Back in the year [REDACTED], a brilliant African American geneticist named Dr. Arden Thompson developed a breakthrough in hybrid engineering. He combined four animals - crocodile, wolf, bat, and snake - into a creature known as The Monstrosity.
Dr. Thompson developed The Monstrosity specifically as a bodyguard for his only son, Thomas "Tom" Thompson. Tom was often made fun of by white children in their neighborhood, because he was black. So, The Monstrosity's job was to scare the bullies, so they would stop harassing Tom. Even though The Monstrosity was only a few months old at the time, most people left Tom alone after The Monstrosity bit off one bully's arm one day.
However, when Dr. Thompson presented The Monstrosity to a board of top scientists, they discredited him because of racial prejudices in the [REDACTED]'s. So Dr. Thompson set his skills on other scientific projects. But his wife, Amelia Thompson, who was a brilliant chemist, died in a lab fire while trying to develop a [REDACTED]. Dr. Thompson was angry at himself for the disaster, so he abandoned Tom (while supposedly running an errand to buy milk) to pursue a much more ambitious scientific achievement - making the world's first fully functional [REDACTED].
Tom was left alone with The Monstrosity, who he nicknamed Montie. While sitting a silent vigil at the ruins of his mom's lab, Tom noticed a fireproof safe in the wreckage. Inside it was his mom's secret formula for a [REDACTED]. Tom went to two of his friends, known only as Wolf and Cheetah, to help him brew it. With the [REDACTED], Tom was able to stay [REDACTED] for [REDACTED] years.
However, Tom decided to seek revenge on his father, and Montie was dragged into the feud, doing little to try convincing Tom to calm down. But Tom didn't listen. Instead, he created a boat called the Siphonophore to hunt down the river monsters that his father had genetically engineered and released in the Lavender River. In a long, difficult series of events, Tom and his father both died in an explosion on board the [REDACTED], a riverboat designed to carry the devastating [REDACTED] that Dr. Thompson had been working on for the last [REDACTED] years.
Montie ended up in the care of Sal Garcia, Tom's quartermaster on the Siphonophore. She served Sal for many years before discovering a portal to the Multiverse, where she found the Imgflip-bossfights universe.
