## History

Brotherhood of Evil is a supervillain group. They are the sworn enemies of the Doom Patrol.

During World War II Eric Morden was part of Greg Saunders' band of misfits. What happened to Eric after the war remains of mystery, having abandoned Greg's post-war adventures to go his own way. It is speculated that Eric became envious of Greg's amplified ability from being joined to a vorpal entity, and so Eric began a quest to find his own esoteric entity to fuse with. No one really knows how Eric was successful, but he was. Furthermore, Eric was now the leader of a terrorist faction called the Brotherhood of Dada, complete with powerful minions such as Immortus and Madame Rouge.

Following the intrinsic explosions, Eric was somehow using the mass devastation to increase his own power. These efforts drew the attention of the otherworld witch Tsaritsa. The two had a weird romantic affair in which Eric worked out his strange mommy issues and the two plotted to raise a daughter of their own. During this time. Eric split his attention between his strange family and his more grounded criminality.

Morden's minions began to complain that their criminal mastermind was more focused on his dimensionally deviant domesticated life than he was with any criminal schemes, toppling governments, and taking advantage of the rapidly changing world. To ease the concerns of his men, Eric decided to sub-contract out the "mind" part in the job description of a criminal mastermind.

Eric brought The Brain and Monsieur Mallah into the Brotherhood. He tasked the literal mastermind with running the day-to-day operations of his organization while Eric would only show up here and there when his chthonic itch for villainy needed scratching. Eric began to notice that The Brain was using the Brotherhood to settle an old score with Niles Caulder, often making Caulder or his team of misfits the target of the Brotherhood's nefarious schemes.

Eric objected to this at first, until he sensed the chthonic being fused with one of Caulder's misfits. Larry Trainor. That was all it took for Eric to also decide that the Dada needed to be the doom of the Doom Patrol. Only thing was that while The Brain's schemes actually did try to destroy the Doom Patrol, particularly Caulder, Eric's schemes were more interested in tormenting the Doom Patrol or amusing himself in the style of a stereotypical villainous madman. The more serious elements of the Brotherhood of Dada eventually decided they had enough of it.

By unknown means, The Brain orchestrated a surge in the developing powers of Eric's daughter, causing her to be lost in reality. While Eric and his missus were busy looking for their daughter, The Brain was free to run the Brotherhood as he saw fit. Only when Eric found his daughter and realized that The Brain had stolen the Brotherhood out from under him, Eric threw a fit. Recruiting his reclaimed daughter and some new eccentric weird lackeys of his own, Mr. Nobody made a grand return to villainy by attacking the Dayton Clinic — and destroying it. Eric decided fully to embrace his descent into true evil.

Nowadays, the Brotherhood is split into two main factions. It's important to know the difference as they have very different approaches to their schemes. The Brotherhood of Dada Currently is led by Maximilien Olivier and The Brotherhood of Nada lead by Mr Nobody.
