| ~ Brain's catchphrase. |
The Brain, or simply known as Brain is the anti-heroic main antagonist of Animaniacs, one of the titular protagonists of Pinky and the Brain and of Pinky, Elmyra & the Brain, and a cameo character in Freakazoid!. He has an oversized brain, and is very knowledgeable. However, his attempts to conquer the world always fail. But the Brain doesn't let that bring him down, and by next night he will have a new trick up his sleeve.
He is voiced by Maurice LaMarche, who also voices Vincent Van Ghoul, Chancellor Neighsay, Inspector Gadget and Mr. Big in English, in Japanese he is voiced by Kenichi Ogata who is known for voicing King Dedede in Kirby of the Stars/Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, Gran Torino in My Hero Academia and Genma Saotome in Ranma ½.
Personality[]
Brain is a genius with a relaxed and cocksure personality. He almost never loses patience, even when Pinky commits silly errors that mess his plots completely (though he displays clear aggravation frequently). What's more, he seems to be self-centered.
Despite his plots, he truly believes that he will make the world a better place, will never resort to killing to accomplish his goals and deep down he cares deeply about Pinky. There are also some world domination plans even he will not attempt as they're sick even to him: for instance, he was unwilling to use a plan involving selling cigarettes to kids.
Brain's good intentions are highlighted with his rival called Snowball, a hamster who planned to conquer the world as well, but he's far more heinous and callous. Brain is grossed-out by Snowball's methods and will stop at nothing to prevent him from taking over the world.
Biography[]
Both Brain and Pinky are laboratory mice who underwent an experiment to make them rational. The experiment had different results on each of them, turning Brain into a super genius, while Pinky also becomes sentient but incredibly stupid. Brain then decided he would use his superior knowledge to take over the world and make it a better place using his intellect. He convinced Pinky to aid him in his plans, and the two of them try a new plan to achieve world domination every night.
