History: Seth Brundle, one of the most brilliant minds on the planet, was working on the greatest invention ever known to mankind: teleportation. After years of work and failed tests, he came together with a journalist named Veronica Quaife, whom helped him uncover the solution to teleporting living flesh. Upon testing it on himself, a fly entered the telepod he was inside and the computer got confused. Fixing the problem, the computer turned itself into gene-splicer and combined both of them at a molecular level, forming a new kind of life.

Over the next few weeks, Seth slowly began to change. Growing strange hairs and loosing his mind, he slowly came to realization of what happened. He sought to dilute the fly’s genes with more human DNA, at the same time Veronica discovered she was pregnant with his child. When he discovered that she was going to abort it, fearing that it could be a mutant like he, Seth completely lost his mind.

Breaking into the hospital, he kidnapped Veronica and took her back to his home. Her ex-boyfriend Stathis Borans came to her rescue, but Seth attacked him. He dissolved the man’s hand and foot with acid vomit. Taking hold of Veronica, he announced his final plan to his former lover: to fuse himself, her, and their unborn child into one body to form the ultimate family!

Horrified, she fought back and ripped off his lower jaw! This caused an accelerated change in his body. As he continued to drag her toward the telepods, his body began to fall apart. Turning into the final stage of the so-called Brundlefly, he threw her into the first telepod and entered the second. As the sequence began to countdown, Stathis recovered and used his shotgun to sever the cables from Veronica’s telepod.

Enraged, the hybrid began to smash through the glass, but it was too late. As the door opened, the teleporter activated. It transported Brundle and parts of the telepod to the third container, fusing them together. As the doors opened, he fell through the white mist in pain, chunks of telepod stuck through his body. Grabbing Stathis’ gun, Veronica pointed the barrel at Brundle’s head. Unable to pull the trigger, she watched as he gripped the weapon with his claw and lifted it up to his head again.

Crying, she finally pulled the trigger, blowing Brundle’s head off his shoulders. The nightmare was over, but within Veronica’s body, a new nightmare grew.

Home World: Earth
Origin: United States (Bartok Industries)
Type: Mutant

History: Brilliant and stricken with an accelerated growth syndrome, Martin Brundle was housed and nurtured by Bartok industries, the company his father Seth Brundle worked for. As the company raised him, they tried to replicate the teleportation that Seth Brundle had created, but were failing miserably. The mutant genes in Martin’s body were dormant throughout his childhood, but when he came of age, the genes began to awaken. At the same time, Martin was promoted to be in charge of the teleportation project where he slowly uncovered the secrets of both himself and his father.

He soon fell for co-worker Beth Logan where she began to help him with the teleportation processes. When the two finally slept with one another, Bartok transferred her to another facility. Martin was enraged and his mutation was starting to fully kick in. Sores on his body opened up, secreting a strange web-like substance.

Discovering cameras in his home, Martin sought out Beth after password-protecting the telepods. Together they were on the run from the company, but Martin was now starting to lose his mind. The two couldn’t find any answer, not even from Stathis Borans whom survived his encounter with the Brundlefly years prior. When Beth awoke to discover he had created a sort of cocoon with the webs coming from his body, she called the company whom arrived and taken Martin back to the facility.

After a short gestation period, Martin emerged from the cocoon in a new, monstrous form! Martin went on a path of bloody destruction through the compound, slaughtering anyone foolish enough to cross his path. He made his way to the telepod lab where Mr. Bartok and his security held Beth.

Killing his guards, Martin approached Mr. Bartok but was shot twice. Thinking the creature was dead, he approached the remains. Martin suddenly sprang into action, wrapping his arms around his body and holding him tight. Taking him to the computer terminal, the Martinfly used Mr. Bartok’s fingers to type in the password: dad. What activated wasn’t just the teleportation sequence, but a gene-swapping program created by Martin!

Mr. Bartok was helpless as he begged for mercy, but Martin dragged him into the telepod. Beth pressed the enter key and started up the program. Both beings were teleported and their genes swapped. Martin was returned to normal, but Mr. Bartok was transformed into a hideous freak. Unable to walk, the mutant was treated like a specimen as Beth and Martin were free to live out now, relatively normal lives.
