History[]

Mad Mod first faces the Teen Titans in a school that he creates himself. He tries to get them to listen to what he says but the Titans are determined to bring him down. Robin finds out that the real Mad Mod is hiding in a secret room of the school, operating machines, and that they were facing an illusionary Mad Mod.

Mad Mod later gets revenge on the Titans by disrupting the Fourth of July and turning Jump City to a bizarre version of England. He uses his cane to steal Robin's youth and becomes young again. The rest of the Titans try to defeat him and save Robin but their ideas become failures, due to their argument. They finally managed to sneak up on Mod and Robin (who is a big man) grabs the cane and regains his youth. Mad Mod retains his looks.

Somehow, Mad Mod managed to regain his youth and was recruited into the Brotherhood of Evil. He participated in a race with Gizmo, Ding Dong Daddy, and other villains but was stopped by Red X, as his vehicle was pasted next to Control Freak’s car. When the Titans attacked the villains in the final battle in the Brotherhood's base, Mad Mod was defeated and was flash-frozen with the rest of the villains.

Powers and Abilities[]

Mad Mod has no superpowers, but he is a master of technological trickery and can control robots and holographic projectors with a ruby-handled cane. At one point he was able to use that particular cane to drain the youth of someone and make them big and himself young again. He also employs screens that use optically induced hypnosis to submit his victims to his will. Through his hypnosis and holograms, it looked like he could control both matter and the laws of physics.
