggy Brix in an ad hoc attempt to eliminate Captain Marvel by murdering Billy Batson. Sivana deployed no new technology in this misadventure. Captain Marvel has learned to transfer his powers to other people and used this ability to defeat the villains. Sivana was seemingly killed in a plane crash, along with his three allies.

Sivana's next mad plan was to attack Metropolis with paralyzing gas, dropped in sacks from a dirigible. The gas temporarily paralyzed a large number of people, but soon wore off. At the end of this misadventure, Sivana ended up in the hands of a vengeful mob of Metropolitans. He would use his abilities to escape.

Later in the same year, Sivana undertook his next diabolical campaign. He combined, in one humanoid body, the strength of a gorilla, the speed of a serpent, the fighting skill of a tiger, the cunning of a fox, the bravery of a lion, and the memory of an elephant, powered by the Life Force drawn from a thousand beasts. The resulting Beast Ruler was uncontrollable, and it chased Sivana right out of his own laboratory, then set free all of his test animals. Captain Marvel pursued the Beast-Ruler, without first securing Sivana, and by the time he returned, the old schemer had slipped away.

Sivana's next revenge scheme, like his 14th, was completely impromptu, developed no new technology, and was opposed by four Marvels. He also attacked Beautia, and left her tied and gagged in a closet, in a building that was set up to get blown to bits. While Captain Marvel saved Beautia, Sivana was apparently killed in the ensuing explosion, but survived, shaken ragged and angry, to scheme again.

Sivana's next ambitious crime scheme centered around kidnapping Katinka, the Princess of Mentonia, and framing Captain Marvel for the crime. The plan involved staging a fake fund-raising theater-party for orphan children, where Beautia had become an actor(another reason he chose this specific target) and using plastic surgery to create a Captain Marvel impersonator, to do the main crime. No new technology was deployed in this campaign, for the second time in a row, and the scheme itself was too elaborate by half, in that it depended on deceiving Beautia about the identity of the fake Captain Marvel. It fell apart quickly after Captain Marvel got wind of it and showed up during the attempt.

Dr.Sivana went quiet when the US entered World War II as it led to the public reveal of the Justice Society of America and All Star Squadron. Sivana felt as if his own dream of a Superhuman Society was now mocking him, and later joined Mister Mind and the Monster Society of Evil in allying with the Nazis. He took the Supervillain alias of “Brain Wave”. Another reason for his long absence was his psychic abilities were now getting stronger and he could now enter the Dream Realm. At this time, Morpheus, the Lord of Dreams had been imprisoned by Roderick Burgess and would not be freed until 1989, meaning many including Sivana and the likes of the serial Killer Freddy Krueger were able to manipulate the Dream Realm, which Morpheus would have put a stop to had he been present(Fawcett Comics *Captain Marvel* series)

### **Henry "Brain Wave" King(1943)**

In 1943, Wainwright debuted as “Brain Wave”. He used his abilities to mind control Dr.Elba, a scientist who had ridiculed him in the past, into going insane, using him for blackmail and to pass on a serum that drove other people insane. The crimes of Dr.Elba took the notice of several costumed vigilantes, who went off to face against him. To avoid exposure, “Brain Wave” made Dr.Elba jump out of a window to his death.

“Brain Wave” conceived a new plan and took on the alias of Dr.Henry King, disguising himself as a therapist towards Government sanctioned Superheroes in order to learn more about them. King then began giving the Vigilantes under his care nightmares so that they would come see him. These nightmares were of the Heroes dying in the War. He built a device to merge the dreams together into one realistic battle where he hoped the Heroes would die of heart attacks. This device was housed within the 1939 Metropolis World’s Fair pavilion. This scheme was thwarted by the Green Lantern Alan Scott, who’s Ring had failsafes which protected its user, allowing him to fight back and free his teammates.

Sivana chose to keep his Henry King identity and began to form a new criminal Empire based on his old connections as Sivana. Unfortunately he grew too big and got the attention of several vigilantes, who converged on his secret base at a Lighthouse. King created a distraction by making illusions of their loved ones, which appeared as hostages and then attacked them. He fell out of a window. When the Heroes looked they didn’t see him. He’d been caught on a branch and quickly made himself invisible, giving him a chance to escape.

King’s next attempt involved ambushing several heroes with a Shrink Ray. He kept the heroes as trophies, intending to send them to the Nazis for research. Johnny Thunder helped free them. Brain Wave seemingly blew himself up to avoid capture. He once more survived but was heavily injured in the blast(*DC Comics*), requiring reconstructive surgery, which he blackmailed a black market surgeon into providing. He became a dwarfish man with black hair. He took the new identity of Cyril Psycho.

### **Dr.Cyril Psycho(1943-)**

After surviving the explosion, King was approached by the Duke of Deception, an agent of the God of War Ares, who suggested an alliance. He was given the task of a propaganda campaign to undermine women in the war effort. King was extremely sexist and this supported his own beliefs. He recalled memories of Marva, who he viewed as the start of his hatred towards women. He tracked down Ben Bradley, who confessed he and Marva had framed him for the crime that led him to be expelled, but falsely claimed that Marva had planned the crime. Psycho forced Bradley to ingest a radium tablet, giving him a slow and painful death. He then tracked down Marva and forced her to marry him with his hypnosis. Psycho also began using Marva as a conduit for his abilities, allowing him to enter the spirit world via her own latent telepathy as she was secretly a mutant. Psycho then used his abilities to brainwash several high ranking Government officials and orchestrated several apparent acts of sabotage that were framed as being caused by female members. This includes a projection of George Washington appearing before several people in an attempt to convince them. The ruse was exposed by Steve Trevor, Wonder Woman and Phillip Darnell. This also resulted in Marva being freed from his control as he fled. Wonder Woman convinced her to join the WAAC. She did so under an alias, eventually marrying a man named John Grey and taking the name “Jane Grey”, later having a daughter with even stronger psychic abilities, known as Jean Grey, who would Jon the X-Men.

Psycho’s next scheme was to impersonate Colonel Phillip Darnell. He stole top secret documents and gave them to three female officers, framing them for the theft. Steve Trevor suspected something was off and tracked down Psycho. He was captured but alerted Wonder Woman, who arrived. Psycho used his abilities to create two other Wonder Women with negative personalities to cause confusion. The True Wonder Woman convinced the illusions to fight each other. This allowed her to defeat Psycho and send him to prison.

Psycho spent some time in Prison building up his powers before faking his own death by seemingly disappearing from his cell. He then attempted to assassinate Major Trevor with a bomb, which failed but killed Trevor’s secretary Lila Brown. Trevor flew to the prison with Wonder Woman and Etta Candy. They found Psycho was using another woman, Joan White, as a vessel but she was freed by Etta Candy and Psycho properly returned to his prison cell.

One Day, Dr. Psycho's sleeping body disappeared as if it were smoke. This was one of Dr. Psycho's illusions, and the doctor had escaped once more. Psycho tried to destroy Wonder Woman’s reputation by assuming her form. Dr. Psycho then murdered Steve Howard's secretary in full view of the office staff. Even at this early date Wonder Woman had such a strong reputation for justice and morality that people did not believe the story, instead concluding it was in fact one of her enemies trying to discredit her or a case of mistaken identity. The real killer was unmasked once again. Dr. Psycho was sent to jail once more. In a few days he was free once again.(Dennis E.Power's: Lethal Luthors: Henry King Wainwright)

While Wonder Woman was performing at a charity carnival, Dr. Psycho appeared and challenged her to a contest of speed and strength. He was able to best her at both of these contests. Even though he had beaten Wonder Woman, the crowd booed him and cheered her. When Wonder Woman tried to deflect the crowd's jeers by stating that he had won fair and square, Dr. Psycho believed that she was mocking him. He stole her magic lasso and forced her to do humiliating acts in public. Even so, Wonder Woman tried to convince him that she wanted to be his friend. She may have been sincere in this, but she could also have trying to keep Dr. Psycho on an even temper in the crowd so that he could not use his new powers to hurt people. Finally Dr. Psycho could not bring himself to believe her and made it appear as though the carnival mast had broken and that the tent was falling. As Wonder Woman tried to hold up the pole, Dr. Psycho escaped.

In 1944, Psycho’s next scheme involved Paula Dupree, formerly a Gorilla named Cheela who had been transformed into a woman by a scientific experiment. Psycho abducted her and brainwashed her, using his shrink ray to cause her to grow giant. She was convinced she was in love with Steve Trevor and needed to kill Wonder Woman to gain his love. Wonder Woman defeated her, found a way to shrink her back down, taking her to Themyscira for rehabilitation.  She later escaped and joined Villainy Inc, a team of Wonder Woman enemies.

Still early in 1944, Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor unveiled what was supposed to be a statue of Wonder Woman built from copper pennies donated by her young fans.  They were shocked to see that it had been stolen and replaced by a statue of Dr. Psycho. Dr. Psycho called Diana Prince and asked her to tell Wonder Woman that he would return her statue since he felt guilty about stealing from children. He gave her a time and place to pick up the statue. This turned out to be a ruse. He knocked out Wonder Woman with a mind bolt and created two ectoplasmic Wonder Women—one which was tyrannical and the other of which was vain—and sent them out into the world(likely having learned his lesson after the last two Wonder Woman he created had fought each other). The duplicates chained Wonder Woman to a whale's back.  Wonder Woman freed herself, and she convinced the vain Wonder Woman to attack the tyrannical one. Wonder Woman encircled both of the duplicates in her magic lasso. Dr. Psycho was hard pressed to maintain the structural integrity of his constructs; since they were physical manifestations of his mind, the lasso also affected him. During his concentration on the battle Steve Trevor knocked him unconscious. The duplicates faded into nothingness and Dr. Psycho was captured once more and escaped again.

In 1945, As the war continued, The Dr.King persona found that his private practice became so busy that he did not have time to spend bothering Wonder Woman or other costumed vigilantes. Once the war had ended, however, he soon returned to his old tricks. There was a great upsurge in the mistreatment of women by returning soldiers and civilian personnel. Most people believed that this was because men resented women for having altered the sexual status quo during the war. Having taken over jobs that had once been the exclusive employment of men while the men were at war, many women were reluctant to give these positions up.  Also many women began to assert a more equal status on the domestic front. The resultant backlash manifested in a rise of the depiction of independent women as scheming, loose connivers—depicted cinematically as the film noir femme fatale. The public propaganda against independent womanhood was unfortunately accompanied by an upsurge of crimes against women. Wonder Woman was not so certain that this wide-spread reaction was merely the result of post-war stress or if there was a deliberate force behind it. Diana discovered a pattern behind the seeming random violence and triangulated the point of origination. This led her to Dr. Psycho, who eluded her once again.

The next public scheme of Dr. Psycho was a rather lame attempt to discredit Steve Trevor. Dr. King arranged for a small-time thief and murderer to be transformed into the likeness of Steve Trevor through plastic surgery. He then committed crimes. This was a bit of a test to see how far Diana's devotion to Steve Trevor went. According to the comic-book version, Diana could not bring herself to apprehend a man who looked like the man she loved, and so she retired. In actuality she had no trouble separating the identities of the two men no matter how alike they may have looked. She took the ersatz Trevor into custody with no qualms whatsoever.

### **1946**

An expert in dream psychology, King solicited the OSS to test his theories about remote viewing and test his new dream analyzer. Always willing to try new technologies that would give them an edge, the OSS agreed. They also agreed that the costumed vigilantes would make good volunteers because of the strength of their determination for justice and patriotism. Instead of a dream analyzer, the device was a dream inducer that slowly drove its subjects mad instead of recording their dreams. Dr. King had injected them with a variety of psychoactive and narcotic substances before placing them in the dream inducer. Johnny Thunder was the only person not affected by the drugs and dream inducer due to his thunderbolt.  Confronted with his now-dysfunctional teammates and the victorious Brain Wave, Johnny Thunder again summoned his magical Thunderbolt to restore his comrades and capture the Brain Wave. This time there was no escape and Henry King got his first taste of a long term jail sentence.

### **1947**

In the winter of 1947, Dr. King was contacted by a man who knew at least one of his criminal personas, that of Dr. Psycho. This man wished for Dr. Psycho to participate in a far-ranging plan to neutralize some of the costumed vigilantes whose efforts against crime had put a crimp in various criminal enterprises across the United States. The costumed vigilantes so targeted were those who had their abilities augmented by special devices. The various criminals contacted by the man who called himself The Collector wanted to first gain possession of these devices and then use them against the rest of the costumed vigilantes. Since The Collector knew of Dr. Psycho‘s special animosity towards Wonder Woman, Psycho was given the task of stealing her magic lasso and girdle. To achieve this goal Dr. King recruited some unwilling aid. He broke Paula Dupree out and also recruited the Nazi spy Paula von Gunther to help in stealing the two objects. Despite the overwhelming force deployed against her, Wonder Woman prevailed. In this instance Dr. Psycho was too distracted and intimidated by these three beautiful women to concentrate properly. He allowed his control over Paula Gunther and Paula Dupree to slip and the women escaped from his control.

Through the Collector, King was put in contact with several other villains, which banded together. The Injustice Society was led by The Wizard(William Zard), a new villain which debuted that year. Other members  included The Thinker(Clifford Devoe), Vandal Savage, The Gambler(Stephen Sharpe III), Brain Wave, and Per Degaton. They formed a three part plan, First they would cause massive breakouts from prisons around the United States, then replace Government officials with androids loyal to them and then attack the Justice Society Directly. The Villains notified the Heroes of their plans to get them to come. Hawkman was captured by Vandal Savage and Dr.Mid-Nite was captured by Degaton.The Flash(Jay Garrick) was captured by the Thinker and the Atom was trapped by the Gambler. Brain Wave fought The Green Lantern(Alan Scott), who fell into a ravine. Brain Wave did not check if he was dead, allowing him to break into the Villain’s base and free the others, who turned the tide on the Villains.

### **1948**

After the Defeat of the Injustice Society, King was placed on Government work. Public attention was turning against Superheroes including the Superhero Relocation Act being put into effect and the Iselin Trials. King, with the aid of Government funds, successfully trapped most of the Marvel Family in suspended Animation in 1948, leaving Billy Batso and Beautia Sivana to search for the missing Members, which they would finally find in 1973.

### **1953-1973**

In 1953, King was brought on the MK Ultra project. Over Time, he began to get more and more freedom to operate on certain civilians under the name of the Symbion Organization. He projected the appearance of a handsome man with red hair outwardly. The CEA tried to shut down Symbion but he had the company put down as a Religious Organization.

King seduced and married former Costumed Vigilante Merry Pemberton, also known as “Merry, the Girl of 1,000 Gimmicks”.

### **1965**

King and Merry have a son, later dubbed Henry King Jr, who would become a hero dubbed Brain Wave II. Merry discovered his true identity as Brain Wave and left him, taking her son with him. She remarried into the Clamp family. King would continue to grow Symbion over the course of 20 years.

### **1973**

The Marvel Family was finally found and revived. Sivana wanted to enact revenge but realized he could not without jeopardizing his position.

### **1974**

The Symbion Liberation Army kidnapped and Brainwashed the daughter of a Newspaper Mogul. It was this event that led to Captain America and Power Girl to break up Symbion, destroying the organization, though King escaped once more.

While traveling with Daniel Clamp, and his son, Henry King Jr(also known as Thaddeus Sivana Jr) was transported to the location of the Wizard Shazam and given a test to see if he was worthy of the. Power of Shazam. He was rejected as he was tempted by the Seven Deadly Sins. Upon being returned, he accidentally caused a car crash by panicking.

### **1976**

King teamed up with Per Degaton to create a weather controlling device to threaten the world. This plot was thwarted by the Justice Society.

### **1978**

Brain Wave appeared again this time, sending Keystone City to another universe. This plan was thwarted by Power Woman, Wonder Woman and The Flash(Jay Garrick).

### **1982**

As Dr.Psycho, King  teamed up with a new villain, Silver Swan. Dr.Psycho took the form of a more attractive villain named Captain Wonder, a mix of Steve Trevor and Wonder Woman. The two villains defeated Wonder Woman and intended to crash the Invisible Jet into the White House but Wonder Woman broke free and caused Dr.Psycho’s disguise to fall, Silver Swan was repulsed and angered at being lied to. A fight ensued between the two villains which led to Silver Swan falling to her death and Psycho escaping. The plane’s crash was averted.

### **1985**

Henry King Jr by this time began acting as the Superhero Brain Wave and as a member of Infinity Inc. During a conflict with the Ultra-Humanite, Brain Wave sacrificed himself to save his son from the villain. This allegedly transpired during the Crisis on Infinite Earths, when several Villains gathered together to attempt to conquer worlds and the Heroes in turn gathered to battle them.

### **1991**

Edgar "Eddie" Cizko, a man with dwarfism, took on the identity of Dr.Psycho. He claims to have developed a hatred of women after being unable to ride a Ferris Wheel and being lied to his mother that he would grow tall enough to ride before an accident killed those on the Ferris Wheel. While battling Wonder Woman in a recorded fight he blurted out the C-Word and faced intense backlash even from the Legion of Doom. He joined a crew led by Harley Quinn, before betraying that group as well and attempting to lead a Parademon Invasion. He was defeated and sent to Arkham Asylum, where he eventually began a Podcast in Arkham Asylum. He abilities were used by Harley Quinn's gang to enter Bruce Wayne's mind briefly before he was returned.

## **Alternate Universes**

### **Earth Three**

On Earth Three, Odd John Wainwright was born fairly handsome and normal looking, lacking his Earth One's deformities. Wainright truly intended to build a peaceful Utopia for his people but was attacked by the Nations of the World. He then changed his approach and opened a school for Mutants, making him a closer counterpart to Charles Xavier, who became a supervillain on Earth Three while Erik Lensherr did not. Lensherr became Wainwright's protege and eventual successor as leader of the Wainwright Institute. Wainwright kept up public appearances as a nobel prize winning scientist while concealing his true identity as a Mutant, only appearing to be a vocal supporter for their rights in public such as owning the island they had attempted to colonize. Wainwright never adopted the Sivana identity but did clash several times with Captain Thunder, the Earth three Counterpart of Captain Marvel and other Supervillains on this Earth. He learned of and joined a group of alternate universe Sivanas, but since most were evil criminals he clashed with the group, insisting they talk peacefully with their respective Marvel families. He contributed to their defeat.

### **Earth X**

Following the assassination of US President Peter J.Varney in 1933, the US was too distracted by the assassination and economic collapse to take part in the attack on Wainwright's Island and the Soviet Union was too broken up by infighting. Wainwright, instead made an uneasy alliance with Nazi Germany, who disliked his appearance. Wainwright honed his abilities so that he and his followers would appear Aryan for propaganda purposes. The Nazis largely left them alone after their victory post war, Wainwright changed his name to Sivana and pretended to be German when he joined the Nazis. He was reportedly killed during the German Civil War in 1962.

### **Earth 11**

Wainwright is female on this Earth but her last name is not known(It would not be Wainwright due to swapped naming conventions, meaning the last name would belong to her mother rather than her father). She still adopted the Sivana identity and had children on Venus, following much a similar path. She was a member of an alliance of Sivanas from across the Multiverse and was defeated, likely being returned to Earth 11. She likely went onto battle Wonder Man on this Earth much like Earth 3 antagonized Wonder Woman.

### **Earth 23**

Wainwright is black on this Earth. This is due to this world's history reversing the fortune of Africans and other minorities. He was a member of an alliance of Sivanas from across the Multiverse and this is all that is known about him though he likely followed a similar history down to a life as John Wainwright at least.

### **Earth 26**

Dr.Sivana was a snake on this Earth due to it being populated by talking animals. He was a member of an alliance of Sivanas from across the Multiverse and this is all that is known about him though he likely followed a similar history down to a life as John Wainwright at least.

### **Gods and Monsters**

A not yet numbered universe. This world's first known divergence is a different Superman, who is the son of Zod. Wainwright was born and likely lived a similar life up to his battle with Captain Marvel, but never fought Diana Prince as she never became Wonder Woman, likely not using the alias of Dr.Psycho at this time nor the identity of Brain Wave. He instead used the identity of Dr.Jackson Alpert. He was still recruited by the CEA for the MK Ultra project but left in 1969 rather than remain on and joined the Hairies, a group of Hippies who were experimenting with brain wave technology in a farm in Metropolis. He met Bekka, a woman from New Genesis(and the closest equivalent to Wonder Woman on this world). Bekka trusted him, and gave him technology to help in his experiments, only for him to use it to turn people into monsters. He would create the Eternity Institute in Switzerland and become a recluse, devoting his time to his experiments and creating the Forever People, he came across the Imperiex Armor by chance and used is to create a weapon he could control, being defeated by this world's Justice League including Bekka.
