Biography[]
Trask, along with Henry Peter Gyrich, designed and built the Sentinel program. When the President of the United States of America shut them down, they went to Genosha to build Master Mold. However, the robot turned on them and they had to be rescued by the X-Men. When he warns Master Mold that he created it to protect humans from mutants, he is shocked by the giant Sentinel's assertion that such an action was unreasonable since 'mutants are human'. Realizing, Trask tries to stop Master Mold. After Master Mold's body (except for his head) got destroyed with the help of X-Men and Professor X, Gyrich and Trask were forced to escape from America and live in jungles. However, one day Trask's creations Sentinels returned for him to kidnap him along with Gyrich by order of Master Mold. Master Mold wanted to use them as the help in his plan to continue exterminate mutants and humans. However, they both got saved by the X-Men and their member Morph.
Trask would later get his hands on another Master Mold in the Sahara Desert and his sentinels faced off against the X-Men. Following his defeat, the UN took him into custody and Master Mold was dismantled. Sometime later, Mister Sinister promised to get Trask his life back in exchange for his DNA. After the massacre in Genosha, he started running and begging for death. He would later call the X-Men telling them to come to the UN Peace Legion in Madripoor, he cleared the lobby with sleeping gas. By the time the X-Men got to him, he was ready to jump off the building of the UN peace legion, directly quoting Robert Oppenheimer. Not wanting to become more of a monster he tried to jump off the building, only to be caught at the collar by Rogue, before being dropped to his death. He didn't stay dead for long as he was resurrected into a Prime Sentinel by Bastion and started to defeat the X-Men, before being blast by an EMP grenade courtesy of Cable.
