Dr. Noah Black attended the 1928 genetics conference in Geneva, where peers included Wladyslav Shinsky and Arnim Zola, but though he won the Nobel Prize in the 1930’s Black was ridiculed by his colleagues for theorizing that every atom was a sub-miniature solar system. Black shunned humanity, establishing the island fortress of Valhalla of the U.S. Pacific coast. He constructed his Evolutonizer, maintaining his youth over the decades while producing hundreds of life forms; among these were his semi-humanoid servants, the Arms-Men. Centurius eventually began beaming his life forms to his orbiting Automated Rebirth Coloniser (ARC), seeing humanity already hell-bent on it’s own destruction, he intended to hasten this by assailing Earth with all-consuming radioactive fire, and his ARC would return exactly 100 years later to create a new world bereft of mankind’s evils. Centurius’s plot was discovered by S.H.I.E.L.D. |
