Biography
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)
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.[2] Moreau despised Hodge, who wanted Genosha to conquer the world and wipe out all mutants, while Moreau only was interested in Genosha's safety. (Uncanny X-Men v1 #272) Moreau assisted the X-Men in defeating Hodge, but he was killed himself by Hodge who broke his neck. (New Mutants v1 #97)
