Overview
Introduced in February of 2012, the Human Engineered Nano-Cybernetic Hybrids, or H.E.N.C.H. Men, make up the official army of United Underworld. Comprised of clones outfitted with cybernetic enhancements and armed with advanced weaponry, their function is to carry out menial duties unworthy of the typical United Underworld villain as a strategic military force.
Background
The majority of the H.E.N.C.H. Men project was carried out behind the scenes by people and facilities employed by secret benefactor A. Nonymous. Their creation was finalized with the forced compliance of three "specialists" captured by the villains, including a Freakshow technician by the name of Fixx0r, the erstwhile Crey scientist known as Dr. Quatrexin, now calling himself White Scorpion, and a high-ranking Malta operative known only by the code name Black Bird. The combined knowledge and experience of these three minds, coupled with special parts and stolen weapons, gave rise to United Underworld's army of expendable clones.
