Biography[]

Cronenbaby's face

In an attempt to create a creature to counter Mallus, the Legends used the powers of Totems of Zambesi combined with concentration of their minds, but due to faulty thoughts, their first creation become a wretched flesh monstrosity.

After the creation lived for a few seconds, engaging in unknown biological processes and seemingly being in great pain, Mick Rory performed a mercy kill on the creature with his Heat gun, obliterating it from existence.[1]
