S.W.O.R.D. Threat #13466: Dr. Herbert Wyndham/The High Evolutionary {Deceased}

Dr. Herbert Edgar Wyndham (a.k.a. The High Evolutionary)

THREAT LEVEL: DELTA
Registration Status: Un-Registered
Monitor and Containment Procedures: I. WEAKNESSES OVERVIEW **1. Physical Vulnerabilities:
a. Human Limitations: Despite his enhancements, the High Evolutionary is still fundamentally human. He can be injured by conventional means and is susceptible to disease and aging.
b. Reliance on Technology: His powers are heavily reliant on advanced technology, including his armor and genetic engineering devices. Disabling or disrupting this technology can significantly weaken him.
**2. Psychological Factors:
a. Hubris and Overconfidence: The High Evolutionary's belief in his superiority and vision of evolution can lead to arrogance, causing him to underestimate opponents and make tactical errors.
b. Emotional Isolation: His desire to transcend humanity can create emotional detachment, making him vulnerable to manipulation through appeals to his past or humanity.
**3. Combat Limitations:
a. Lack of Combat Experience: While highly intelligent, he is not primarily a combatant. In direct confrontations, he may struggle against skilled fighters who can exploit his lack of experience.
b. Distraction by Ideals: His focus on his vision of evolution can distract him from immediate threats, allowing opponents to gain the upper hand.
**4. Dependence on Genetic Manipulation:
a. Genetic Flaws: His experiments with genetic manipulation can backfire. If his creations turn against him or fail, he may find himself vulnerable.
b. Loss of Control: The High Evolutionary often loses control over his genetically modified beings, which can lead to unforeseen consequences and personal danger.
II. STRATEGIC CONSIDERATIONS
**1. Combat Tactics:
a. Disrupt Technology: Use EMPs or other means to disable his technological devices, limiting his capabilities.
b. Engage Directly: Employ skilled fighters to confront him in combat, taking advantage of his lack of combat experience.
**2. Psychological Manipulation:
a. Exploit Hubris: Challenge his beliefs and ideals, making him question his superiority and plans.
b. Emotional Appeals: Use references to his humanity or past relationships to distract and manipulate him emotionally.
III. MONITORING AND ENGAGEMENT
**1. Surveillance:
a. Behavioral Monitoring: Track his activities and experiments to anticipate potential threats and identify patterns in his behavior.
**2. Response Protocols:
a. Engagement Plans: Develop strategies that exploit his weaknesses, focusing on technology disruption and psychological manipulation.
b. Containment Procedures: In potential containment situations, utilize methods that address both his physical vulnerabilities and psychological factors while ensuring ethical considerations.

Physical Description

Special abilities

Artificially Evolved Physiology: The High Evolutionary was exposed to his Evolutionary Accelerator machine, giving him superhuman abilities by accelerating his personal evolution. The Evolutionary has shifted between various levels of evolution over the years, sometimes deliberately sometimes not, with different power levels as well. Often he maintains some level of superhuman power while incorporating the Evolutionary Accelerator machine into his armor, letting him evolve himself further at will. The unstable Isotope E caused the High Evolutionary to uncontrollably fluctuate between god-like powers and Neanderthal-level ability and intelligence. Among the abilities the High Evolutionary has demonstrated thanks to the Evolutionizer are:
Superhuman Strength
Superhuman Intelligence: The High Evolutionary has evolved his own brain to its full potential; he has virtually unlimited knowledge and intellectual ability.
Superhuman Durability
Healing Factor: Augmented by his armor's automatic Evolutionizer equipment, the High Evolutionary is virtually unkillable. Even after being ripped to pieces and pulverized into organic jelly by the Hulk, the High Evolutionary evolved out of his injuries and was fully restored.
Telepathy: The High Ecolutionary possesses vast psionic abilities and could easily repel Moondragon's psychic scans.
Astral Projection: The High Evolutionary can separate his spirit from his physical form and can survive in this state for an indefinite period of time.
Self-Levitation
Mental Invisibility: Preventing detection by other powerful telepaths. Which he can extend to an entire world.
Force Fields
Mass Manipulation: The High Evolutionary can increase and decrease his own size/mass and can grow to a maximum height of 300 feet.
Psychokinesis: The High Evolutionary possesses vast psionic abilities that enable him to rearrange matter.
Concussive Force Blasts
Telekinesis: The High Evolutionary could force Talon to stab herself with her claws.
Plasmatic Rays: The High Evolutionary can release destructive blasts of energy from his hands that have proved able to incinerate Talon and even her Adamantium claws.
Total Recall Memory
Artificial Evolution: Capable of forcibly evolving or devolving life-forms at an accelerated rate.
Immortality: Allegedly, at one point Wyndham managed to alter his own genetic code to finally achieve eternal life.
Dimensional Travel: The High Evolutionary can travel extradimensionally.
