The Puppeteer originally known as the Puppet Master, is a DC Comics supervillain.
Origin
Jordan Weir first appeared as a villain to Green Lantern. His schtick was a "hyptno-ray" which allowed him to control most individuals that came under its sway. Jordan was defeated by Green Lantern, and except for an apperance working for Doctor Destiny plaguing the Justice League, wasn't seen for several years until resurfacing as a hired gun for the villianous organization, the H.I.V.E., who hired him to eliminate the Titans. Though he was able to sucessfully able to control Wonder Girl, Starfire, Cyborg and Kid Flash simultaneously, the remaining Titans ( Robin, Raven and Beast Boy (then called Changeling)), were able to free their comrades and track down and imprison the Puppeteer. He may be responsible for the deaths of the family of Adrian Chase. The methods fit some of his past crimes (an exploding marionette), but whether he was responsible has not been confirmed. He was freed from jail by Wildebeest, along with the Disruptor, Gizmo and one of the Tridents (see Trident, it's complicated). Trident, Gizmo and Disruptor were recaptured. The fate of Weir is undetermined.
