Empire Unlimited CEO Augustus Roman felt abhorrence towards super-humans ever since his family died during a conflict between the Avengers and the Masters of Evil. |
Believing that super-humans and their powers should be contained and controlled, Roman created a prison known as The Cellar, located on Ryker's Island. On the surface, The Cellar appeared to be nothing more than a holding facility, when in reality its super-powered inmates were restrained inhumanly, and had their powers replicated into a special suit designed for Roman. |
After absorbing the powers of enough super-villains, Roman decided to set his sights on bigger targets, capturing and absorbing the powers of The Avengers, as well as heroes such as Hyperion, Iceman, and Quicksilver. This led him into battle with Iron Man and Spider-Man. |
