synopsis
The supervillain-of-the-week is The Brain, who kidnaps Aqualad for more mental mischief. In what seems like record time, the enslaved Aqualad is not only brainwashed, but he is also endowed with superstrength, transforming him into the perfect weapon against Aquaman. Only after several awkward confrontations with his confused mentor does Aqualad regain his memory and rejoin the good-guy team, thereby affording Aquaman ample time to work out a strategy to outsmart the Brain and save the day again!
