Biography
Early life
At some point in his life, Brendan gained a metahuman ability to turn organic matter into wax.
Brendan had a fear of leaving Smallville High after graduation and wanted everyone important to be with him because he wasn't accepted into any colleges he applied to. Brendan forced his father who owned a factory to make a replica of Smallville High's interior inside or he'll turn his wife into a statue.
Forever
Brendan kidnapped Haley Timmonds, Wendell Johnson, Delia Watkins, Chloe Sullivan, and Lana Lang and placed them in his Smallville High. Brendan kept an eye on them and had them play along like they were still in school or he'll turn them into a statue.
Brendan reveals to Chloe that he also has Lana and unpetrifies her. Chloe brings her up to speed and reveals they have a plan. One of the captive students mentions to Brendan that Chloe has a crush on him, and she plays along long enough for Lana to knock him unconscious from behind.
They grab the keys and head for the door, trying to flee the factory, but Brendan catches up to the third girl, Haley, and petrifies her. He then kills her by pulling off her head, and threatens to do the same to Chloe and Lana.
Clark Kent and Lois Lane came to their rescue and managed to stop him. He finds a petrified Chloe while Lois finds her own way in through the vents but is petrified by Brendan. He grabs a bat to break her but Clark blocks his strike and tries to talk him into facing reality. Brendan turned into a statue after trying to turn Clark into one and Brendan then died leaving his waxified victims revived except for the ones he killed.
Powers
Brendan had the ability to freeze people, turning them into wax and could turn them back by will and touch.
