Big Brain is an apparent leader of the Jupiter's Clan as he is shown issuing commands to other Mutants on multiple occasions through a walkie-talkie. Big Brain apparently suffers from an extreme case of hydrocephalus and goitres, explaining his large and distended head and bloated throat. Due to his physical condition, Big Brain is incapable of walking and is confined to an old-fashioned wheelchair. Big Brain is portrayed by actor Desmond Askew.
Located in an electronics filled house in the mutants' nuclear test village home, Big Brain is found by protagonist and husband of the late Lynn Carter Doug Bukowski. Attempting to interrogate Big Brain, Doug learns about the origin of the mutants; when he threatens Big Brain with his baseball bat, Big Brain summons an axe-wielding Pluto.
Doug eventually succeeds in killing Pluto but, concerned for his baby, cannot spare the time to kill Big Brain. Then Big Brain commands Lizard to kill Catherine on his walkie talkie. He is later killed by Beast.
Big Brain's voice is earlier heard over Goggle's walkie-talkie, telling the other mutants that they must kill all of the Carters.
In the graphic novel The Hills Have Eyes: The Beginning Big Brain makes a small appearance where his mutilated corpse, dragged from his wheelchair, is found later by the mutant leader Hades, sometime after the events of The Hills Have Eyes.
