What they’re saying:

  • Official description of the High Evolutionary: “Herbert Wyndham began experimenting with genetic manipulation in an attempt to “evolve" rats. He was later approached by a disguised Inhuman who would hand him the blueprints to unlock genetic code. This advanced his experiments to evolving animals into humanoids he called ‘New Men.’ Obsessed in his pursuit of creating the perfect being, Wyndham renamed himself ‘High Evolutionary.’"
  • Official description of the Maker: “A dark descent caused an alternate universe Reed Richards to head towards villainy. Calamities followed, then rejection, murder and finally a confrontation with Sue which resulted in an outraged Johnny scarring Reed’s face. Donning a helmet, Reed became The Maker, founding the Children of Tomorrow and evolving alongside them for thousands of years before returning to remake the world."
