Powers/Abilities: Murder-1 had been mutated into a large, troll-like brute as one of Karza's notorious bio-engineering experiments. His strength, stamina and durability were all in the enhanced human range, although his intelligence was below normal. It seemed that rage increased his strength and durability. His appearance was very intimidating and he seemed to relish a fight.

His face had been disfigured to incorporate long blunted fangs protruding from an extended lower overbite, plus a pronounced brow. He was bald but had rocky outcrops on his head. He long light brown hair on his shoulders and forearms, and as sideburns. His height was well over 7', but he was stooped, likely as a result from being mutated. He also had three fingers and thumb on each hand.

History: 

(Micronauts I#54 (fb) - BTS) - Murder-1 had been a man on an unnamed world in the Microverse who held the concept of liberty dearly, but had been bio-engineered to suppress such thoughts, including his humanity. He was transported to Prisonworld for the violent crime of killing a squad of dog soldiers. Murder-1 had been on Prisonworld so long that he had forgotten his own name, and used the name given to him by the dog soldiers for his crime. This almost completely wiped his identity on top of being mutated.

(Micronauts I#54) - Also incarcerated, Murder-1 saw Marionette, Acroyear, Huntarr, Bug and Little D be brought into the holding cell for prisoners awaiting sentencing, and heard Marionette's stirring speech for the prisoners to stop fighting each other and battle their jailor, Baron Karza. A green-skinned man smacked her on the shoulder, which caused her to fall. At this point, Murder-1 stepped forward and floored the green man with one punch, and offered to help Marionette up. A frog-like inmate hit Murder-1 over the head with a long stick; this led to a number of prisoners swarming over the behemoth and erupted into a general brawl when the Micronauts intervened to help Murder-1 against his assailants. This brought a faster resolution to the battle.
