![]() ![]() Sinister maintained a large collection of clones of his underlings. It was later revealed that Sinister (who was originally a scientist in the late 19th century before meeting Apocalypse) had worked with the Nazis during World War II because of the concentration camp victims that were available to him for experimentation. However, even in the main Marvel reality, Mister Sinister had been working with Apocalypse for over 50 years before the event that caused the "Age of Apocalypse," so all of the knowhow that Sinister showed in the "Age of Apocalypse" was already being used in the real Marvel continuity. While Dark Beast was a brilliant geneticist, he learned everything he knew from Apocalypse's chief geneticist, that reality's Mister Sinister. Octavius continued to work as Spider-Man, but he used his genius to make his Spider-Man a superior version. ![]() Years later, after he suffered severe brain damage (years of getting punched in the head by superheroes), Doctor Octopus showed how necessity was the mother of invention as he built a device that could transfer his brainwaves out of his dying body and into the body of Peter Parker, Spider-Man. The mental trauma of the accident led to him becoming the super villain known as Doctor Octopus. However, tragedy struck when an explosion merged the harness to Octavius' body. Even though his main field was atomic energy, Octavius also gained fame for his work as an inventor, especially his most famous invention, a metal harness that would allow its user to mentally communicate with an additional four limbs, so that scientists could work on dangerous materials without having to actually touch said materials themselves. Perhaps the greatest testament to the brilliance of the Mad Thinker is that when Reed Richards needed someone to double check his math when it came time for him to support the Superhuman Registration Act during "Civil War," it was the Mad Thinker that he turned to for help.ĭoctor Otto Octavius was perhaps the finest nuclear physicist, in the country. A genius in many different fields, the Mad Thinker is perhaps best known for his creation of the artificial being known as the Awesome Android. Of course, he is so smart that there isn't a prison out there that can hold him. ![]() Heck, if a plan of his resulted in him learning something new or gaining a new insight into something, he would be more than happy to end up in prison, as that would just give him time to think about what he had just learned. However, he is mostly driven by a pursuit of knowledge. It is not that the Thinker is not a villain, because he is, but rather he is more than willing to kill people if need be. The Mad Thinker is a fascinating villain because his crimes are rarely motivated by the same sort of goals that other villains have. He picked up his experiments here, and it turned out that he was responsible for the creation of the underground dwelling mutants known as the Morlocks. So Dark Beast had been running around on this Earth for years before the X-Men ever existed. While a small group of X-Men continued to rebel against Apocalypse, a good deal of mutants just threw in with Apocalypse, including McCoy, who eventually became so deranged that he got a kick out of the experiments that he would run on innocent people.ĭark Beast was one of a handful of people who managed to leave the world of the "Age of Apocalypse" and enter the main Marvel universe, only he entered the main timeline at the moment when things diverged, which was decades earlier. Sharing the same intellect as the X-Men's resident genius, the Beast, the Dark Beast is a version of Hank McCoy from the Age of Apocalypse, a world where Apocalypse woke up from hibernation earlier than expected and conquered the world before superheroes could come about to stop him. ![]()
