Minions Background . Doctor Cube ' s some time helpful loyalty friends . Made from dead people and long evil scalpel drill , and antifreeze . Kaiju monster know the terribles work and much tricks up sleeves . Minions run too helps Dr . Cube , things win often . Classified origins the highly type select including more better genes . Evil Creations . Being evil is exhausting . So exhausting that even the most despicable bad guys need help pushing their nefarious agendas : the evil empire procured bounty hunters to capture heroic rebels ; made men enlisted wise guys to whack rival family members ; and bad dictators conscriptd armies to carry out their heinous atrocities . And not only do college professors all have the dreaded TA , even white - boy rappers have posses of mean - looking thugs to help spit vitriol . So why would Dr . Cube , the most contemptible mad genius in the history of the world , be any different ? Well , he isn ' t . But instead of hiring a bunch of brawlers off the street , or waiting for a gaggle of goons to prove their allegiance , Dr . Cube decided to start his Minion militia from scratch . It all began a few years ago , back when the gullible media still considered human cloning a fantastical device of science fiction . The sinister Dr . Cube knew something the press didn ' t : cloning was entirely possible . And Cube himself possessed the resources and brains to create genetically identical cells . So Cube holed himself up in a lab and spent months splicing DNA , tinkering with mutated chromosomes , and experimenting with asexual reproduction . One morning in his secret underground lab , Cube was shaving his wrinkly face with a scalpel and accidentally cut himself . Blood dripped off the blade and fell into a nearby petri dish . As the blood sample started to glow , an idea popped into Cube ' s head : he would create humanoid versions of himself , except much , much stupider ! He would get their recessive genes from highly select , classified places ! He would bioengineer their DNA so they wouldn ' t understand morality ! So they wouldn ' t be able to distinguish between good and evil ! They would forever remain loyal ! Always servile ! Unable to abandon their maker ! He would call them Minions ! Cube would rule the world ! While Cube ' s makeshift militia might not be as sleek as the SS , as spiffily dressed as the Mafia , or as vocal as the fanatical street - militiamen from Michigan , Cube ' s Posse is definitely the most loyal . Like Cube imagined , his catatonic golems are forever willing to perform dirty work , work so dirty that even a trash monster like Gomi - man wouldn ' t be caught dead doing it . Kaiju evil experts at first believed that Cube only stored Minions at his compound , since they ' re seldom spotted without their nasty leader . But during a global probe , the KRC has uncovered sleeper cells of Minions all over the world : rural barns , abandoned water towers , rusty silos , flight schools in Florida , taxi companies in Boston , the backwoods of Maine , plus in Detroit , New Jersey , Texas , Great Britain , Germany , Spain , Saudi Arabia , Israel , Algeria , South Africa , Iraq , and even the Pentagon ( or so some conspiracy theorists claim ) . These Minions have infiltrated societies very easily : without Minion masks and scrubs , they look like regular humans ; plus their complete lack of intelligence appears very , very normal . Concurrently , officials have also discovered that Cube has already exploited the loopholes in Mr . President ' s semi - endorsement of Stem Cell Research to produce Super Minions , beasts that supposedly have the strength of ten regular Minions and the mental capacity of one moronic human . Since both Minions and Super Minions blend into their surroundings surreptitiously , it ' s difficult to say exactly how many Minions are lurking around the globe . U . S . census officials estimate their numbers to be in the millions , but the KRC believes that figure might be low . To be safe , KRC safety officers urge vigilance when entering gyms , attending crowded football games , or picking up strangers at bars : you never know when that fit , attractive , mumbling person works for Cube .
