Vibreaux was born in New Orleans and later became a competent geologist, eventually creating a magnetic harness, which could measure pressures in fault lines from the inside. Unfortunately, his hireling, Franklin Fortney, disliked and resented the timid Vibreaux, and pressured him into using his magnetic harness in a highly risky experiment. The experiment failed, causing an earthquake and for Vibreaux to fall inside the fault crevice. Somehow, Vibreaux was presumed to be shunted into an alternate universe, where he emerged disfigured, mentally impaired, and yet powerful. |
