Brute and his associate Glob are nightmares created by the dream lord Morpheus.

Following Morpheus' disappearance, Brute and Glob found themselves at a loose end and created a realm of their own, the 'Dream Stream', in the unconscious mind of a young boy named Jed, drawing a scientist named Garrett Sanford into the dream and making him believe (apparently for their own amusement) he was a superhero called the Sandman and that they were his servants. When Sanford died, they replaced him as the Sandman with the disembodied spirit of Hector Hall, formerly the Silver Scarab. Eventually, Morpheus returned to punish his wayward servants and Brute was returned to the Dreaming.

Waking the Sandman

Brute, along with Glob escaped their punishment at some point and brainwashed Sanderson Hawkins into becoming the new Sandman after a battle with Mordru put Hawkins into a limbo state with part of his mind stuck in the Dreaming. Hawkins was later saved by the JSA and after a battle with Doctor Fate and Fury, Brute and Glob were imprisoned once again.[2]
