The villain's own New-Men henchman betrayed him, forcing him to use the machine he built to evolve the Hulk on himself, becoming a being far beyond the intelligence and physical capabilities of baseline humans. High Evolutionary's own super-evolution resulted from an experiment he actually planned to conduct on the Hulk, who he captured with the intent of evolving him to a perfect lifeform one million years more advanced than modern humans (or, ya know, Hulks). ![]() To say the High Evolutionary's years in the Marvel Universe have been eventful is an understatement - but there are some specific stories that connect the dots to his involvement in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. The High Evolutionary in the Marvel Universe There, his secret experimentation on the population of the surrounding villages led to the birth of Pietro and Wanda Maximoff, whose inborn powers were believed to be the product of a mutant X-gene from their real Marvel Comics debut in 1963 till the High Evolutionary revealed the secret in 2015's Uncanny Avengers (opens in new tab) title.Īfter leaving Wundagore, the High Evolutionary took to space to continue his experiments unhindered, first taking over an existing planet he called 'Wundagore II,' before eventually creating his own planet known as 'Counter-Earth' which shares Earth's orbit, but on the opposite side of the sun.
