The character first appears in ''[[Machine Man]]'' #19 (Feb. 1981), created by writer [[Tom DeFalco]] and artist [[Steve Ditko]].<ref>{{cite book |last =Rovin |first =Jeff |title =The Encyclopedia of Supervillains |publisher =Facts on File |date =1987 |location =New York |isbn = 0-8160-1356-X |page=168}}</ref> From 1987 to 1997, Macendale initially wielded only the '''[[Hobgoblin (Marvel Comics)|Hobgoblin]]''' identity and weaponry but the 1988–89 ''[[Inferno (Marvel Comics)|Inferno]]'' [[Crossover (comics)|crossover]] writer [[Gerry Conway]] had Macendale imbued with demonic powers by [[N'astirh]]. In addition to power over hellfire and increased strength and speed to far greater than the original Hobgoblin, these powers also disfigure Macendale so that his head is even more grotesque than the Hobgoblin mask, and ultimately alters his mind so that he was deluded into thinking that his appearance is normal. Macendale eventually succeeds in purging himself of his demonic powers and was later revamped again with cybernetic implants.

The character was killed off in ''Spider-Man: Hobgoblin Lives'' #1 to make room for [[Roderick Kingsley]] to take back the Hobgoblin mantle. Writer [[Roger Stern]] recounted being initially uncertain of how to resolve the situation of there being two Hobgoblins:

'''Sir James "Mad Jim" Jaspers''' is a character in [[American comic books]] seen in [[Marvel Comics]]. He was created by [[Alan Moore]], David Thorpe and [[Alan Davis]] for [[Marvel UK]]. He is a powerful supervillain who was the archenemy of [[Captain Britain]] and [[Excalibur (comics)|Excalibur]] as well as a few other heroes as well as the main antagonist of the Excalibur series.

In the reality of Earth-238,<ref>''Marvel Super-Heroes'' #377</ref> James Jaspers, a British politician waged a political war on mutants. He had been elected into office as a member of the English Parliament because of his anti mutant and anti super heroes stance and politics, however Jaspers was a mutant himself with powerful reality-warping abilities. His political façade and motivations for the elimination of his fellow mutants and superheroes was essentially to ensure his supremacy. Jaspers seemed a gifted politician and adapt at swaying popular public opinion, with lines such as "if they were honest they wouldn't wear masks" but whether he was always mad, or descended into madness with the advent of his mutant reality warping powers, Jaspers had lost his sanity. Jaspers of Earth-238 was so determined to rid his world of mutants, he began to move beyond drumming up anti-mutant sentiment and constructed an incredibly powerful adaptive cybernetic construct known simply as [[Fury (Marvel Comics)|the Fury]] to hunt and eliminate all superpowered beings.

Line 66:

Jaspers managed to win a landslide general election victory on his anti-superhero platform and became Prime Minister of Britain. Events began to mirror those of Earth-238 and Jaspers unleashed the force of the Jaspers Warp upon London, causing much chaos and devastation. However, Jaspers found himself under attack from the reality-hopping Fury, and the two engage in a large-scale reality-warping battle in which Jaspers was ultimately killed by the Fury, who teleported him outside the universe, where he would have no reality to control and thus be rendered powerless.

Melodia Stillwell is a [[geneticist]] who is the mother of [[Farley Stillwell]], Harlan Stillwell, and [[Shannon Stillwell]]. As Madame Monstrosity, she created the animal-like Humanimals by splicing human test subjects with her animal test subjects. Her "Farm" is located somewhere in [[Westchester County, New York]]. Additionally, she claims that her work was also used in the origins of [[Lizard (character)|Lizard]], [[Morbius, the Living Vampire]], and [[Rhino (character)|Rhino]].<ref name="Amazing Spider-Man #31">''Amazing Spider-Man'' Vol. 6 #31. Marvel Comics.</ref>

== Madame Sanctity ==

Two of her test subjects included the children [[Spider-Boy (Marvel Comics)|Bailey Briggs]] and Eli Hartman. Hearing them joke about [[elephant]]s and [[Rhinoceros|rhinos]], Madame Monstrosity has Eli mutated into a hybrid of both animals. Later, she subjects Bailey to an experiment where he is spliced with spider DNA.<ref name="Spider-Boy #1">''Spider-Boy'' Vol. 2 #1. Marvel Comics.</ref>

Attended to by her Humanimal servants Mr. Cricket (a [[cricket]]-type Humanimal), Tabby (a [[tabby cat]]-type Humanimal), Polly (a [[parrot]]-type Humanimal), and Hogsworth (a [[pig]]-type Humanimal) while reading the newspaper and ordering for Mr. Rooster (a [[Chicken|rooster]]-type Humanimal) to be dealt with for waking her up with his crowing, Madame Monstrosity called up Shannon to make sure she is not using her work like her late brothers did when they created [[Mac Gargan|Scorpion]] and [[Human Fly (character)|Human Fly]]. Madame Monstrosity tells Shannon that she will be going after Spider-Boy after reading about him in the news.<ref name="Amazing Spider-Man #31"/>

Madame Monstrosity dispatches Eli as Hellifino to apprehend Spider-Boy. When Madame Monstrosity orders Hellifino through a special necklace to unmask Spider-Boy, she starts to see the batch number on the back of Spider-Boy's neck. After Spider-Boy breaks the special necklace around Hellifino's neck and tells him that his real name is Eli, Helifino retreats claiming to Madame Monstrosity that Spider-Boy escaped by transforming into a swarm spiders.<ref name="Spider-Boy #1"/>

Madame Monstrosity watches the footage of Spider-Boy with [[Thor (Marvel Comics)|Thor]] after helping [[Ulik]] to reunite him with his displaced pet giant spider Klopp.<ref>''Spider-Boy'' Vol. 2 #3. Marvel Comics.</ref>

Later, Madame Monstrosity uses Spider-Boy's batch number to identify him as one of her early creations. Entering her DNA storage unit, she combines the DNA of Spider-Boy, spiders, and some artificial protoplasm to create a spider-like figure that she christens Boy-Spider before releasing him into New York City after her servant Mr. Muttman (a [[dog]]-like Humanimal) makes an inverted copy of Spider-Boy's outfit. After an encounter with [[Miles Morales]], Boy-Spider is ultimately stopped by Spider-Boy, who communicates with it in spider language and decides to let it escape, viewing it as not truly evil and considering it to be a brother. Afterwards, Boy-Spider returns to Madame Monstrosity, who deduces Spider-Boy's secret identity, as Tabby is a mutated version of his mother Tabitha.<ref>''Spider-Boy'' Vol. 2 #4. Marvel Comics.</ref>

At the Farm, Madame Monstrosity is reading the newspaper about Spider-Boy in front of Tabby, Hogsworth, Hellifino, Squeakerton (who was made from a [[mouse]]), Mr. Bobo (who was made from a [[gorilla]]), and an unidentified [[chimpanzee]] Humanimal. She states that she unleashed Boy-Spider and Spider-Boy gets the blame. Now they have to flush him out. When Boy-Spider asks "With me", Madame Monstrosity states that she will use him and hooks Boy-Spider up to her memory scanner. When Boy-Spider apologizes to Hellifino for what he will not like showing up, Hellifino is shown the footage of the "elephant and rhino" joke. As Hellifino is enraged that Spider-Boy picked his form, Madame Monstrosity has her Humanimals restrain Hellifino and finds that he has a connection with Christina Wu. She tells Hellifino to "pack his truck" as they are going on a trip. After Spider-Boy was knocked down, Madame Monstrosity orders Hellifino to bring Spider-Boy and Christina Wu to her as she's got some experiments to do. With Spider-Boy chained up, Christina shouts at Madame Monstrosity to get away from him. Madame Monstrosity calls Spider-Boy by "Number Five" who she claims is hers to study even though she doesn't recall creating him. When Christina asks what Spider-Boy did to her, Madame Monstrosity flashes back to when she was visited by the [[High Evolutionary]] who learns about a gap in one of Madame Monstrosity's Humanimal experiments due to a missing "Number Five". Madame Monstrosity states that she will have this sorted out soon. High Evolutionary then states that she wants to see her Humanimal process at work. She does a demonstration by having a [[plumber]] that came to fix the sink fused with a [[crab]]. The High Evolutionary says nothing about and is displeased that her work on a arachnid-human hybrid that can evolve and devolve at will is not present. As he states that he evolves creatures into [[New Men (Marvel Comics)|higher life forms]], the High Evolutionary states that Madame Monstrosity just "slaps" humans and animals together into freaks which disgusts him. The High Evolutionary leaves and tells Madame Monstrosity to never contact him again. Back in the present, Madame Monstrosity has Mr. Cricket throw Christina into her special chamber where she starts to fuse her with an animal.<ref>''Spider-Boy'' Vol. 2 #5. Marvel Comics.</ref>

As Spider-Boy regains consciousness and breaks free only to be restrained by the gorilla Humanimal, Madame Monstrosity fuses Christina with a [[Rock dove|common pigeon]]. As Christina states to Spider-Boy that he can find a way to fix it, Madame Monstrosity has Hellifino place Christina in a chair in the next room as she shows her an introduction movie she made. Starting off with her introduction to her real name, Madame Monstrosity introduces an [[owl]] Humanimal that she made from her husband Jeremy. The film shows how a Humanimal is both a human and animal with the abilities of both as seen with an [[ant]] Humanimal lifting a caged elephant, a [[chameleon]] Humanimal named Camille blending into her surroundings, and a [[frog]] Humanimal trying to catch a butterfly with it's tongue only to end up catching a book. While stating that the reversal will be costly, Madame Monstrosity goes on to mention that anyone at Stillwell Farms can earn the price for the reversal like becoming one of her lab assistants, do culinary arts, perform custodial positions, and do field work. A horse Humanimal was used as an example of any departures through the Stillwell Farm's recycling unit. Then Madame Monstrosity shows the reversal by separating Jeremy from the owl. Madame Monstrosity then asks what the Humanimal will do next. Once the film is over, Christina finds that Madame Monstrosity is not in the room and that a door leading outside is open. Checking up on Spider-Boy who had taken down Mr. Cricket, Hogsworth, Squeakerton, and the unidentified gorilla Humanimal, Madame Monstrosity advises him to stand down since Hellifino outpowers him and Boy-Spider is his equal. Spider-Boy claims that Madame Monstrosity doesn't remember much about him. Madame Monstrosity then unleashes Hellifino on him as Spider-Boy claims that she wants to know his secret upon fusing Christina with a common pigeon and not undoing the procedure. Madame Monstrosity states that she was never going to change her back and unleashes Boy-Spider on him. After Tabby strikes Spider-Boy to get him off of Boy-Spider, Madame Monstrosity reveals Tabby's true identity of Tabitha Briggs to him as Madame Monstrosity claims that she is the leverage that she holds over him. Madame Monstrosity claims that there is nobody that can help everyone remember who Spider-Boy is causing Spider-Boy to surrender as she quotes "And that was the big plan". With help from Squeakerton, Madame Monstrosity locks up Spider-Boy stating that she will continue her experiments with him tomorrow. Then she meets with Jeremy who was actually mind-swapped with the owl as a side-effect of the separation which Madame Monstrosity hasn't found a way to fix it yet. Madame Monstrosity states that she'll find a way to fix it eventually and kisses him goodnight.<ref>''Spider-Boy'' Vol. 2 #6. Marvel Comics.</ref>

With Spider-Boy trapped in a cage, Madame Monstrosity gets him to show off his transformation ability so that she can find a way to improve her Humanimals with it. After Spider-Boy claims that the other mad scientists would be laughing at her, Madame Monstrosity claims that she's no mad scientist as she uses her stun baton to shock him. After Spider-Boy's spider-senses reveal that the Humanimals will turn against her when she can't find a way to change them back, Madame Monstrosity storms out of her lab. She is confronted by Tabby and Boy-Spider who ask about the status of her latest experiment as Tabby notes that the genetic structure of Spider-Boy and Boy-Spider are similar. Madame Monstrosity claims that she can make everyone remember once she is done dissecting him. When Spider-Man, Miles Morales, Captain America, Thor, Squirrel Girl, and Toy Soldier arrive, Madame Monstrosity is informed of this by Mr. Bobo and has the Humanimals attack them. After Spider-Boy was freed, Madame Monstrosity will not go down that easy as she orders her computer to initiate Doomsday Scenario Omega much to the computer's objection. She then orders the computer to initiate the kitchen sink protocol as she fuses herself with a [[goat]], a rooster, a [[king cobra]], a [[piranha]], a crab, a [[bat]], and a common pigeon. She emerges from the house as the Monstrosity as she attacks the superheroes. Spider-Boy arrives with Jeremy Stillwell, the owl containing his mind, Boy-Spider, Christina, Hellifino, and Tabby as the truth about Madame Monstrosity being unable to change everyone back is known. This causes the Humanimals to assist the superheroes in fighting Madame Monstrosity. As Spider-Boy states that they can resolve this and put their heads together to come up with a way to get the Humanimals back to normal, Madame Monstrosity hears a voice that she recognizes stating that it is intrigued by Madame Monstrosity and offers to have her join it in it's studies. She agrees and asks the figure to get her away from the superheroes. Madame Monstrosity is teleported away. It is then revealed that the person who teleported her away is the High Evolutionary who only saved her because she became the ultimate oddity as he begins the first round of tests with her.<ref>''Spider-Boy'' Vol. 2 #7.

Izo's purpose was in fact to manoeuvre Daredevil into taking the position, as a means of reforming the Hand away from its corrupted state. He was also revealed to have placed [[Black Tarantula]] within the Hand as a mole, unbeknownst to Daredevil. Ultimately, Daredevil accepted the position, and ordered that the Kingpin and Lady Bullseye be banished.

While spending time in his home town park, Ben Hamill suddenly manifested his mutant powers. Unable to control his powers, Ben set flame to the town's park.

After the manifestation of his powers, Ben was enrolled in the [[X-Mansion|Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters]]. While at the school, he chose the codename Match, where he was present at Xavier's special assembly head by the headmaster [[Professor X|Charles Xavier]] to inform the student body of an explosion that happened the night before caused by Magma who'd been awoken from a coma by [[Elixir (comics)|Josh]] and [[Hellion (Marvel Comics)|Julian's]] involvement. Xavier preached about heroism being more than being brave.<ref>''New X-Men II'' #7.

Ben's abilities are pyrokinesis, enabling him to produce and manipulate flame. In addition, he is seemingly immune to fire and high temperatures. As a side effect of his powers, Ben's head remains constantly aflame, though it appears that he can control the extent of the flaming; during a Danger Room session, he is able to maintain some level of stealth by lowering the intensity of his head flame. Ben's body is always glowing, and emits heat, however it is not hot enough to burn his clothing. The flame on his head is also not as hot as normal fire and as such, it does not burn what it touches. This was confirmed by his creators, Nunzio DeFilippis and Christina Weir.

'''Mayhem''' ('''Brigid O'Reilly''') is a fictional character appearing in [[American comic book]]s published by [[Marvel Comics]]. The character of detective Brigid O'Reilly first appeared in ''[[Cloak and Dagger (comics)|Cloak and Dagger]]'' #1 (Oct. 1983) and was created by [[Bill Mantlo]] and [[Rick Leonardi]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=DeFalco |first1=Tom |last2=Sanderson |first2=Peter |last3=Brevoort |first3=Tom |last4=Teitelbaum |first4=Michael |last5=Wallace |first5=Daniel |last6=Darling |first6=Andrew |last7=Forbeck |first7=Matt |last8=Cowsill |first8=Alan |last9=Bray |first9=Adam |title=The Marvel Encyclopedia |date=2019 |publisher=DK Publishing |isbn=978-1-4654-7890-0 |page=236}}</ref> She subsequently appeared in issues #2-4 (Nov. 1983-Jan. 1984) of the same series, and issues #1-5 (July 1985 – March 1986) of the second ''Cloak and Dagger'' series. In ''[[Cloak and Dagger (comics)|Cloak and Dagger]]'' vol. 2 #5 (March 1986), Brigid underwent a drastic transformation and became known as Mayhem. The character subsequently appeared, as Mayhem, in ''Cloak and Dagger'' #6–9 (May–Nov. 1986), ''Strange Tales'' #13–15 (April–June 1988), #19 (Oct. 1988), ''The Mutant Misadventures of Cloak and Dagger'' #1–2 (Oct. Dec. 1988), #5–6 (June, Aug. 1989), #8 (Nov. 1989), #10–18 (Feb. 1990 – June 1991), ''Web of Spider-Man'' Annual #9 (1993) and #10 (1994). Mayhem received an entry in ''[[Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe|The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Deluxe Edition]]'' #8. However, some of the color plates were reversed in that issue; those pages, including Mayhem, were re-printed correctly in issue #9.

Brigid O'Reilly was originally a police [[detective]] in Manhattan when she learned that [[Cloak and Dagger (characters)|Cloak and Dagger]] were attacking criminals in her precinct. She at first wanted to bring the pair to justice,<ref>''Cloak and Dagger'' #1</ref> but she eventually learned to trust the young crime-fighters.<ref>''Cloak and Dagger'' #4</ref> Later, she took a squad of police officers to investigate a warehouse belonging to the same pharmaceutical company that was behind Cloak's and Dagger's powers. Some corrupt policemen, led by [[Roger Falcone (comics)|Roger Falcone]], exposed the other police officers to a gas to asphyxiate them. With her dying breath, Brigid swore vengeance on Falcone. As Brigid lay dying, Cloak and Dagger found her, and though were too late to save the other police, Cloak surrounded her and Dagger with darkness, while Dagger tried to revive her with light. When this appeared not to work, the pair abandoned her body to search for those responsible.<ref>''Cloak and Dagger'' vol. 2 #1–4</ref>

Though O'Reilly died, she was reborn as Mayhem. In this new form, Mayhem helped Cloak and Dagger find and fight the corrupt police. She then killed Falcone as promised.<ref>''Cloak and Dagger'' vol. 2 #5</ref> She then became a vigilante, showing no mercy to the drug dealers and other criminals she pursues. Brigid was considered as a "potential recruit" for the [[Fifty State Initiative|Initiative]] program, according to ''Civil War: Battle Damage Report''.<ref name="civilwarbattledamage">{{Cite comic | Writer = [[Anthony Flamini]] & [[Ronald Byrd]] | Penciller = [[Scott Kolins]] | Inker = [[Scott Kolins]] | Story = | Title = Civil War: Battle Damage Report | Issue = 1 | Date = March 2007 | Publisher = [[Marvel Comics]] | }}</ref>

Mayhem exudes a green, venomous gas from her pores. If this gas enters another person's bloodstream, it paralyzes the person for a varying amount of time. Mayhem attacks people by raking their skin with her talon-like fingernails so that the gas will enter their bloodstreams. The gas can also act like a [[truth serum]], forcing a victim of Mayhem to tell her the truth. Dagger's "light-knives" dissipate upon contact with this gas. Mayhem can levitate herself and fly.

'''Menace''' ('''Lily Hollister''') is a fictional character, a [[villainess]] appearing in [[American comic book]]s published by [[Marvel Comics]]. The character is most commonly depicted as an enemy of [[Spider-Man]]. Her first appearance as Lily Hollister is in ''[[The Amazing Spider-Man]]'' #545, and her first appearance as Menace is in ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #550 which is the start of the second [[story arc]] in the "[[Spider-Man: Brand New Day|Brand New Day]]" overarching storyline that followed the events of "[[Spider-Man: One More Day|One More Day]]". She is in the category of the different Goblin-themed villains where she was once referred to as '''[[Grey Goblin]]''' in ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #549.<ref>{{cite book |last1=DeFalco |first1=Tom |last2=Sanderson |first2=Peter |last3=Brevoort |first3=Tom |last4=Teitelbaum |first4=Michael |last5=Wallace |first5=Daniel |last6=Darling |first6=Andrew |last7=Forbeck |first7=Matt |last8=Cowsill |first8=Alan |last9=Bray |first9=Adam |title=The Marvel Encyclopedia |date=2019 |publisher=DK Publishing |isbn=978-1-4654-7890-0 |page=237}}</ref>

Daughter of District Attorney William "Bill" Hollister, socialite Lily Hollister was dating [[Harry Osborn]]. Lily found a hidden door in Harry Osborn's closet and found an old journal of his.<ref>''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #545</ref> She uncovered the location of one of Norman Osborn's secret rooms in the journal. When she had first gone in, she found all of the Goblin's equipment along with some experiments. After accidentally knocking over some experimental Goblin chemicals, she absorbed them into her skin, and was now able to transform into her "Menace" form at will. Stealing a weapons cache of the original Green Goblin, Norman Osborn, Menace was later hunted down by [[Jackpot (character)|Jackpot]]. During her search, she met Spider-Man and reluctantly accepted his help. Menace attacked a council meeting and kidnapped councilwoman Lisa Parfrey, with Spider-Man and Jackpot working together to try and stop her. Menace's glider slammed into the rescued councilwoman, killing her, and Menace escaped the crime scene, but not before accusing Spider-Man of being responsible for the woman's death.<ref>''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #549–551</ref>

Line 855 ⟶ 874:

When Menace attacked a Hollister Rally, she managed to badly beat Spider-Man (who had earlier been shot through the arm) and claimed a "citizen's arrest" to the arriving police. Menace then flew into the Hollister party headquarters, and changed back into Lily Hollister, just before Harry walked in on her. She revealed to Harry that she was Menace. She then told Harry that she accepted his earlier marriage proposal.<ref name=amazingspiderman588>''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #588</ref> On Election Day, Menace attacked two police officers for arresting her former friend [[Carlie Cooper]] for a crime she didn't commit, then attacked Spider-Man when he appeared. Menace was about to finish him until Harry, as the Green Goblin, appeared and shot Menace with a serum, with Spider-Man giving her the full injection. This caused Menace to change back into Lily and was seen in a live broadcast, with her father watching in shock and in tears of this revelation. A few days after the event, with Bill Hollister as the new Mayor of New York, Lily was now in prison and was visited by Norman Osborn, who discovered the engagement ring given to her by Harry and welcomed her to the family.<ref name=amazingspiderman588/>

She is later seen released from prison and approaches Harry in her Menace form, telling him that she's "moved on". Harry believes that she has started a relationship with Norman and warns her that she will be disposed of once Norman's done with her.<ref>''Amazing Spider-Man Extra!'' #3</ref>

During the ''[[Dark Reign (comics)|Dark Reign]]'' storyline, Lily reappears in her Menace form to Harry Osborn in ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #595 threatening Harry's life at first, but then showing Harry that she is pregnant. After this, Harry calls Norman Osborn to inform him that he will be accepting his invitation to work for the [[Dark Avengers]], which highly upsets Peter Parker. Harry's real reason for joining is to steal a cure for the serum to use on Lily and the baby so they can be healthy.

Line 869 ⟶ 888:

During the ''[[AXIS (comics)|AXIS]]'' storyline, Phil Urich tries to free Lily Hollister from police custody, blowing up the police car in which she was being transferred. Lily's body drops into the river and can't be found by the police or Urich. Lily has survived the explosion and lives on the streets with no memory of who she was. She finds one of [[Roderick Kingsley]]'s (who was now in the business of reinventing people into superheroes) ads in a newspaper, and goes to his base.<ref>''AXIS: Hobgoblin'' #1</ref> Over the next month, Roderick Kingsley turns Lily into the Queen Cat, a [[Black Cat (Marvel Comics)|Black Cat]]-like heroine. When Phil Urich confronts Roderick Kingsley in his base, Queen Cat protects him. Phil Urich recognizes Lily Hollister as Queen Cat, but she doesn't know who he is.<ref>''AXIS: Hobgoblin'' #2</ref>

=== Menace in other media ===

Menace appears in the [[Nintendo DS]] version of ''[[Spider-Man: Edge of Time]]'', voiced by [[Tara Strong]]. She ends up in the [[Marvel 2099|2099]] timeline after an incident causes time-drifts to form between times. She attempts to steal weaponry from 2099 to bring back to present-day New York, but is stopped by [[Spider-Man 2099]] and returned to her time.

== David Moreau ==

'''David Moreau''' is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character's name is an [[Homage (arts)|homage]] to the title character of [[H. G. Wells|H.G. Wells]]' science-fiction novel ''[[The Island of Doctor Moreau]]''.<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Manco |first=Emanuele |date=2012 |title=La Terra del Marvel Universe |magazine={{ill|Effemme|it|3=FantasyMagazine|lt=Effemme}} |issue=5 |language=it |page=45}}</ref>

While working for the island nation of [[Genosha]], he developed a [[Brainwashing|mind control]] device which made [[Mutant (Marvel Comics)|mutant]] slavery possible. Moreau created the ''mutate-process'': all inhabitants of Genosha were tested at their 13th birthday for any presence of the ''[[Mutant (Marvel Comics)|X-factor gene]]''. If they tested positive, they were turned into ''mutates'': their memories were erased and their personality changed to become completely obedient, they were sealed in special suits and their powers were genetically changed to serve the needs of their country. At this time, Moreau became known as the Genegineer (a [[portmanteau]] of "Genetic Engineer").<ref>''The Uncanny X-Men'' #236</ref><ref name=Burnett>{{cite book |author-last=Burnett |author-first=Andrew |editor1-last=Housel |editor1-first=Rebecca |editor2-last=Wisnewski |editor2-first=J.
