Who is Brother Power?

Origin Brother Power is not truly alive rather he is the result of some bizarre transformation of living material to living. He originates in the 1960's when a small group of hippies living in an abandoned tailor shop put on old suit on a dummy and the combination of rain, dust, the heat from a radiator and a lightning strike brought the dummy to life. The hippies later discovered the now almost alive dummy and named him Brother Power. Creation Brother Power’s first appearance was in Brother Power the Geek #1 in 1968. His creation was somewhat of an oddity, for a medium which takes its motivation from many different genres, he is one of the few characters ever developed around the concept of hippies, or with the intention of appealing to them specifically. Character Evolution The character is relatively forgotten, although his initial stories involved more of a fantasy, romantic or comedic element as opposed to superhero style stories. He has in modern comics been reinvented along the lines of a magical character. Major Story Arcs The hippies around Brother Power took an immediate liking to him and taught him to speak and sent him to school.
