Mister Twister (comics)

Mister Twister is the name of three supervillains appearing in comic books published by DC Comics.

The Bromwell Stikk incarnation of Mister Twister first appeared in The Brave and the Bold #54 (July 1964), and was created by Bob Haney and Bruno Premiani. He is the first villain who Robin, Kid Flash, and Aqualad fought as the Teen Titans.

The demon incarnation of Mister Twister first appeared in Titans Hunt #2 (January 2016), and was created by Dan Abnett and Stephen Segovia.

Dan Judd is a writer who decides to research his latest crime novel by becoming a criminal. Becoming Mister Twister, he forms a gang. When Superman stumbles upon his crime sprees, Twister gets away by having Superman rescue some bystanders from danger. When Judd's gang discovers that they are being used for his novel, they double-cross him and rob him. Upon deducing Twister's identity, Superman rescues Judd and rounds up his gang. Judd ends up in prison, where he decides to write a novel on prison life.

The second Mister Twister is Bromwell Stikk. He was born in the small town of Hatton Corners. His ancestry can be traced back to colonial times where his ancestor Jacob Stikk leased the town to colonists for the price of a feather from a passenger pigeon. Each year, the town elders give the pigeon feather to the Stikk family as payment.

In the present day, Bromwell Stikk leaves the town to live in exile on Goat Island. While there, he discovers a Native American cave and a shaman's medicine staff. When Bromwell dips the staff in a special brew, it gains the ability to control the forces of nature. With his new powers, Bromwell becomes Mister Twister and returns to Hatton Corners to take revenge on the people who spurned him. He demands payment of the feather of a passenger pigeon that was never given to his later ancestors. Due to the extinction of the passenger pigeon, the mayor is unable to pay. Twister punishes the town by summoning a tornado that whisks away the town's teenage populace. Upon enslaving the teenagers, Twister brings them to Goat Island and has them erect a stone tower in his honor. Robin, Kid Flash, and Aqualad arrive in Hatton Corners and learn of the incident, and head off to Goat Island. Kid Flash manages to erect the tower for the children, as Aqualad summons a large whale to move the island. When Twister discovers the island is not in its usual location, he causes havoc in Hatton Corners. He manages to subdue Aqualad and Kid Flash before Robin disarms Twister of his staff. Twister is taken into custody and the children are reunited with their parents. Afterwards, Robin, Aqualad, and Kid Flash form the Teen Titans.

It is later revealed that the Teen Titans' battle with Mister Twister had caught the attention of Antithesis, a malevolent entity who uses Twister as an instrument of revenge. He summons Twister and transforms him into the Gargoyle. In this new form, Gargoyle fights the Teen Titans. As Gargoyle, Bromwell sows doubt in all the Teen Titans except for Robin. Robin surrenders, allowing him to be transported to Limbo so that he can fight Gargoyle. He smashes Gargoyle's ring and traps him in Limbo.

Many years later during Infinite Crisis, Mister Twister is among the mystics who bind the Spectre to Crispus Allen.
