Origin: Calvin Zabo, a brilliant medical research scientist, had always been fascinated by the story of Dr Jerkily and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. Believing it to be far more than a simple fictional account, Zabo devoted his life to discovering a chemically based formula which could totally unleash the bestial side of his human nature. Realizing he would d need vast sums of money for his project, Zabo augmented his pay as a medical researcher by systematically robbing his various employers. By moving from job to job, Zabo managed to stay well ahead of criminal prosecution. However, his unsavory reputation quickly spread through the medical community. Applying to the noted surgeon, Dr Donald Blake (alias Thor), Zabo was incensed when he was refused employment based on his past misdeeds. Vowing vengeance on the lame doctor, Zabo turned his full attention to his project. Months later, Zabo's years of painstaking research and experimentation paid off, as he discovered the formula which transformed him into Mr Hyde for the first time. Filled with a burning hated of humanity, and believing himself to be the true personification of evil, Mr Hyde chose Dr Donald Blake to be his first victim of his wrath. He has since become a nemesis of such New York area crimefighters as Daredevil, Spider-Man, and Captain America.
