Mastermind is entrusted with the care of several 'Warpies', mutated children, some of whom had superpowers. He is assisted by several government agents who had resisted their own leaders due to concern for the children. However, agents of R.C.X., led by the corrupt Nigel Orpington Smythe, raided Braddock Manor and forcibly removed the children. The rebelling agents were also kidnapped.^[1]

Mastermind is later reprogrammed by Kang the Conqueror and subsequently destroyed.^[2]
