"I'm just putting this slop out of its misery."
Mick Rory on Cronenbaby[src]

An unnamed creature, nicknamed "Cronenbaby" by Nate Heywood (after a notion of "creating a baby" by Mick Rory), was briefly created by Legends in an attempt to combine the powers of Totems of Zambesi.

Biography

Cronenbaby's face

Cronenbaby's face, buried between the limbs of unknown nature.

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]
