History

Ramon Lipschitz and his colleague Tadashi Fujita were brilliant college students with a research grant and faculties near Coney Island. They took on Alphonsus Lefszycic as a lab assiatant whom they nicknamed Gomi.

Their experiments, using cybernetics to enhance beings, resulted in the creation of augmented abilities, human-level intelligence and strength and the ability to project small illusions for communication in a pair of lobsters. Gomi named the lobsters Bill and Don. The two scientists were infatuated with the superheroine Marvel Girl, and were upset when she transformed into the Phoenix. Intending to create their own Marvel Girl by kidnapping a girl and implanting cybernetics in her, the scientists first experimented on Gomi himself, trying to bestow telekinetic abilities. They failed, however, in that Gomi's cybernetics simply produced a destructive and uncontrollable bolt of kinetic energy. The two scientists left, fearing an inspection on their studies.[1]
