Genetix is a fiction team of superheroes appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, under the Marvel UK imprint. The team was created by Andy Lanning, Graham Marks and Phil Gascoine.
They first appeared in Codename: Genetix #1 (January, 1993) which was followed by another limited series called, simply, Genetix (October 1993).
Dr. Oonagh Mullarkey refers to this group as "the latest batch of Genetix," indicating that there were others prior to them. The pasts of the members of Genetix, with the exception of Base, are unknown. Some or all of them may have had active or latent mutant abilities initially. They were forcibly recruited into the genetic experiments of Dr. Oonagh Mullarkey for Gena-Sys, the genetic research division of Mys-Tech. During the mutation process, their original brain patterns and memories were buried under false memory implants of artificial backgrounds. In addition, their powers have been augmented by their own bio-armor, created from protosilicon implants (derived from the Digitek project) which have also bonded to their DNA strands. Each of the members was fitted with restrainer monitoring harnesses to give them greater control of their developing powers. The group members also developed a symbiotic link amongst each other that allowed them to operate at enhanced efficiency when they remain within close proximity of each other. Throughout their training, control of the members was maintained via a combination of drugs and selective mind-wipes. These processes took approximately five years to complete, including training and indoctrination.
When Killpower was sent through time by the Time Guardian to locate a device called the Chronifact, Mullarkey sent the newly created Genetix to follow and hopefully retrieve him. They followed him to ancient Egypt (and a conflict with Rama-Tut), then another time period nearly 1 million years BC, then a few years before their original point of departure to the past, and finally to the end of time, before returning to the modern era.
