I like it, a menage-a-us. And we shall call ourselves the Brotherhood of Dangerous Animals!!! [...] And vengeance... will be mine... Again, for real, this time. And when we get Niles Caulder... again... THE WORLD WILL BE OURS!!!
Mister Nobodysrc

The Brotherhood of Dangerous Animals were a trio of powerful beings assembled by Mister Nobody to deal with his dissatisfaction with his revenge on Niles Caulder. They quickly fell apart once Nobody was depowered and the rest were granted great size, causing them to turn on him and fall in love with each other, ending the Brotherhood.

History

Formation

After turning his archenemy Niles Caulder's creations against him, Eric Morden, aka Mister Nobody, a being with extradimensional powers, celebrated his victory in White Space until he got bored, and was confronted by Ezekiel the Cockroach, who demanded the destruction of the Earth.

The beginning of the Brotherhood

Morden realized that he could still get revenge on Niles, remembering that he had a cavewoman lover, so he decided to find her to turn her against him with the help of Ezekiel, forming an alliance. Forming a team, Ezekiel suggested recruiting the vengeful rat Admiral Whiskers, as he had sought revenge against the robotman Cliff Steele, one of Niles's creations, and Nobody agreed, asking if they needed someone else, but they agreed to start as a trio. Morden gave the name of the team to the "Brotherhood of Dangerous Animals", a name that pleased the two pests, and they laughed maniacally with Morden to take revenge against Niles.[1]

Attack on Danny the Street

The Brotherhood confronted painter Horst Eissman to steal the powerful relic, the Painting that Ate Paris, to lock Danny the Street inside, except the Dannyzens managed to escape. Searching for the woman, the Brotherhood manipulated Ernest Franklin, a metahuman who ate hair to learn people's pasts, to unexpectedly find Niles' daughter, Dorothy Spinner, who, terrified at the sight of them, transformed Ezekiel and Whiskers into giants, so feeling powerful, they expelled Morden. Giant and powerful, the Brotherhood began to devastate Danny and as Morden made an alliance with Niles and his team to stop his former teammates, Ezekiel was manipulated by Morden, causing him to identify himself as the true God, and began to eat his enemies, not realizing that it was the plan to escape from the painting.

Romance between leader and acolyte

Whiskers devoured Cliff as revenge, but Cliff tried to get out of it. With the entire team inside, except for Cliff, Morden made Ezekiel and Whiskers fall head over heels in love, sharing a kiss for Cliff to walk the rest of the team into Ezekiel. Niles' nuclear man, Larry Trainor, made a massive explosion with the help of his Negative Spirit, killing Whiskers and trapping Morden and Ernest inside the painting. Ezekiel was the only one to survive and celebrated his triumph, before being killed by the group that managed to survive, ending the Brotherhood.[1]
