Dr.Deadly is the last decendent in a long line of mad scientists.He was born and raised in a mysterious part of the United States known as the Dark Mountains. (The Dark Mountains were secretly settled by alchemists almost 1000 years ago) Dr.Deadly spent much of his early youth exploring the Dark Mountains, playing in the family graveyard, befriending the many supernatural denizens of the Dark Mountains and studying the many unpublished scientific papers written by his father,grandfather, and great grandfather.When Dr.Deadly's father died of radiation poisoning it left quite a scar on the boyhood Dr Deadly. He vowed that one day he would find a cure for death and bring his dead father back. Over his lifetime Dr. Deadly has invented a vast array of amazing hi-tech inventions. From time-machines to interstellar space craft his list of psuedo-scientific achivements are unreal. Yet despite his unbelievable achievments the Dr. has been unable to truly return the dead to life. However,it would seem that he has come quite close. Using his life machine invention he was once able to briefly return his recently deceased Uncle Ned back to life. But while reanimating the body it seemed that something was missing in the soul and Uncle Ned soon returned to his grave.More recently this point was tragically driven home. After Dr. Deadlys wife Lisa was brutally murdered while he was away in space, the guilt-ridden Dr ignored his previous mistake with Uncle Ned and decided to risk using the life machine once again.Tragically it failed once again as well. Now Lisa is a shambling undead abomination, unable to live and unable to die.Her un-living presence is a constant reminder to Dr.Deadly of his greatest failure. Despite his failures, Dr. Deadly continues to invent and strives to find a way to cure his dead wife Lisa and to make good on the vow he made to himself those many years ago.
