| Origin |
| Before World War II, Swiss
biochemist Arnim Zola discovered and decoded a cache of ancient scientific
papers written by a race of superhumans known as the Deviants. Turning
his discoveries into viable experiments Zola sought financing from Hitler's
Third Reich - offering his mind-transference techniques to create a copy of
the Furor's mind - which would be later used to create multiple iterations
of the
Hate Monger. Zola later cloned a new genetically
stronger body to replace his frail, dwarfish form. Zola's new body
housed his brain within the chest cavity to better protect it, and his face
was simulated by a hologram. Perched upon the shoulders instead of his
head is a device which controls the creatures cloned from the body of the
genius monster known as the Bio-Fanatic. |
