Braintrust
A genius inventor crippled by polio. Rusk was victimized by business interests, notably Clement Technologies, who marketed Rusk's discoveries but refused to pay him agreed-upon profit shares. Incensed, he constructed a robotic body and had his brain transplanted into it, attacking and killing those he felt had wronged him. He salvaged their brains, however, hooking them up to his own in a "gestalt" arrangement to give him greater and faster "computing power."
