History
During The Agency’s quest to develop the ultimate controllable supersoldier, Jason Wynn and his overseas military allies discovered that a Taiwanese cartel was at least three years ahead of them on a similar project. Wynn sent in his best solider, Al Simmons, to steal the data and eliminate the competition under the guise that they were a terrorist organization whose project would threaten the safety of the United States. Simmons infiltrated the lab, hacked into their computer systems and retrieved the data. He then destroyed the lab and all records contained in it, save those now in his possession. He returned to the United States and gave the data to Wynn.
This data was combined with The Agency’s own research and a new project was initiated, codenamed Project: SIM (also known as Project: SIMIAN).
Shortly afterwards Simmons had been killed on the order of Wynn, and one of the younger agents was ready to blow the whistle on the assassination. Konieczni had trained under Simmons and was a close personal friend. Simmons had been his mentor. Before he could go public he was captured by The Agency and became the test subject of Project: SIM.
The intel data from the project called for a half-man, half-gorilla monster, fused and augmented with cybernetic enhancements. Data acquired from the mafia attempts to make a similar soldier indicated that human nature would need to be subverted with more cybernetics. The combination of the ape, man and metal was theorized to be the best alternative. The ape could be fused with more bionic enhancements because of its pain threshold, making it far stronger than Tremor or OvertKill, meanwhile the human component would give the beast rational capabilities and the ability to follow orders. An 10:90 ape to man ratio was what would be idea for this project. This was not what actually happened. The Agency scientist, Dr. Wilhelm, had been distracted throughout the project with trying to adapt the process to save his wife, whose brain he was keeping alive after her body died from a sudden onset of a debilitation illness. Wilhelm fused Konieczni’s brain to the ape, but was never able to get the ape to man ratio lower than 90:10 leaving the beast controllable unless enraged enough that the dominant ape reverted to it’s own savage nature.
It escaped its restraints before it was completed, and killed an agent sent to retrieve it and the doctor, who was already dead.
Cy-Gor escaped Wilhelm’s compound and was headed for New York. It recognized Al Simmon’s soul and keyed into his necroplasmic aura. Cy-Gor blamed Al for its creation and sought to kill him for his part in Project: SIM It found him in the alleys an attacked him, speaking at times as the parts that were Mike came alive and began to remember the horrors it had been through. After being defeated by Spawn, Cy-Gor was left in the alleys and retrieved by one of Wynn’s handling teams. He was presumed dead but awoke in transport and killed yet another squad of handlers before escaping. Not long after he encountered an incarnation of the Hindu goddess of death, Kali in a subway and decapitated her. This left Chow, the man who had raised Kali, to worship Cy-Gor as the new avatar of death.
Cy-Gor's last known location was boarding a plan heading for Serbia.
It should be of note that the cult that raised Kali has returned and recently the goddess of death has returned to the Spawn universe, apparently this time at full power.
It should also be noted that Cy-Gor's bio, as presented in the Spawn Bible, has been retconned in the series and that there have been changes made to the character's original identity. Most of the character's bio has been left intact.
Many attempts to make the perfect soldier have been made by the government group simply known as "The Agency". Most have failed. Some went in a direction best forgotten. The Agency made multiple experiments to try and recreate the progressive formula that was also used with the Youngblood contention. There was the one hurdle left unscaled. The file to make the host of the project more... controllable.
The branch that Jason Wynn was in charge of needed that file. Wynn sent his best agent to liberate that file. That agent was Al Simmons. Simmons was truly the best there was. Getting the file was easy for a man of his varied talents in espionage. Signed, sealed and delivered to the hands of Jason Wynn. Enter Sergeant Stephen "Smithy" Smith. Assassin-in-training in the same trench group as Al Simmons, Smithy looked up to Simmons. He wanted to follow in Al's bloody footsteps. Al took Smithy under his wing and taught him the extra trade secrets that you cannot learn in the Agency academy. Simmons saw a lot of himself in the young, tough sergeant. Al Simmons was soon to be the core of a web that spun nothing but tragedy. Doctor/Scientist Fredrick Willheim was an innovator in the field of genetic neurology and cybernetics. Upon learning of his experiments, the Agency invited Dr. Willheim to head up their Cybernetic Simian Project, part of their attempts to make the perfect super soldier. The Agency demanded a super human. Dr. Willheim had to find a way to transfer a man's thought process into the body of an ape. It sounded alike a very bad 1950's monster movie, but Willheim knew it could be done with today's technology. A brain transplant was not viable due to the human pain perception problem. Dr. Willheim would introduce attributes of a human mind into an ape in a slow, calculated percentage. He would work it up to an ideal 90/10 human-to-ape ratios. Dr. Willheim was provided with the largest silver back gorilla ever captured as a vessel for the experiment. It's size and power was incredible. He enhanced its power even further with a fantastic mesh link of cybernetics. The Agency also provided the doctor with a human for the brain portion of the project. A brain that had been exposed and put through the best military training that could be provided. The brain belonged to Sergeant Stephen Smith. The Agency felt that Smithy was the perfect subject for this experiment. Smithy did not agree and he did not go quietly into the night. Months went by. Willheim became even more obsessed with the experiment. All else went to the side, including his health. The Agency grew weary of the doctor's anal-retentive ways. They increased the deadlines and made cuts in his finances. Ultimately Willheim's body gave out to the work and stress. He died with the project incomplete. Instead of having the brain ratio favoring the human side, it stalled at a percentage of 90/10 on the part of the ape. The result was an override of the primal patterns and a blockage of the human side when enraged or frustrated. When in a more sedate mode the human process is able to emerge more and deal with problem solving and feelings of emotion and progressive thought. Smith's side of the thought process has put the half-metal half-beast now known as Cy-Gor on a path of revenge. Revenge on the Agency that took away the life that he had known and revenge on the man he once looked up to, Al Simmons. For it was Al Simmons that brought the last key to this sick mutation to the Agency. The key that made him Cy-Gor! he web now grows tighter. Cy-Gor is in New York searching for Simmons. The Agency is tracking Cy-Gor to place him under their control. And Spawn is right in the middle.
