[edit] Character history

Bird-Brain was one of a number of "Ani-Mates", creatures created by an insane geneticist named the Ani-Mator, combining the characteristics of human beings and other animals. The Ani-Mator subjected his creations to a number of cruel and deadly experiments, but Bird-Brain escaped the Ani-Mator's island and befriended the New Mutants. The New Mutants returned to the island with Bird-Brain to stop the mad scientist's experiments. The Ani-Mator, attempting to shoot Wolfsbane, instead killed the New Mutant Cypher. Magik exiled the Ani-Mator to the dimension of Limbo in retailiation. Once freed from the Ani-Mator's tyranny, Bird-Brain decided to remain on the island with the other Ani-Mates.
