Biography
As an anthropologist, he began to study the existence of Mutants and saw them as a threat to mankind. As a result, he was responsible for creating cybernetic machines known as the Sentinels tasked with targeting Mutants. He publicly unveiled the robots during a demonstration and had invited Professor Charles Xavier to the event. Dr. Trask showcased the abilities of the robots before commanding them to stop. However, the Sentinels refused to follow his commands as they deemed themselves superior to a human. Instead, they sought to achieve their directive of defending mankind but with themselves in charge. The Sentinels kidnapped Trask and took him to their base in order to force him to build more of their number. (X-Men v1 #14)
