Biography[]
Early life[]
At some point in his life, Brendan gained his metahuman ability to turn organic matter into wax. Brendan had a fear of leaving Smallville High after graduation and wanted everyone important to be with him because he wasn't accepted into any colleges he applied to. Brendan forced his father, who owned a factory, to make a replica of Smallville High's interior or he'd turn his wife, who he hated, into a statue.
Forever[]
When Chloe Sullivan was preparing the last issue of the Smallville Torch, she signs her photographer Brendan Nash's yearbook. During that, Brendan used his powers to petrify her and brought Chloe to his fake school. Not noticing the switch, Chloe investigated the empty hallways of the "school" and realized it was not real but a set. Brendan kidnapped Hayley Timmonds, Wendell Johnson, Delia Watkins, Chloe Sullivan, and Lana Lang and placed them in his pretend Smallville High. Brendan kept an eye on them through cameras and had them play along like they were still in school or he would turn them into a statue.
Brendan reveals to Chloe that he brought Lana Lang there and unpetrifies her. Chloe brought her up to speed and revealed they have a plan. One of the captive students mentions to Brendan that Chloe has a crush on him, and she played along long enough for Lana to knock him unconscious from behind. They grabbed the keys and head for the door in the cellar, trying to flee the factory. But Brendan caught up to the third girl, Haley, and petrifies her. He then killed her by cutting off her head, and threatens to do the same to Chloe and Lana. He then tossed her head towards them and it shattered at their feet.
Clark Kent and Lois Lane came to their rescue and managed to stop him. He found a petrified Chloe while Lois found her own way in through the vents but was petrified by Brendan. He grabbed a bat to break her, but Clark blocked his strike with his body and tried to talk him into facing reality. Brendan turned into a statue himself after trying to turn Clark into one, and he subsequently died when his statue fell down the staircase and smashed, leaving his waxified victims revived except for the ones he killed.
