| “ | Long ago, there existed a brilliant young scientist. Because of his astonishing genius, he was able to make a number of contributions to human knowledge. Eventually however, he became disillusioned with this world. Though constantly showered with praise for the power of his mind, none of his ideas or theories ever received even the slightest support from the scientific community. "We should not be striving to evolve human civilization, but rather the artificial evolution of humans as a species." That was the only dream he had, but not a single person came forward to help him fulfil that dream. Therefore, he dedicated himself to his work. It was only after he turned 70 that his efforts began to yield results. First, the scientist regained his youth and then, he began cloning himself. He named his laboratory "the House of Evolution", and together with his clones, he conducted countless experiments with animals to create new species. Eventually, his experiments shifted to human subjects. So, in other words, my boss has become very interested in your body. | „ |

Biography[]
Past[]
Doctor I. Genus was a very intelligent individual who contributed significantly to humanity's undertstanding of genetic. However, he often felt alienated from the rest of humanity, as his intelligence made him feel superior to everyone. He dreamed of changing the world upon his vision of perfection, a world where he could live among equals to himself. He eventually became a brilliant and renowned scientist and received various prizes for his contributions to science. However, he never received any support for his theories regarding evolution due to his belief humans should be forcibly evolved. Genus firmly believed it was necessary and the suffering caused was sacrificial but it led to him being branded insane and dangerous by the larger community.
Ostracized, Dr. Genus secluded himself to continue his experiments alone until, after many years, Dr. Genus finally learned the secret of genetic manipulation when he turned 70. Using his newfound knowledge, he rejuvenated himself and created an army of clones of himself, founding the House of Evolution, which dedicated itself to the evolution of mankind through genetic manipulation. He also created various genetically enhanced mutant soldiers which served the group, sending them on field operations.
One Punch Man[]
Upon learning that Mosquito Girl, one of his experiments, has been defeated, Dr. Genus decides to capture Saitama, who defeated Mosquito Girl with a single slap, and study his powerful body. However, all the soldiers he sends after Saitama are defeated, with the only survivor being Armored Gorilla, who warns him that both Genos and Saitama were on their way to destroy the House of Evolution. Dr. Genus panics, deciding to release Carnage Kabuto, their strongest experiment who was imprisoned on their basement, to fight Saitama. Carnage Beetle hurts Genus and attacks Genos and Saitama, bringing Saitama to a training room, while Genus watches the two fight, however Carnage Beetle backs off upon sensing Saitama's power. Saitama tell everyone how he obtained his power, recounting his three year daily training routine. Carnage Beetle, not believing Saitama's claim, unleashes his full power and attacks Saitama, how freaks out and kills him in a single punch upon remembering he was missing a special sale. As both Saitama and Genos leave after the sale, Dr. Genus finally realizes that he was the wrong one the whole time and that he himself was the one who had to change.
Dr. Genus is later seen working on a Takoyaki stand along with Armored Gorilla.
