Origin: While a student at Oxford in the 1930s, Herbert Wyndham built a machine that could drastically accelerate the "evolution" of individual creatures. His first subject was his pet dog, which he managed to evolve into a being that stood upright and had the intelligence of a chimpanzee. (It was later revealed that Wyndham had received a good deal of his advanced knowledge of human genetics from Mister Sinister and/or possibly Phaeder, father of Maelstrom [1].) Shortly afterwards, he and Jonathan Drew (father of Jessica Drew) started their own research facility on Wundagore Mountain in Transia. There, Wyndham used his machine on himself in order to accelerate his own intellect. He was able to make more and more radical breakthroughs, including the genetic acceleration of some local animals into the half-human, half-animal New Men. Wyndham trained his New Men in the arts of chivalry and combat (aided in this endeavour by the ghost of the 6th Century magician named Magus), and they eventually renamed themselves the Knights of Wundagore. During this time, Wyndham himself adopted the title Lord High Evolutionary.
