Master Mold III

[Eric J. Moreels]

Real Name: Inapplicable
First Appearance: New X-Men #114
Major Enemies: All mutants

As part of a shadow Sentinel program funded by tax dollars, a third Master Mold was constructed in the jungles of Ecuador in South America. This basic Master Mold factory unit's artificial intelligence was precision-engineered to adapt itself to its environment, and was programmed to build "wild" Sentinels using any and all technology within its radius.

This Master Mold was all-but forgotten for years until discovered by Charles Xavier's genetic twin, Cassandra Nova, who used Donald Trask, the unwitting nephew of the Sentinel's original creator Bolivar Trask, to assume control of the construct. The Master Mold's programming required it to preserve Trask DNA, and as such a simple voice command from Trask was enough to bring the machines under his sway.

However, being a simple dentist, Donald Trask had no experience in mass genocide of mutants, and as such Cassandra Nova read and copied Trask's DNA sequence so as to assume control of the Sentinels herself. Nova then killed Trask and dispatched a group of Sentinels to the island nation of Genosha, decimating the mutant nation's population.
