History

A former member of S.H.I.E.L.D., Trask left the organization, feeling it didn't do enough for the world. Particularly in the case of the rising mutant population. Believing that mutants were a threat to humanity's very biological existence, Trask began the Sentinel program, building a machine that could fight and eliminate mutants. His forced kidnapped Wolverine and tested the first Sentinel on him. The Sentinel later took on the entire X-Men team, at first fighting them in Trask's underground facility before Magneto caused all to rise to the surface in the middle of downtown Bayville, exposing both the mutants to the world and Trask's activities to the authorities. Trask was then imprisoned.

Later, when Apocalypse began his plot by erecting force fields around various pyramids throughout the world, S.H.I.E.L.D. released Trask over the doubts of Nick Fury, believing that Trask's Sentinels would be valuable against Apocalypse, himself an advanced mutant. The Sentinels succeeded in bringing down the forcefields around Apocalypse's bases, but were thereafter quickly destroyed by Apocalypse's Horsemen of Apocalypse.
