In Reality Z-25 31-H, Jesse Brain was a particularly tenacious supervillain. A mad scientist whose head had been reduced to a brain and eyes floating in a spherical tank, he was in other respects a surprisingly ordinary person, setting aside his ambitions of world domination.
Description
Physical appearance
Jesse Brain was a thin young woman with blond hair, one lock of which was dyed black. She usually wore a “witchy” outfit with included black boots, a cape and a high collar as well as a fairly ordinary shirt and skirt. (COMIC: For Whom The Toll Bells)
Personality
Unlike her father, who had relatively normal tastes but relished in acting like a villain, Jesse had extremely gothic, “witchy” tastes, being incapable of sleeping in a bedroom that wasn't adorned with gargoyles and pits of hellfire — yet, simultaneously, had little interest in doing villainous thing, having concerns more at home with those of an average teenaged college student. She was only occasionally persuaded by the Doctor to lend a hand with his evil schemes. She was impulsive and independent, prone to sarcastic remarks even about her own father.

Powers & abilities
Although only a student by witch standards, Jesse was already a powerful magic user. She could set up a summoning ritual to bring forth a Griffin from another dimension and also displayed the ability to turn her room into a sorcerous dungeon, complete with bottomless pits and gargoyles, within minutes.

Biography
Summoning Mervin
At a point when he had already been the nemesis of Captain Evening for some time, Doctor Brain secretly recruited his daughter, who was studying witchcraft at New York University, for a new scheme to get rid of him. The father and daughter (with the help of two of Brain's henchmen) participated in a summoning ritual to bring forth a Griffin from the Sixth Realm and bind him to this world until he killed Captain Evening. The Griffin took flight, Doctor Brain and his daughter parted ways once more, and neither thought anything more of it for a long time. (COMIC: For Whom The Toll Bells)
Falling out with Alicia
A few weeks later, Jesse had a falling out with her college friend (and roommate) Alicia due to her humiliating Jesse in class by smugly answering a question about which Jesse had come up empty. She impulsively decided to move back in with her father, bursting into his home with little warning and immediately settling herself back in one of the bedrooms, giving her father nary a chance to protest. Although neither Brain realised, the Griffin had just been freed from its magical bonds by Captain Evening and “Jenny Everywhere” and vowed to take revenge on Doctor Brain and “his rotten offspring”.
