History: (Doom Patrol #49)-Once upon a time a German actress fell in love with her reflection, and she had an affair with her mirror. As time passed the mirror lover vanished and was replaced with a crudely faked copy. Brokenhearted and full of rage, the actress threw battery acid at the mirror, scarring and killing it. The mirror was thrown in a city dump, and the actress shot herself. The spirit of the dead mirror was brought to life after receiving psychic messages through its’ dreams. The messages gave the spirit an identity, a name…Alias the Blur. The mastermind Mr. Nobody was assembling a group of super-humans through these dream messages; they were instructed to use a magical poem to free him from a painting where he was currently trapped. Alias the Blur met up with Agent"!" and Love Glove, and together they freed Mr. Nobody. The group became the second incarnation of the Brotherhood of Dada.

(Doom Patrol #50-52)-Alias and the Brotherhood began causing havoc in Venice, alerting the Doom Patrol. The Brotherhood trounced their foes and set into motion a plan that would shape the world into what Mr. Nobody thought it should be. Pentagon agents were soon called in, and the Brotherhoods’ plans were brought to a screeching halt. The superhuman government agent Yankee Doodle shattered Alias the Blur into a thousand pieces, ending its’ tortured existence.
