Monsieur Mallah is gorilla, who turned out to be evil, augmented by the Brain. Mallah remained the Brain's most trusted ally. Mallah discovered the Teen Titans' pets on the roof of the Brain's hideout in Jump City. Super Robin faced him one-on-one but after a drop kick, Mallah recovered and punched out Super Robin. Mallah then fired on the pets and imprisoned them in a cage. While taking them to a cell, Mallah was caught offguard when the pets broke free and beat him up. Mallah later helped the Titans cheer up the sad cloud raining on Jump City with a game of Head's Up Seven Up for chocolate milk. When Cyborg broke into the Brain's hideout to save the other Titans, Mallah nailed him from behind and he lost the cassette tape of his favorite song "Night Begins to Shine." The Titans vocalized and gave Cyborg strength. Mallah tried slapping Cyborg in the face but eventually Cyborg sidestepped and tossed him on his stomach. Cyborg knocked him out with a flying elbow. Mallah acted as baliff in the trial of the Teen Titans.
Mallah faced off against the Titans again after they took down Brain's robots but Kid Flash suddenly arrived and took Mallah out with one flying kick. During Crime Season, Mallah fired his bazooka at a bank but Raven redirected the blast back at him. Mallah tried to teach Starfire French but she did it in a montage and only learned three words. Monsieur Mallah supervised the construction of the Brain's Rain-Ray and took note when a guard was electrocuted from joining two live wires. The Titans arrived to stop them but the guards fired on them. Mallah gathered them and put them inside the prison cell. After the Titans escaped the prison cell, Robin was busy trying to lecture them about what dramatic irony was, he ignored the others' concern and backed into Mallah, who was eating a banana. Mallah punched him into the floor then continued punching while the others debated about helping or not because he would keep talking about irony if they did. Mallah picked up Robin by the leg and slammed him around.
Cyborg proposed to Robin they would save him if he stopped talking about irony. Robin refused because it was his pet peeve that people incorrectly used the word irony. Mallah punched his head from both directions, stomped, and swung. Suddenly, four wild dogs busted into the fortress and tackled Mallah. Brother Blood, The Brain, Gizmo, and Dr. Light agreed to hang out together and talk through their problems with the Teen Titans. Gizmo picked everyone up in the H.I.V.E. Truck in the suburbs but Brain was in the bathroom. While the others wondered how he used the bathroom, Monsieur Mallah opened the front door for Brain. Blood joked it involved a gorilla. They laughed. Mallah opened the sliding door on the truck, picked up and twirled Brain, and put him on the backseat. Brain told Mallah he would be back in a bit. Mallah removed toilet paper stuck on the bottom of Brain and buckled him in then smooched his dome. Brain blushed. Mallah waved goodbye as they departed. Mallah accepted a free invitation to a Space House and was unknowingly collected by Brainiac until the Skull Ship was destroyed.
Mallah piloted the Brain's float in the Codsville Thanksgiving Parade. As grand marshal, the Brain refused to let the Doom Patrol enter their float and risk scaring people. Mallah used one hand to hold the float back. The Doom Patrol eventually caved and left the parade. Sometime later, they tried to sneak into the parade. After the Brain's various weapons failed, Mallah's seat moved from the front to the rear where he manned two sunflower turrets. The gunfire hit the leash around the mother bear on the Patrol's float. She charged and lunged for Mallah.
Monsieur Mallah terrorized Jump City with his laser rifle. He blasted a hotel sign. It almost dropped on three children but Cyborg caught it in time. Beast Boy turned into a boa constrictor and squeezed Mallah then slammed him around into the street then tossed him into the air. Mallah was caught by Raven's big hand construct then smacked into the street and punched repeatedly. Robin threw three birdarangs into Mallah's rifle and they detonated. Cyborg grabbed his bandolier with an extended arm then pulled himself into knock Mallah off his feet with a clothesline. Starfire slammed a car into him then she carried him into space and dropped him, and pelted him with starbolts as he fell towards Jump City. The Titans jumped into the crater and continued bashing Mallah. Standards & Practices observed the carnage and intervened. They offered to help them clean up their act. Beast Boy was about to throw a trash can at Mallah's head but S made it vanish and stated they didn't want kids to imitate that behavior and suggested an alternate way to defeat their enemy.
Raven conjured axes. P made them vanish and stated they were too intense. Starfire produced a feral kitten to use. S made that vanish. Cyborg proposed taking out Mallah the old-fashioned way, a flint missile to the face. Mallah flinched. S said that would work but he can't shoot him so close. P suggested he take a few steps back. Cyborg complied. P advised a bit more. He did. P told him almost there. He complied. P told him that was perfect. Cyborg fired but the missile missed Mallah and hit the side of the Titans Tower. Robin found the current situation ridiculous and got out his staff. S told him to refrain from direct contact. Robin broke his staff over his knee in frustration. Standards & Practices told them they were just trying to help them avoid Backlash so they wouldn't get canceled. S told them they could be violent but they just had to make it "cartoony." Cyborg asked for more. P clarified silly and over the top then suggested hitting him with a whale. Beast Boy turned into a humpback whale and Cyborg bashed Mallah with him. Standards & Practices approved but objected to their booty victory dance. Raven conjured rope around Mallah but P found it too tight and made it vanish. Mallah bolted.
During Christmas, Mallah was at the Jump City Prison when the Titans broke Santa Claus out. Mallah served as Brain's caddie at the DC Invitational golf tournament. He would wind up Brain for his drives, drive the golf cart, and at least once stomp the ground to make sure the ball went into the hole. Brain lost to Cyborg but he refused to accept defeat. Their golf cart turned into a mech. Cyborg defeated them by using the rolled up novelty check as a club and swinging. To add insult to injury, Cyborg took their cart and ran them over on the way to get in one more round before sunset. Raven followed a bad lead to the park and came upon Mallah handing a briefcase to the Brain. She suspected Mallah robbed a bank but it turned out it was Brain's day off and his painting supplies were in the case. She conjured a fist construct and punched Mallah away. Raven learned the truth then told Brain about the contest between the Titans to solve crime in order to win a sweet 80s wave skipper. Brain was not interested in helping her. Mallah and Brain later sneaked into the Titans Tower and stole the skipper then returned home and used it on their inflatable pool. They were shocked to discover the Titans found them by using Batman's good leads.
One morning, Mallah made breakfast pancakes for the three young henchmen. They wanted to test their new death ray on city hall but he reminded them to clean their room first. Brain was happy to see Mallah's world-famous croissants with a side of eggs. Brain called it the perfect brain food and proclaimed Mallah was the best partner-in-crime an evil genius could have. Mallah noted it was perfect weather and suggested taking the henchmen to the park and burning it to the ground. Brain realized he forgot to tell Mallah that his young brother Brian was coming to visit. Mallah did a spit take on him and starting talking in French. Brain reminded him to speak English. Mallah was totally against Brian coming because something always went terribly wrong. Brain reminded Mallah Brian didn't get the brains in the family but he looked up to him and his approval meant a lot to him. Mallah added he was loud, clumsy, and rude. Brain asked Mallah to put up with Brian for a few days for him. Mallah agreed to. Brian arrived in his RV and backed up into their priceless Sinestro statue, claiming it came out of nowhere.
The henchmen were happy to see their uncle and couldn't wait for his present. Brian whistled and presented their new pet, a mutant bunny he created himself. It immediately tackled Mallah and attacked. Brian was surprised it took a liking to Mallah and then asked for help carrying a few of his bags. Brain volunteered Mallah. Brian dumped a ton of luggage on top of him. Brian made light of their evil lair and asked if they couldn't find an abandoned warehouse. Brain knew he was kidding and asked how it was like being a supervillain in Metropolis. Brian recalled a battle with Superman the other day, telling him it was time to take out the trash. Brain was impressed. Mallah was suspicious and asked why he came for a visit if Metropolis was so amazing. Brian stated he came to help out his big bro and show him what a great supervillain was. Brain was touched. Brian added the crime rate was dropping because it was the holidays, so he thought he should stay with his brother for a month. Mallah was shocked, did a spit take on Brain, and called for a conference in the kitchen with Brain.
Mallah was concerned Brian was going to ruin their important scheme. Brain was not concerned and reassured him Brian was family and everything was going to be just fine. They returned to the lair and discovered it was wrecked. Brian had a sound system he stole off a truck blaring. Mallah tried to get him to turn it down but Brian couldn't hear him. Mallah smashed it. Brain explained Mallah wasn't hip to heavy metal. Brian was fine with it and presented some bagpipes he stole and played it. Mallah stormed out of the room. The next morning, Mallah discovered the kitchen was a mess and there was no food, milk, or coffee. Brain explained Brian cooked them a big breakfast but his hunger got the best of him and he ate it all. Brian tried teaching the henchmen how to throw a grenade outside but it ended up in Mallah's bowl and blew up. Mallah lost a tooth. Brain reminded him it was just a few more weeks. Mallah trimmed his rose bush but Brian interrupted him. Brian needed to borrow money for an emergency, claiming it was an emergency. Mallah asked how much he needed but Brian took his whole wallet and left.
Some time later, Mallah finished trimming the bush into the shape of a heart. Brian returned in a motorcycle. He rammed a garbage can with a cat in it, a mail bin, and a cow then ran over Mallah and destroyed the bush. He tried to offer Mallah a ride to make up for it. Mallah refused and asked where he got the bike from. Brian revealed he bought it with the money he lent him. Mallah simmered with anger. Brian explained it was an emergency because the seller was going to sell it to Riddler if he couldn't come up with the cash. Brian took off but backed into the house instead then ran over Mallah again. Brain went into Brian's RV and noticed he was keeping up with his knitwork. Brain keyed on what looked like another knitting project. Brian revealed she was his wife, Natalia, and they hurried to tie the knot before their relationship unraveled. Brain broke the bad news to Brian that Mallah wanted him gone because he kept messing up. Brian broke out in tears and begged Brain for another chance. He confessed he never fought with Superman and in fact, Superman used him as a garbage can to throw out his old newspapers.
Brain mused he and Mallah did need help for their scheme reveal party where they planned to surprise their henchmen with a brand-new super suit that can transform anything into a personal playground. Brian boasted he was an amazing party planner. Brain agreed but emphasized it was his last chance. Brian robbed a grocery store, made the punch by using himself as a blender, lit the tiki torches with one of his oversized cannons, made a cake himself, and inflated supervillain balloons using himself. Mallah admitted the party was incredible. Just as Brain was about to reveal the super-suit, Brian hopped over the house on his motorcycle and ran everything over, including the Mutant Bunny and everything he set up for the party. He drove into the suit and knocked it over. Brian continued and took a selfie. The henchmen cried. Mallah called Brian an imbecile. Brian just wanted to do a cool reveal but hadn't learned how to drive the motorcycle yet. The headlight exploded. Brain had enough and demanded he leave. Brian asked for several more chances and promised he wouldn't screw at least one up. Brain refused and told him to leave.
On the news, they discovered Brian stole the super-suit and was rampaging in the city. They rushed over to Brian's location. Brian claimed he was helping with their evil plan and turning the city into his own personal playground. Brain explained he was simply going to use the suit to build a playground for the henchmen. Brian still didn't get it and cleared some space by kicked away buildings. Brain warned the suit wasn't designed for that much destruction and it was going to break. To their relief, the Teen Titans arrived. Brain hugged Robin, asked for their help, and quickly explained Brian was his brother and trying prove himself, just in the wrong way. He wanted to them to let Brian defeat them so he could prove himself and stop rampaging. The Titans were not willing to cooperate until Mallah presented his world-famous croissants. Robin accepted their ridiculous offer. They each took a dive despite Brian not even landing a hit on them. Beast Boy even posed as a fish in a barrel. Cyborg was so upset at not being hit by a flurry of bolts he knocked his own head off. The Titans were not happy. Brian finished them off.
The Titans were placed in a cage and ate croissants in Brain and Mallah's house. Brain, Mallah, and Brian toasted. Brian was eager to go and hit up some local craft fairs with Natalia. Cyborg and Beast Boy let the truth slip. Brian was upset about being tricked but the argument was interrupted by the henchmen driving Brian's motorcycle. Mallah panicked because they weren't programmed to drive one and were going to get themselves killed. They raced after the henchmen in Brian's RV. Brain wanted to stop them before they reached a Wayne Enterprises construction zone. Brian instructed the henchman in the sidecar to pull a lever to activate a brake but they were all for various weapons. Brian realized he didn't know where the brake was. Brain fretted his close-knit family was in danger. Brian got an idea and ordered Mallah to turn right instead of straight after the henchmen. Brian took out a ball of yarn and knitting needles. The henchmen crashed through the fence and were tossed in the air, in danger of falling onto exposed rebars.
Brian knitted a life-size playset and tossed it over the hole. The henchmen safely landed and slid into Brain's arms. Brain apologized for deceiving him but Brian downplayed it as what any supervillain would do. Brain emphasized he only did it because he cared about him. Brian was touched. Brain added he could be a great supervillain but he just needed the confidence. Brian admitted he just did it so Brain would be proud of him. Mallah was moved to tears. Brian revealed he always dreamed of knitting professionally and would rather create than destroy. Brain implored him to follow his dreams. They tried to hug but ended up on their backs. Back at home, the henchmen enjoyed the playset all day without getting scuffed. Brain loved his new body dozy. Brian revealed to Mallah he knitted him a new rose bush. The Titans were confined within it. Mallah loved it and hugged Brian. Robin demanded they be freed. The Mutant Bunny sniffed and licked Robin then prepared to eat him.
In anticipation of condemning the Doom Patrol's home, Brain had Mallah on standby outside in backhoe loader. However, once Mallah got the signal and approached, the home's defense system activated and it produced robot arms and legs then defended itself. Mallah got in a shot with the backhoe but the house kicked the loader off, shot tiles at him, and shoved it aside. Mallah hit a green button and a wrecking ball activated along with the two arms with loaders as hands. The house used a tree to bat the wrecking ball and the aparatus snapped off. Mallah charged but the house ripped Brain's house off its property, tossed it, and smashed Mallah and the loader. Mallah exited the local ice cream parlor but the Doom Patrol van zipped by and his scoops fell on the pavement. During a string of robberies in Codsville, Hawkman suntanned near Pier 25 with Brain and Monsieur Mallah. Mallah attended the 100th anniversary party at the Warner Bros. Studios.
