Biography[]
Brother Blood makes his first appearance in "Waffles," where he kidnapped Cyborg and Beast Boy, (who at the time, are saying nothing but "waffles") and plots to torture them with the help of his trusty torture device, a newly invented robot named Pain Bot. Robin, Raven, and Starfire try to stop him, but Brother Blood traps them too and forces them to watch as Cyborg and Beast Boy are mercilessly ripped apart, electrocuted, burned alive, and blown apart by Pain Bot. All the while, they keep saying nothing but "waffles." Robin, Raven, and Starfire take it upon themselves to torture Brother Blood by doing nothing but saying and singing "Waffles," which drives him to madness. Brother Blood runs out of his evil lair, flailing and screaming, setting the Teen Titans free.
In "Little Buddies," Brother Blood fights with the Teen Titans on the dark streets of Jump City at night. All of Brother Blood's attacks are to no avail as the Titans are too powerful for him. Just as Robin tells him to give it up, Brother Blood unleashes his secret weapon: Pain Bot, back for revenge. Pain Bot tortures and maims all of the Titans as Brother Blood watches and laughs in satisfaction. Starfire uses her eye beams to slice Pain Bot's arms off, setting the Titans free, so Brother Blood sends out another set of arms. While he does this, Beast Boy distracts Pain Bot by using himself as bait, while Robin takes on Brother Blood by throwing a Birdarang at him and blowing him out of his boots.
After the destruction of Brother Blood, Cyborg starts to like Pain Bot and he steals him and keeps him for himself. Cyborg isable to train Pain Bot to act like less of a torture device and more of a little buddy. Since then, Pain Bot remains a loyal and heroic friend to Cyborg, putting a new hero into the world and leaving Brother Blood without an ally.
In "Baby Hands," Brother Blood is wreaking havoc in Jump City with a giant laser cannon that is also a giant memory-erasing doomsday device. He tries to blast the Teen Titans with it so they forget who they truly are. Recently, Robin has felt unappreciated by the other Titans, so he thinks that, if they lose their memory, he could mold them into better people. Robin then tricks the other Titans into getting blasted by the memory eraser; Robin then beats up Brother Blood before he could erase his memory.
Brother Blood later starts stealing a bunch of weapons and the Teen Titans have to stop him. Robin lies to the other Titans, claiming to have all the powers that they have, so they all expect him to defeat Brother Blood on his own. Robin eventually has to come clean and tell the other Titans the truth so that they can handle Brother Blood, while Robin does nothing but sit around, choreographing them with his baby hands.
In "Accept the Next Proposition You Hear," Brother Blood is having stomach problems during a fight with the Teen Titans. He begs the Titans to make their fight quick because of his cramps. The Titans actually feel sympathy for him and make sure to make their battle quick and to the point. Brother Blood invents a series of mind control devices, which he attempts to use on the Teen Titans, but all of them are destroyed before he can use them. Robin destroys his last mind control device and is about ready to take him down when, suddenly, Brother Blood voids his bowels and the stench makes Robin pass out. With Robin incapacitated, Brother Blood uses his last mind control device on the other Titans to make them obey his orders. Before he can give them a single order, he gets a huge stomach cramp and, realizing he needs to use the bathroom, runs to it. While he's in there, Robin wakes up and snaps the Titans out of their hypnotic trance and they all escape. After they leave, Brother Blood comes out of the bathroom, finally ready to fight, only to be disappointed with the fact that the Titans left.
The Titans start reading fortune cookies and taking their advice from them. Eventually, the fortune cookies begin to give them oddly specific orders, such as "Build a Metal Cage," "Punch Robin in the Face," and "Lock Robin in the Cage." Robin is quick to figure out that these cookies were made by Brother Blood. Brother Blood shows up and tells him his whole plan. He also says that he isn't going to have stomach cramps because he's started eating healthier now. Robin gets revenge on Brother Blood by doing bogus fortune-telling things on the other Titans. He reads Cyborg's palms, tells Beast Boy that Mercury is in retrograde, and shows Raven and Starfire a Magic 8-Ball. All of these things tell the Titans to "Punch Brother Blood in the Face." That is exactly what they did, eventually punching Brother Blood into the cage.

Brother Blood is an elderly, but strong and limber old man. He has pointed white hair that he has slicked up into devil horns. He has thick black eyebrows and dark black bags under his eyes. His face is very sculpted with chiseled features and pronounced cheekbones. He wears a black suit with a big red collar, red gloves, red boots, and a yellow belt.

Personality[]
Brother Blood is a maniacal and sinister old man, who is quite prolific and active for someone of his age. He is the wielder of a vast amount of political power and is recognized as a very well-respected man in the villainous community. He is also a genius inventor and he's built a number of doomsday devices such as mind control helmets, memory-erasing lasers, a giant butt, and most notably, Pain Bot. He is very easily annoyed, as he was driven to madness in "Waffles" by listening to the Titans repeatedly sing about waffles.
