Name: Dr. Heinrich Geldmar, AKA Professor Primate Age: 115, current body: 70 Gender: Male Appearance: Professor Primate is a silverback gorilla with a number of surgical scars around his head. Injections of the Super-Soldier serum have also given him increased musculature and highly advanced motor skills. Personality: While Professor Primate fulfills many of the criteria for a mad scientist, he also has strict ethical standards. Skills: He's a neurosurgeon who has, over the course of decades, branched out to other scientific fields. His knowledge of human neurology, engineering, and Weird Science is unmatched. Abilities: He's a gorilla. A gorilla injected with a super soldier serum that makes him faster than a typical human. He's also the kind of maniac who can perform a brain transplant on himself. Equipment: Tenure at Berlin University. Brief Backstory: Heinrich Geldmar was an experimental neurosurgeon working for the Third Reich in World War 2. Not by choice, naturally- but it's pretty hard to avoid working for someone with a gun trained on you constantly. When American soldiers stormed the lab, he was offered amnesty for the war crimes he was forced to commit if he and his colleagues would help the US Army's Weird Science division with the development of a super-soldier serum to counteract the Nazi "Ubermensch" program. Sick of experimenting on humans, the US army gave them a steady supply of gorillas for testing. However, 80% of the chemicals used in the serum's development turned out to be insanely toxic, and those that weren't were so radioactive their mere existence is now banned by at least six articles of the Geneva Convention. This led to an obvious result: most of the scientists that worked for the program were dying of cancer. However, between the fevered madness brought on by his impending death, his skill as a neurosurgeon, and that unique brand of crazy that seems to permeate all German scientists, Heinrich came up with a solution. All that needed to happen was to gather the materials. Luckily, Bonzo the circus ape had shown promise as a subject, surviving the horrid injections. However, he was spectacularly dumb and choked when he tried to swallow a toilet paper roll. This gave Heinrich what he needed, and in the dark of night, storm clouds rolling outside as if to cheer him on, he began his work. That night, with a faithful brain transplant, he was no longer the withering Dr. Heinrich Geldman, Nazi Neurosurgeon. With his transfer into the strong gorilla body, he was reborn as... PROFESSOR PRIMATE! Name: MAX Age: 50 Gender: Male Appearance: [url=http://i.imgur.com/trYgdQC.jpg]"I AM MAX. I CAN NOT BE STOPPED. ONLY INCONVENIENCED."[/url] Personality: MAX is secure in the knowledge that he is the most advanced machine that 1965 has to offer. Devoid of emotion, he seeks to destroy malfunctioning technology, machines that might be used for war, and the vile criminals known as "Commies." He is still bound to the three laws, but he is really good at finding loopholes. Skills: Despite his outdated technology, MAX has a fundamental understanding of most scientific principles as understood at the time of his creation. While his knowledge pool lacks more recent discoveries, he knows essentially every bit of minutia of every scientific and biological principle available as of his last update in November 1965. Abilities: MAX is a machine built for one thing: To survive the certainly impending Nuclear Holocaust during the Cold War. To this end, he is constructed entirely of the superalloy Aegium. This then-experimental alloy is incredibly hard to make, its components are incredibly expensive, and most of the supply available during the 20th century went into the construction of this 6-foot-tall robot. Because of his creator's paranoia, MAX is also equipped with a forcefield that prevents incorporeal travel, and the parts of him involved with programming and personality are shielded by alloys that interfere with magic. This renders him, essentially, indestructible- atomic bombs could not harm him. However, invulnerability and enhanced robot strength are the full extent of his abilities, and he can not be modified- to do so would require disassembling him, and it's pretty hard to get through Aegium. Equipment: Nothing of note. Brief Backstory: MAX was created during the Cold War by an insane scientist. Not "They stood there and mocked me! THE WHOLE WORLD MOCKED ME!" insane. "Ants live in my skin, government microchips in my cornflakes" insane. Though his assertions on the coming apocalypse seemed to change by the hour ("The shapeshifting reptilian aliens in the houses of power will rise up and bombard the earth with radiation!" "Communist ghosts will possess our machines!" "An army of Wizard Hitler Clones will march against us!"), he was certain the world would be ending very soon. To this end, he created MAX. MAX thought at an unmatched speed of 2.5 Megabytes per second. MAX was named because he was, at the time, the absolute maximum of technology. Granted, that was in 1965. He was built to survive any of the delusional scientist's theoretical apocalypses, then share his expansive knowledge of science with the survivors. Of course, the apocalypse never came, and MAX was left in storage. In 1980, however, he was awakened by a lightning strike. Not recognizing any of the strange technology, he came to the conclusion that all of it was either 1) Communist Trickery or 2) Alien War Machines. This has led to... unfortunate repercussions as the indestructible MAX rampages across the world, destroying advanced technology. Though it is easy enough to capture him, reprogramming him would be impossible- the technology you'd need is either in museums or phased out of production completely.
