Biography
Dr. Frederick Animus was a male human geneticist employed by a university conducting medical research. Instead, he concentrated on research of mutation. When he falsified reports on the effectiveness of medication, several people died. The university investigated him, fired him, and he was sent to jail for his negligence. It was there he met Cameron Hodge. Taking the name Ani-Mator, he was employed as a geneticist by Cameron Hodge's organization The Right to research a means of stopping the process that creates mutants. When the Right set him up on a deserted island in the North Atlantic, which he called Paradise, Dr. Animus instead created a race of Ani-Mates through gene slicing and selective breeding, which combined the characteristics of human beings and other animals, intending for them to be a slave race for humanity.
