Mad Mod


Mad Mod is a fictional character in the DC Universe. The character is known as one of the first recurring villains of the Teen Titans. Mad Mod first appeared in "Teen Titans" #7 and was created by Bob Haney and Nick Cardy. One of the first villains ever to menace the Teen Titans, Mad Mod (real name Neil Richards) was a Carnaby Street fashion designer with no actual superpowers of his own. His assumed name is derived from the popular Mod style in England at the time. He used

having renounced crime and designed the Jurgans Titans team's costumes. The character's clothing lines would later be referenced on occasion in various "Teen Titans" books, with the implication that Mod is a popular clothing designer on par with other real world fashion designers in the DC Universe. In "The New 52" (a 2011 reboot of the DC Comics universe), Mad Mod was a member of a group known as "Diablo", that seeks to prevent the original Teen Titans from regaining their memories of their original

incarnation of the group. Mad Mod is portrayed as a hipster figure as opposed to a "mod" complete with a handlebar mustache, much younger than his pre-"New 52" incarnation. Mad Mod interrogates the super-heroine Bumblebee after her husband is kidnapped by Mister Twister who Diablo seeks to stop. When Mad Mod realizes that the Titans have regained their memories of their past activities, Mad Mod orders the team killed in order to stop Mister Twister from using them in an occult ritual. During the Mad Mod's heyday as

The term "Mad Mod, Poet God" was used by Peter Milligan for the unrelated DC character Shade, the Changing Man. Another unrelated DC character is the Mad Mod Witch from "The Unexpected", later revealed to be a resident of the Dreaming known as "the Fashion Thing". In the Titans Tomorrow future

Such mesh network configurations are also common in Europe, where STPs have not

Somatosensory evoked potential


Somatosensory evoked potential (SEP or SSEP) is the electrical activity of the brain that results from the stimulation of touch. SEP tests measure that activity and are a useful, noninvasive means of assessing somatosensory system functioning.

SEP components include a series of positive and negative deflections that can be elicited by virtually any sensory stimuli. For example, SEPs can be obtained in
