Eric Morden

"*After thirteen pointless, meandering episodes of character-driven schlock, we can **finally** get to the show that everyone wanted to see in the first place... **a superhero show**! Right versus wrong... good versus evil... hero... versus villain... that's me!*"
—Mr. Nobody[src]

**Eric Morden** is a man who underwent an experiment by an ex-Nazi in post-war Paraguay to become a nigh-omniscient being known as **Mr. Nobody**.

## Biography

### Early life

During the 1930s, Eric Morden was a member of the supervillain team named the Brotherhood of Evil. During the 1940s, he disappeared while in South America.

Eventually, Morden was fired from the brotherhood and replaced by Monsieur Mallah, a super-intelligent gorilla that could speak French. Following this, his girlfriend Millie left him, declaring that he would always be a Nobody.

In 1948, Morden arrived in Paraguay seeking the expertise of Heinrich Von Fuchs, a Nazi scientist infamous for his "theoretical experimentation" on human beings. Morden paid Von Fuchs a great sum of money to be subjected to those experiments.

As they were conducting the experiment in a chamber, Von Fuchs instructed Morden to repeat "the mind is the limit" repeatedly as he exposed the man to an unknown energy source. As a result, Morden's body was distorted as he gained destructive powers.

He would go on to torment a group of heroes known as the "Doom Patrol", driving them insane and placing them in an institution.

### Tormenting Niles Caulder

Some years later, in 2019, Mr. Nobody went to Cloverton, Ohio to torment Niles Caulder. While there, he opened up a portal leading to the White Space that began to envelop a large part of the road.

### The New Normal

After his defeat atthe hands of Niles and the Doom Patrol, he and Ernest Franklin get trapped in a painting to serve as their prison for their crimes. However, by the times the Scants invade the Manor, the Doom Patrol find out from Ernest, that Mr. Nobody is nowhere to be found.
