He first appeared in Justice League of America #234 (December 1985)<br /><br />Geoffrey Thibodeux was a small-framed physicist who was granted a bulky body and gravity powers by wristbands provided by the Overmaster, who drafted him into the original Cadre under the alias Black Mass. Following their battle with the Justice League of America, Black Mass was sent to prison. Years later, he briefly lost his wristbands to Wally Tortolino in a card game but had them returned. Eventually the wristbands and their power bonded permanently with his body. During the Joker’s 'Last Laugh' riots at the Slab, Black Mass used his powers to draw the entire facility into a gravity well. A bullet to the head left Black Mass a vegetable, but he retained his powers and is now the cellmate of Doctor Polaris, unwittingly keeping the magnetic villain's powers in check. Still brain damaged, Black Mass was last seen rejoining the Cadre under the leadership of Polaris in San Francisco. They fought the Power Company, who ultimately tricked Black Mass into betraying Polaris (Power Company #5, August 2002). Presumably, they then shared a cell again.<br /><br />Black Mass has recently resurfaced in Justice League of America #17, along with Crowbar and Nightfall, trying to leave America and escape capture. They were stopped by Black Lightning.<br /><br />At some point, Black Mass met his demise and has been identified as one of the deceased entombed below the Hall of Justice.<br /><br />Other media: Television<br /><br /> * Black Mass (alongside Cadre members Crowbar, Fastball, and Shatterfist) appears in the Justice League Unlimited episode "Clash." They were defeated by Superman and Batman. Black Mass later returns as a member of Gorilla Grodd's Secret Society."Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915477135063595894.post-60169746128913452072010-02-25T21:26:50.209-06:002010-02-25T21:26:50.209-06:00GENIUS!!

I'm trying to think of the name of a DC character -- I believe he's a villain. He's a black character, overweight, and I think he's mentally challenged, sort of a childlike personality and maybe has some kind of energy negating powers or such.<br /><br />I saw him once in an issue of the Power Company where he was used to help defeat Dr. Polaris. I think the Manhunter clone character in that title told him if he'd help defeat Polaris, they'd get his puppy back for him (which had died years earlier). I know I haven't given you much to go on. Ring any bells? You can hit me up on e-mail for a response.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />DamonDamonOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04567271838563386766noreply@blogger.com
