History

Created by Doctor Net.ropolis as a prototype for her Mechanical Author, he was brought to life by the Mechanical Author to be used as a pawn. After the Mechanical Author was defeated, he devoted his life to being a freelance assassin, including going into (one version of) Real World Minus One and trying to assassinate Deja Dude.

During Beige Countdown, he joined up with Mynabird's Legion of Net.Villains, and accompanied them on their quest to free the galaxy's grandest criminals from the Ultimate Black Hole.
