Professor Mark Erdel was a world-famous scientist who built a "robot brain" and teleportation device with which he hoped to explore space and other dimensions.
History
Mark Erdel's first test of his "Robot Brain" device resulted in the involuntary arrival on Earth of the Green Martian known as J'onn J'onzz, the Martian Manhunter. Shortly thereafter, Professor Erdel died of an apparent heart attack, brought on by the shock of seeing his alien guest's appearance.[1]
Years later, an investigation by the Thanagarian heroes known as Hawkman and Hawkgirl revealed that Erdel was actually killed with an electric shock by his own self-aware computer, so that its intelligence could roam the universe at will.[2]
