Description:
Project QX789 was an attempt at creating a soldier better suited to underwater environments. The scientists in charge, dr. Elsa Andreas and professor Clyde Veider, were the foremost experts on cloning and genetic manipulation. They successfully created an artificial life form and accelerated it’s maturation. In a matter of months, the creature reached adulthood.
Through its neural module it got information on combat tactics, his own physiology, the political climate and a myriad of other topics that could prove useful in a combat situation. But when the pod was opened, it was not a remorseful killing machine that stood before the scientists. Rather it was an innocent young man, with a very naïve viewpoint on the world. While he had received all the information, it had not fully assimilated the knowledge. Thus the project was deemed a failure and Andreas and Veider were ordered to terminate the specimen.
But they couldn’t do it. Project QX789 had as much right to live as any other living being. So they set him free. The off shore facility wasn’t too far from the Hamptons. After a series of mysterious sightings the local media dubbed the strange creature ‘The Hampton Terror’.
The Infinity League, kept a close eye on the situation as super powered being in such close proximity to New York, and their headquarters, could be potentially dangerous. But they ended up having to protect the creature when the local police department organized a manhunt. They took Project QX789 into their protective custody, he choose the name ‘Andreas Veider’ for his secret identity, and offered him a place on the team after discovering the many useful abilities he possessed. Now he fights the good fight as Aquatiden, a proud member of The Infinity League.
