Matter Master

Matter Master is a DC supervillain who wields the Mentachem wand, a device that allows him to transmute and control matter in virtually any form, making him a recurring threat to Hawkman during the Silver Age.

Gardner Fox and Joe Kubert conjured Matter Master into existence in The Brave and the Bold #35 in 1961, planting this DC villain firmly in the fertile soil of the Silver Age — that era of gleaming imagination when science-fiction concepts and colorful rogues ruled the spinner racks. Over more than six decades, this antagonist has proven durable enough to earn a place in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe, DC's own hall of fame for characters worth remembering, and has shared pages with heavy-hitters like Hawkman, Green Lantern, The Flash, and Superman. Twelve catalog appearances and a key-issue credit make Matter Master a rewarding discovery for any Silver Age devotee digging deeper into DC's rich, strange history.
