With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

Did the Light resurrect Ocean Master like in canon? I know he was a water zombie for a minute, but did they fill his seat with somebody else or bring him back?
 
Brain - I don't even know why this guy is a supervillain. I feel like he's the sort of person Paul might try to "reform", only he never shows up so there opportunity isn't even there. (Where is he as a mad genius on the Sivana scale?)
Brain, like the Sivannas, is on the "torture children for science" end of the mad scientist scale. He's not just a genius with a grudge like Cold. Frankly Paul got lucky with the Sivannas, given they are open to social connections (if disdainful of the intelligence of most people), and happy to take on interesting targets Paul points them at. Brain doesn't seem to derive the same enjoyment from testing himself against opponents, and his specialty seems to lie more in the realm of biology which requires test subjects.
 
what goals do they have in common enough to make Luthor look past the downsides of working with them?

These are desperate times, and it's not like refusing to work with Smiley would make it go away. At least having it as "a member of the Light" means Luthor might get some indication what it's up to.

As the saying goes, it is better to have him inside the tent pissing out than outside the tent pissing in.

To be fair to Brain, if you gave him a laboratory and a nice residence to share wtih Mallah, he'd likely happily work for the "good guys" as readily as the bad.
...right up until those pesky "moral standards" got in the way of scientific progress!, anyway.
