Dr. Mindbender is first and foremost a master of mind control and interrogation, but his expertise does not stop there. This evil genius has also dabbled in genetics, cloning, and cybernetics. He is extremely meticulous and fussy, preferring to oversee every nuance of his projects, even projects that belong to others. That is why he has felt a need to master every science that involves some sort of manipulation or modification. It was his genius that created Serpentor, the ultimate Cobra leader.
