Name the three people who have been the Thinker.

I can only think of Clifford Devoe

Cliff Carmichael.

You've got one left and he is the current Thinker.

The current thinker is Clifford Devoe "resurrected" as a Computer program (per Flash & JLA), non?

The only other ones that come to mind are the brief times Rick Flagg and Amanda Waller wore the helmet.

I wish they'd bring Carmichael back. He was a villain you really loved to hate.

The current Thinker is a program based off of DeVoe's brain as a program, but is still under another name. This Thinker was also a pain in the back side for Batman before DeVoe's brain became involved.

Des Conner?

(Had to cheat and go look that one up.... It's funny I don't think he's been named that outside the Bat Books, has he?)

I have to appologize to everyone, There is a third Thinker for like one issue but has nothing to do with the current Thinker. Since rouge2 has the most concise answer, I'll give him the next question.

Thanks ohcysp,

Keeping with the Thinker theme: In a still unexplained continuity gaffe one of the above Thinker's has died on-panel twice. Which one? Name the books it happened in and how he died in each case.

I know it's Cliff Carmichael, and once was in Suicide Squad, but that's all I know/remember.

For my own sanity, can somebody recap the Thinker history? Cliff Carmichael used to be Ronnie Raymond's high-school nemesis, I don't know how he got the helmet-- not how the orinial THink (is that DeVoe?) lost it and/or died. Can somebody fill in the gaps?

I think it was DeVoe who was killed by the Weasal, or they thought he was dead. It was Suicide Squad for the book. His throat was slashed by the Weasal and then he died of cancer. I'm not sure if it was the same issue.

Well I_M, if I answered your question, I'd also be answering mine (that should be a big enough hint as to which thinker it was).

Ohcysp is part-way there.

Clifford Devoe died for the first time in Suicide Squad/Doom Patrol Special when the Weasel ripped open his throat.

He turned up alive but not well a few years later in another book dying from cancer. No mention was made of the Weasel incident. Any guesses on which book?

If I remeber right, it was a Suicide Squad/ Doom Patrol team up. I rememeber that almost everyone died, but in the comics no ever really dies.

actually the exceptions to the rule that no one really dies are Bucky and Uncle Ben
