—Dominic Lanse to Caitlin Snow[src]


Dominic Lanse (died December 2017), designated Subject Six by Clifford DeVoe and nicknamed Brainstorm by Cisco Ramon, was one of the 12 meta-humans who were created by the dark matter exposure on Central City Bus 405. He was attacked by Amunet Black and injured in the process, but he was later healed and rescued by Caitlin Snow. However, Amunet captured Dominic again and sold him to DeVoe, who proceeded to temporarily take over his body, killing Dominic in the process.

Biography

According to Marlize DeVoe while under oath, she and Clifford DeVoe first encountered Dominic Lanse at some point after the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator explosion[1] whilst the latter was honoring his late father at an ALS charity gala.[2]

Clifford picked Dominic to be his new host for when he finally disposed of his own body, which was weakening from ALS, because of Dominic's health and nobody would notice a change in his personality once this occurred. DeVoe subsequently kept watch over Dominic in his day-to-day life, waiting for the perfect time to strike.

On the day Barry Allen exited the Speed Force, Dominic was riding Central City Bus 405 along with other 11 people. They were all affected by dark matter and transformed into meta-humans.[3]

Around Christmas, Dominic was captured by Amunet Black and became injured after a piece of alcino alloy was lodged in his neck when Amunet shot him during an escape attempt. Amunet then kidnapped Caitlin Snow to operate on Dominic in an abandoned hospital. Caitlin discovered that Dominic was a telepath and helped him escape by reversing the sleeping gas to knock Amunet and her henchmen unconscious. Amunet recovered and prepared to kill both Dominic and Caitlin but they were saved by Cisco Ramon, Ralph Dibny and Harrison Wells.

On the way to Barry Allen's Christmas party, Dominic was abducted by Amunet again and sold to Clifford DeVoe and Marlize. DeVoe then transferred his own consciousness and powers into Dominic's body, framing Barry for his murder.[4]

Later, DeVoe finds Barry and his meta cellmates: Ramsey Deacon, Sylbert Rundine and Mina Chaytan and steal their powers, except for Barry's. Then, he transfers his mind into Becky Sharpe and flees with Dominic's body as well; Dominic died following this.[5]

Behind the scenes

  • In the DC Comics, Dominic Lanse is one of the few supervillains to use aliases Brain Storm or Brainstorm.
  • In the series, Clifford DeVoe takes over the body of Dominic Lanse, a.k.a. Brainstorm. The DC Comics versions of the Thinker and Brainstorm, specifically the Axel Storm and Fred Storm versions had costume designs very similar with one of DeVoe's costumes, the purple suit with cauldrons and massive headgear used for amplifying their powers.
