Mento (character)
Mento (Steve Dayton) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. He would become an associate of the Doom Patrol, the husband of Elasti-Girl, and the adoptive father of Beast Boy.
Mento appeared in the first season of the Doom Patrol television series for DC Universe played by Will Kemp and Dave Bielawski.
Created by Arnold Drake and Bruno Premiani, Mento first appeared in Doom Patrol #91 (November 1964).
Steve Dayton, the world's fifth richest man, builds a helmet to enhance his mental abilities and calls himself Mento. This is an attempt on Dayton's part to impress Elasti-Girl (a.k.a. Rita Farr) of the Doom Patrol. Although his arrogant manner annoys the male field members of the team, he is successful, and in Doom Patrol #104 (June 1966), Mento and Elasti-Girl are married. They soon adopt Beast Boy (a.k.a. Garfield Logan). After Elasti-Girl's death, Mento becomes involved in the hunt for her killers, General Zahl and Madame Rouge. Dayton invents a form of uranium called Promethium to which is later used by Deathstroke and Cyborg.
In Swamp Thing, Mento is recruited by John Constantine for a small gathering of powerful beings to assist in a battle taking place in Hell. The demonic forces are facing an entity that could easily overwhelm and destroy them, even with the aid of divine forces. Using Mento to get a 'read' on the situation, John assists the battle with magical power. Despite the defeat of the entity, Sargon the Sorcerer and Zatara are killed and Mento is driven insane.
Dayton, now in a wheelchair, resumes his Mento identity and lashes out at Garfield, blaming him for the deaths of the original Doom Patrol. He then proceeds to create his own team, the Hybrid, to challenge the Teen Titans. After multiple encounters, the members of Hybrid defy Mento and join the Titans in curing him. Raven cures him of his madness and he seems to discard the helmet.
Much later, Dayton hires Deathstroke to find the Titans during the Titan Hunt storyline. Afterwards, he becomes the "Crimelord" and tries to frame Deathstroke for murder, but Dayton's identity and plans are revealed and Deathstroke is cleared of all charges.
One Year Later, Steve Dayton is revealed to have returned with the rest of the Doom Patrol. Though a member of the Patrol, he furiously writes novels (remarking that he intends to entitle the series My Greatest Adventure), supposedly spurred on by a creative streak created by the helmet. He also seems to have developed an addiction again to his helmet, as he claims that Rita is only in love with Mento and not Steve Dayton. He claims to remember his days as the Crimelord, calling them "a glitch in the helmet".
