History

After a terrible accident took away all his tactile sensation, Thaddeus Paine became obsessed with medical freaks and donned a pair of mechanical surgical gauntlets to start conducting horrendous experiments on terminally-ill people.

Once, Paine crossed paths with Eddie Brock and experimented on him while he was separated from the Venom symbiote. When Eddie and Venom were reunited, however, they sought to take revenge on Paine. Knowing his lack of pain sensitivity wouldn't allow physical torture, Venom entered Paine's head and sucked it dry of phenethylamine, forever making Paine hunger for human brains in order to survive.

Years later, Paine caught the attention of Moon Knight, who was coincidentally hanging out with Clea at the time. By then, Paine had created a network to better find human brains to feed on, and he had deliberately infected several people with the same brain-hunger condition he had so that he could improve his research and cure it. When Moon Knight caught up with him, he planned to kill him, but Clea intervened and teleported him to the Dark Dimension instead.
