Origin
David Moreau
He became a scientist and a patriot who wanted to strengthen his nation of Genosha. The Sugar Man then offered him an opportunity to do so: The Sugar Man had come from an alternate timeline, known as the Age of Apocalypse and had obtained technology invented by his reality's Mister Sinister. Using this technology, David Moreau created the mutate-process: all inhabitants of Genosha were tested at their 13th birthday for any presence of the X-factor gene. If they tested positive, they were turned into mutates: their memories were erased and their personality changed to become completely obedient, they were sealed in special suits and their powers were genetically changed to serve the needs of their country. At this time, Moreau became known as the Genegineer. (Uncanny X-Men v1 #236)
At some point, the Genegineer created many clones of himself that were bred as fodder for his experiments. (X-Force v6 #37)
The Genegineer then oversaw Jennifer's transformation into a mutate, and altered her powers to better serve the state. He also had a team working on analyzing another captive, Madelyne Pryor, but when he went to check on them, he found they were all dead. (Uncanny X-Men v1 #237) In the aftermath, the Genegineer held a meeting in which the Magistrates examined the recorded psychic images of the probe which had been performed upon Pryor. In this recording, the leader of the scientific team was represented by the Genegineer himself, whom Pryor knew to be the one directing the others. Pryor dressed the pseudo-Genegineer as Mr. Sinister, before killing him psychically. The Genegineer met with Pryor himself to determine what she was, but received no answers. By this time, Phillip had fallen in with Wolverine and Rogue, two of the X-Men who had escaped after having their powers removed.

In their war with the X-Men and their allies, the Genoshans allied themselves with Cameron Hodge and his RIGHT organization, an anti-mutant hate group. The insane Hodge kidnapped Storm and several New Mutants and wanted Moreau to help him absorb the techno-organic virus from the New Mutant Warlock so he could change his monstrous cybernetic form into a more human form.
