The Matchman

The Scientist

Dr. Rhoda Dendrite

Dr. Rhoda Dendrite

This brilliant middle-aged woman is the mental counterpart to Lance Corporeal's magnificent strength, and a co-founder of the VALentine organization. The youngest woman ever to win the Nobel Prize for medicine, she is the world's leading specialist in biogenetic research, with a strong secondary interest in neurophysiology.

It is her revolutionary research in these fields that helps to account for a portion of Matchman's extraordinary knowledge and abilities; she is responsible for his education in all areas of inquiry from a very early age. Short and sharp, she is constantly developing new techniques in order to stay one step ahead of Dr. Dejection's ceaseless perversions of science in the name of evil.

Appearance. A distinguished middle-aged woman with grey hair done up in a neat bun and elegant glasses, always in a crisp white lab coat - sharp, brilliant, and endlessly inventive.
