Professor Brainstorm is a major character in the mobile game Plants vs. Zombies Heroes.
He is a zombie professor who leads Brainy and Crazy classes. He formerly wanted to win a prize with his invention to travel to other dimensions, but Dr. Zomboss would rob him of this by stealing his invention and taking credit for his idea.
History[]
Background[]
Not much is known about Professor Brainstorm's origin, and who is his zombie fighter counterpart.
In Professor Brainstorm's introduction comic strips, Professor Brainstorm and an Imp can be seen showing their science projects to Dr. Zomboss in a science fair. However, Professor Brainstorm lost to the Imp due to Zomboss being green with envy, causing him to facepalm in frustration.
Plant Missions[]
Professor Brainstorm appeared in A Schooling at Zombie U teaching the zombies to eat more brains at a university, which he brainwashed according to Crazy Dave. When Green Shadow, Grass Knuckles, and Spudow attempted to stop him from doing so, the professor activated his "Zombie teleportation-er" to summon the zombies to stop them. However, Spudow defeated Professor Brainstorm by using his explosive head to destroy the machine. He can be seen writing on his board that he won't teach zombies to eat brains, which he was apparently forced to do.
Zombie Missions[]
In When Fungi Attack, Professor Brainstorm, Super Brainz, and Electric Boogaloo invaded Nightcap's secret dojo hut. They fought Nightcap, who was teaching the plants martial arts and managed to defeat Super Brainz and Electric Boogaloo easily. While he initially seemed to have the upper hand against Professor Brainstorm, the latter managed to use his zapper to defeat him and his mushrooms.
