[edit] Character Biography

While at his base, Reanimator watched as Wolverine (actually a Skrull posing as Wolverine) and Nightcrawler arrived searching for Magneto. He then unleashed several robots, including a double of Magneto, on the two X-Men. Wolverine and Nightcrawler destroyed the robots and left without fighting Reanimator himself.

Reanimator later sent the Quintronic Man, a robot double of Red Skull, and a robot double of Hulk to rob armored cars and banks. Nova defeated the robots while Reanimator watched the battle from a captured H.E.R.B.I.E. robot. He continued to spy on Nova with H.E.R.B.I.E. until he was discovered, vowing revenge on the hero.

Reanimator was arrested, and his robots were destroyed.
