Name: Great Blue Father
First Appearance: Comic Cavalcade #10 (1945)
Creators: William Marston and H.G Peter
Abilities: Expert Biologist. Expert Chemist. Inventor of the ‘moron hormone’ elixer. Through variations on his elixer he can compel obedience, reduce the mental faculties of others, and cause temporary amnesia.
Backstory: Protus Plasm was a brilliant biologist who was considered one of the greatest minds in the field. Contracted to do work for the Government, Protus loved the money they gave him, but despised being told what to do.
Thus Professor Protus Plasm would take to committing practical jokes on government officials through use of his behavioral altering serum. For he was able to isolate the hormones in the brain which cause stupidity by studying politicians for whom the hormone exists in greater quantities.
Anyone who imbibed his ‘moron hormone’ elixer would find their mental faculties reduced to that of a playful child. With a compulsion to refer to Protus Plasm as ‘daddy’
However Protus Plasm would eventually be fired for his antics, leading to him donning the guise of ‘Great Blue Father’ so that he could cause havoc by targeting politicians, government officials, and anyone who did not take him seriously.
With a number of henchmen who were made obedient through a variation on his moron hormone elixer which compelled them to do ‘whatever daddy tells them’ the Great Blue Father would cause havoc for no reason other than finding the whole thing hilarious.
