Background[]
His real name and identity are unknown, but the man that was nicknamed Psycho was the top agent of the terrorist organization known as D.R.E.A.D. and an unhinged man that is regarded as a psychopath by other members of the organization.
Psycho inadvertently creating his nemesis.
One day, while infiltrating the facility of the counter-intelligence agency known as N-Tek, Josh McGrath, the son of the CEO of N-Tek Jefferson Smith, caught him and tried to stop him, which resulted on Psycho shooting a nearby containment unit of semi-liquid microscopic nanomachines that entered Josh's body, integrating with his organic system and dying inside of him as they lost energy, putting Josh in critical condition.
Psycho was ultimately responsible for the creation of Max Steel, as Jefferson infused his son with a high proportion of the transphasic energy that made the machines inside his body work, saving his life and giving him superhuman abilities, leading him to work for N-Tek as the super agent Max Steel.
Working for Dread[]
Following L'Etranger's failure to kidnap the members of a peace conference, Psycho informed his boss, John Dread, of the mercenary's failed mission and was soon tasked with taking down Jefferson Smith.
Later traveling to Paris, Psycho prepared a device that unleashed multiple electromagnetic pulses, shutting down the city in hopes of using the casualties caused by the blackouts to help Dread blackmail the french government. Fighting Max Steel at the Eiffel Tower, Psycho was prevented from using the device again after Max destroyed it, forcing him to flee the scene.
Endangered Species[]
Psycho tracked Bio-Con to his lair and knocked him out, taking him to an Inca fortress and forcing him to work for him on his new plan with the promise that they would rule the world togheter. Bio-Con soon had a modified jaguar pretend to try to kill Max Steel, so that him and his team would take the animal back to their headquarters with the transmitter that was placed on it. With the location available now, they had a swarm of scorpions infiltrate N-Tek and sting Max Steel's allies, making them fall unconscious while Steel participated on a snowboarding race and was soon pursued by some of Psycho's robots that began blasting at him. Psycho and Bio-Con kidnapped Berto and Kat while Max looked to recharge his nanoprobes.
After luring Steel into a trap by making him find his base at the Inca pyramid, Psycho wore off Max with the fortress' bobby traps before having the swarm of scorpions knock him out after many stings. Strapping Steel to a table to drain him from his transphasic energy while having Berto and Kat hung upside down on top of a pit of scorpions, the energy he drained went into an N-Tek power cell he stole. Psycho explained to Max his plan to use his transphasic energy to power a device that would mutate the human race so he can rule over them and make them thrive as a new civilization. Threatening the lives of Kat and Berto by lowering them into the Scorpion pit, Psycho forced Max to go Turbo and feed the power cell with the energy he needed. While Steel managed to escape and rescued his allies after going turbo, defeating Psycho's robots, the villains were satisfied after achieving their main goal, escaping with the power cell while the fortress collapsed.
