Brett (Food of the Gods)
From Multiversal Omnipedia
Brett was Edmond Delhurst's lab assistant. Like Professor Delhurst, he was balding, and assisted Delhurst in his experiments to try and cure male-pattern baldness. While working late one night in the university library Brett was attacked by one of the giant rats accidentally created by Neil Hamilton's experiments. He attempted to fend the monster off with a copy of Animal Farm by George Orwell, but failed and was dismembered by the animal. Jacques the exterminator arrived too late to save him, but was able to kill the rat with his homemade flamethrower.
