History

Plasmus was a seemingly-human criminal that was broken out of confinement by Slade through his agent Cinderblock, whose mission was to cause trouble with the Teen Titans after Cyborg briefly left it following an ugly dispute with Robin. Awakened from his sleep, Plasmus transformed into a shapeshifting creature and caused all sorts of trouble with the team in a factory. However, Cyborg rejoined the team to help defeat Plasmus, causing him to revert to his sleeping human form.

Slade had Terra free Cinderblock, Plasmus, and Overload from imprisonment. The villains temporarily merged into a giant being called Ternion, but went their own ways after their battle with the Titans.

Plasmus resurfacesd as a recruit of the Brotherhood of Evil. When the Brotherhood carried out it's plans to eliminate young superheroes all around the Earth, Plasmus was sent in Trident's company into the deep sea, where they captured Aqualad and Tramm.

When Beast Boy and his Titans team arrived at the Brotherhood's base for battle, Plasmus joined the fight. He managed to catch Beast Boy in the fray, but again Raven used her astral self to render him unconscious, defeating him and returning him to his human form. He ended up flash-frozen along with most of the other villains in attendance.
