Fictional character biography
Victor Conrad was a scientist working for A.I.M. who succeeded in duplicating the Super-Soldier Serum which had transformed Steve Rogers into Captain America. Conrad drank the serum himself and became a physically perfect human being. Naming himself Victorius, he first attempted to take over A.I.M. Failing to do so, he later adopted the death-worshipping philosophy of the Cult of Entropists and made himself the Cult's leader. He stole the Cosmic Cube and used it to create Jude the Entropic Man as a means of spreading destruction. Jude rebelled against Victorius, and when Jude, Victorius, the Cube, and the Man-Thing all came into physical contact with each other, Jude and Victorius were transformed into a form of radiant crystal.[1]
Years later, Andrew Forson revealed that Mockingbird was secretly working for Forson at the time, and that he used Mockingbird to "get Victorious out of the way" so that he could take over the Cult of Entropy.[2]
