Dr Damian Maxwell A.K.A Dr Robominable A.K.A Wagermakerdr A.K.A Dr Tony Artemis - James W [DEAD]

A robotics researcher at the medium-sized engineering concern Slate Engineering, Dr Tony Artemis comes very highly recommended as an expert in many fields of autonomous robots. He brings with him a team of two dedicated research assistants from the company, as well as a third associate, whose slow manner of speech and requirement of repeated explanation of things indicates he is probably not a research assistant, nor of much assistance at all.

While records indicate a handful of minor incidents attributed to a 'Dr Abominable' going back over a decade, little was known about who or what this was until recently, when a slew of attacks against targets in North America and worldwide led Gideon McQueen, accompanied by Harold and the mysterious Lady Dragon Hawk, to an uncharted volcanic island somewhere in the middle of [REDACTED]. It was here they discovered the lair of Dr Abominable, who by all appearances had been infiltrating U.N.I.T.E.D. meetings under the guise of noted roboticist Dr Tony Artemis.

Official briefings dictate that Artemis and Abominable are in fact one and the same person, but any well-informed conspiracy theorist will tell you that Dr Abominable has been observed to be half man, half lizard, with reptilian skin and a sizeable tail, and hence could not be the same as the all-human Artemis. Whatever the truth may be, one thing is clear: Dr Abominable's robot army will stop at nothing to bring to an end 'years of North American aggression' and 'infernal United Nations meddling', and the Doctor himself does not look to be going down without a long, protracted fight.

Dr Abominable was one of the most nefarious villains to ever grace the planet with his presence. His single-mindedness to his goal was absolute, despite his distractions with the infamous Asgardian Science Council, and of all the villainous individuals who arose during the Ragnarok Crisis, he came arguably the closest to achieving his goals, with the image of the burning Final Wager crashing through New York City never leaving the hearts or minds of those who lost so much on that fateful day.

2000 Years Later…

The Seahorse was a state-of-the-art vessel. Designed to go deeper than any ship before it, the Government tasked it with exploring the great depths of the enormous Jormungandr trench and find what truly lay in the deepest depths of the oceans of Earth. After months of searching, little had been found beyond large scales until eventually the spotlights of the ship shone upon a rusting metal object on the ocean floor.

Immediately, the object was recovered and brought on board for investigation. It was caked in a millenia of sea-water and rust, almost impossible to see through, but thanks to the technology of the time, this was expertly removed to reveal the strangest thing - a metal head with something that looked like a prehistoric version of the modern day WRAITH necklace.

Intrigued, the scientists aboard the Seahorse went to contact their supervisors, leaving the strange head in the warm lights of the state-of-the-art sun lamps.

None of them recognised the ancient solar panels on top of the head…

None of them noticed as power trickled once more into the aged batteries…

None of them saw as the lights on the collar started to flicker back to life…
