We were at the height of World War II. Max Donovan and Ezekiel Stark, two high ranked scientists of the newly created C.H.E.S.S. program, approached the government with a top-secret project. In hiding in without their consent, they secretly took cell samples from a number of Justice Invaders (American Wonder, Green Mariner, Hour Fist, Power Woman, the Atomic Destroyer, Slash), as well as Kreenagarian, Mongrull, Atlanteans and lemurians cell stock from recent alien and atlantean cases. The cells of Green Totem member Kilojaw were even used has he visited Green Mariner, an old friend of his. Using the Amazonian gene technique that created American Wonder, and under the supervision of the New-Troy project (that created the nuclear bomb) they toyed with the structure of humanity and inhumanity to create clones that could survive a possible nuclear apocalypse. The experiment was a moderate success: If most of the young clones were indeed capable of sustaining a Nuclear havoc, most of them were hideous and ill-mannered: like possessed. Max Donovan too, was possessed with this lifework. Stark had left after the war to start his own company and he was alone supervising literally hundreds of artificially created living weapons. Thing was, nobody wanted them. They weren’t cute enough, glamorous enough for the season of the witch that was lurking in America. So they were sent in C.H.E.S.S secret base No 6 in the Himalayas, under the supervision of Donovan: Cadmus Lab I was created. The group was more and more alienated from the world has the children were growing. Donovan sanity cracked from no contact with normal humans and he started behaving like a Father/King, favoring or punishing his creations on a whim. In 1971, when the U.S was desperate for some metahuman help in Vietnam, a C.H.E.S.S battalion was sent to Cadmus I to get new recruits for the war. They were received with gun shells, laser blasts, bombs and the first ever entry into action of Project: Inhumans. The C.H.E.S.S team was obliterated and the American government, overwhelmed with the cold war a dramatically short on metahuman help, abandoned the hostilities. For years, the U.S let Donovan took care of his little cave, lost in the Himalayas. But in 2000, preoccupied with their rising conflict of interest between China, Pakistan and Afghanistan, C.H.E.S.S decided to send the world’s most expendable team, the Doomed Four, at the scene. At Cadmus I, the Four could really perceive the twisted madness Donovan had inflicted on the clones. He was now a god-king ruling the Deviants, the upper-cast, which was mistreating and humiliating the Hairies, the under-class slaves. The intervention of the Four created a revolt inside the base and the resistance leader Black Guardian (who was a clone of Donovan himself), got into power. When he was elected king, the mute soldier did two things that surprised everyone: he formed a Great Consul of Inhumans to help him rule as peers and secondly he initiated his genetic father last plan: Cadmus II. During his tenure has the Mad-King, Max Donovan terra-formed the base so that the core could launch himself to a designated place on the Moon, away from humanity influence. Cadmus Station his now a high profile cosmic rendezvous. Uatet the Shaman, the Living Monitor, Hoarder Khan, the Warbringer and Judah, the Silver Manhunter and his dark shadow the Obsidian Manhunter: all these cosmic beings have named Cadmus station home at one time or another.
