Scientist Supreme

The Scientist Supreme is a name used by different fictional characters appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

Description
The Scientist Supreme is often described to be the top leader of A.I.M., and can also be described to be the scientific counterpart to Earth's Sorcerer Supreme.

Yandroth
Yandroth was the humanoid Scientist Supreme of the otherdimensional planet Yann, and a counterpart to Doctor Strange's title of Sorcerer Supreme.

Lyle Getz
Lyle Getz was the first individual to use the Scientist Supreme alias within A.I.M. He spearheaded and supervised the experiment of MODOK and then Getz was killed by his own experiment afterwards.

Victor Conrad
Victor Conrad was the second individual to use the Scientist Supreme persona within A.I.M. An A.I.M. scientist working for A.I.M. who succeeded in duplicating the Super-Soldier Serum which had transformed Steve Rogers into Captain America, Conrad drank the serum himself and became a physically perfect human being. Naming himself Victorius, he first attempted to take over A.I.M. Failing to do so, he later adopted the death-worshiping philosophy of the Cult of Entropy and made himself their new leader. He stole the Cosmic Cube to use to create Jude the Entropic Man as a means of spreading destruction. Jude rebelled against Victorius, and when Jude, Victorius, the Cosmic Cube and the Man-Thing all came into physical contact with each other, Jude and Victorius were transformed into a form of radiant crystal. Years later, Andrew Forson reveals that Mockingbird had been secretly working for him at the time and that Mockingbird was used to "get Victorius out of the way" in order to take over the Cult of Entropy.

George Clinton
George Clinton was the third individual to use the Scientist Supreme persona within A.I.M. Clinton provided the Red Skull, Armin Zola and the Hate-Monger with a restored version of the Cosmic Cube. However, he gets his mind drained (along with many others) by the three supervillains as a power source for the very device that he helped restore.

Valdemar Tykkio
Valdemar Tykkio was the fourth individual to use the Scientist Supreme persona within A.I.M. Valdemar had occasional encounters with Iron Man while dealing with his brother Yorgon Tykkio trying to take his coveted position. Tykkio later had a deal with HYDRA to eliminate Madame Masque, resulting in a confrontation with Iron Man and the Hulk.

Monica Rappaccini
Monica Rappaccini is the sixth individual to use the Scientist Supreme alias within A.I.M.

Hank Pym
At one point, Hank Pym grew to a large enough size where he encountered the cosmic entity Eternity, claiming to the former that he is Earth's "Scientist Supreme". When Hank Pym told Loki about this, the trickster god claims he was using Eternity's form in order to trick the so-called Scientist Supreme. Pym disputed Loki's explanation. Whether or not it was indeed Loki-in-disguise has not been answered.

Andrew Forson
Andrew Forson is the seventh character within A.I.M. to use the Scientist Supreme title. The character first appeared in Fantastic Four #610 and was created by Jonathan Hickman and Ryan Stegman.

Forson was the Scientist Supreme of A.I.M. after the organization went public and established their base in the sovereign island nation Barbuda and overthrew the Wizard with consent of the rest of A.I.M. Barbuda was then renamed A.I.M. Island.

Forson appears as the Supreme Leader of the new High Council of A.I.M., consisting of Graviton (as the Minister of Science), Jude the Entropic Man (as the Minister of Health), Mentallo (as the Minister of Home Affairs), Superia (as the Minister of Education in Bagalia), the female Super-Adaptoid (as the Minister of State in Bagalia), and the undercover Taskmaster (as the Minister of Defense). Forson then leads A.I.M. into attending a weapons expo, which led to A.I.M. fighting against the Secret Avengers. During the battle, Forson takes the opportunity to steal the Iron Patriot armor. Daisy Johnson launched an unsanctioned operation to send the Secret Avengers to A.I.M. Island to assassinate Forson, and the group seemingly killed him. Despite Johnson ending up suspended for breaking protocol and Maria Hill being put in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D. again, Forson was revealed to be alive all along, and the news of A.I.M. being a new permanent member of the Security Council is known.

Forson finds Superia badly injured after an incident on A.I.M. Island regarding an escaped creature. An A.I.M. Agent then approaches Forson and Superia, showing the two a 2-D hologram of the organism beating the Avengers. Taking pride in this, Forson orders their translocator activated and to retrieve their "lost child". When Taskmaster is shot and seemingly killed by Mockingbird now under Forson's control, Forson revealed that Mockingbird was secretly working for Forson years ago, and that he used Mockingbird to "get Victorious out of the way" so that he could take over the Cult of Entropy. Forson also uses Adaptoids from an alternate reality to combat the Avengers. Using an unidentified device, Forson and A.I.M. accelerate the flow of time in the limits of A.I.M. Island, creating in a matter of hours for the real world year of progress and transforming A.I.M. into a technologically advanced empire. When Smasher comes to the island, Forson has Jude the Entropic Man transform her into his messenger.

Forson is an experienced scientist with genius-level intellect.
