Editing Controller PL6

'''Controller'''

''Basil Sandhurst was a research scientist whose reputation for unorthodox practices and theories resulted in his being barred from all legitimate commercial and governmental research centers. Thanks to the influence of his brother Vincent, an unscrupulous lawyer, Sandhurst found work at Cord Industries, one of the leading competitors of Stark Industries. During a visit by his brother, Sandburst, feeling stifled by the mundane routine of his work, went into a frenzy, wrecking valuable instruments and machinery. Attempting to pacify his brother, Vincent accidentally pushed him into a countertop, upon which were vessels filled with volatile chemicals. The chemicals exploded, scaring and crippling Basil Sandhurst but leaving Vincent relatively unscathed. Consumed by guilt, Vincent embezzles funds from Cord Industries to outfit his paralyzed brother with an automated laboratory of his own. Sandhurst used the facilities to create a "mental wave absorbatron," a device that drained the cerebral energies of whoever was connected to it and transferred it to a uniquely-equipped exoskeleton that the crippled Sandhurst wore, in the form of motive power. Calling himself the Controller, Sandhurst devised palm-sized "slave discs" which, when affixed to a person's forehead, converts that person's cerebral energies into an unusual form of broadcast power that is transmitted to the abaorbatron, then re-transmitted to the exoskeleton where it is converted to a simulated-life-motive force. Although he managed to enslave an entire town, the Controller was defeated by Iron Man by being tricked into going out of the absorbatron's reception / transmission range. Later, as an ally of Thanos, the Controller was given modified slave discs, augmented by Titanian technology, which directly beamed the converted cerebral energies to the Controller without the bulky absorbatron machines as a medium. The Controller's current activities are unknown.''
