Scientist Supreme

The Scientist Supreme is often described to be the top leader of A.I.M., and can also be described to be the scientific counterpart to Earth's Sorcerer Supreme.

Lyle Getz was the first individual to use the Scientist Supreme alias within A.I.M. He spearheaded and supervised the experiment of MODOK before being killed by the latter.^[1]

Victor Conrad was the second individual to use the Scientist Supreme persona within A.I.M. He succeeded in duplicating the Super-Soldier Serum behind Captain America for himself and was a physically perfect human being calling himself Victorius, he first attempted to take over A.I.M. but failed to do so.^[2] As the leader of the Cult of Entropy, he created Jude the Entropic Man as a means of spreading destruction.^[3] However, he had to deal with his rebellious creation, resulting in the former two transformed into a form of radiant crystal by the Cosmic Cube.^[4]

George Clinton was the third individual to use the Scientist Supreme persona within A.I.M. He provided the Red Skull, Armin Zola and the Hate-Monger with a restored version of the Cosmic Cube, but he gets his mind drained (along with many others) by the supervillains as a power source for the very device that he helped restore.^[5]

Valdemar Tykkio was the fourth individual to use the Scientist Supreme persona within A.I.M.^[6] Valdemar had occasional encounters with Iron Man while dealing with his brother Yorgon Tykkio trying to take his coveted position.^[7] Tykkio later had a deal with HYDRA to eliminate Madame Masque, resulting in a confrontation with Iron Man and the Hulk.^[8]

Monica Rappaccini is the fifth individual to use the Scientist Supreme alias within A.I.M.^[9]

Earth's "Scientist Supreme" is an alias when Hank Pym grew to a large enough size to encounter the cosmic entity Eternity,^[10] however, the trickster god Loki claimed to utilize Eternity's form in order to trick the so-called Scientist Supreme.^[11]

Andrew Forson is the seventh character within A.I.M. to use the Scientist Supreme title. The character first appeared in Fantastic Four #610 and was created by Jonathan Hickman and Ryan Stegman.

Forson was the Scientist Supreme of A.I.M. after the organization went public and established their base in the sovereign island nation Barbuda and overthrew the Wizard with consent of the rest of A.I.M. Barbuda was then renamed A.I.M. Island.^[12]

Forson appears as the Supreme Leader of the new High Council of A.I.M., consisting of Graviton (as the Minister of Science), Jude the Entropic Man (as the Minister of Health), Mentallo (as the Minister of Home Affairs), Superia (as the Minister of Education in Bagalia), Yelena Belova (as the Minister of State in Bagalia), and the undercover Taskmaster (as the Minister of Defense).^[13] Forson then leads A.I.M. into attending a weapons expo, which led to A.I.M. fighting against the Secret Avengers. During the battle, Forson takes the opportunity to steal the Iron Patriot armor.^[14] Daisy Johnson launched an unsanctioned operation to send the Secret Avengers to A.I.M. Island to assassinate Forson, and the group seemingly killed him. Despite Johnson ending up suspended for breaking protocol and Maria Hill being put in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D. again, Forson was revealed to be alive all along, and the news of A.I.M. being a new permanent member of the Security Council is known.^[15]

Forson finds Superia badly injured after an incident on A.I.M. Island regarding an escaped creature.^[16] An A.I.M. Agent then approaches Forson and Superia, showing the two a 2-D hologram of the organism beating the Avengers. Taking pride in this, Forson orders their translocator activated and to retrieve their "lost child".^[17] When Taskmaster is shot and seemingly killed by Mockingbird now under Forson's control,^[18] Forson revealed that Mockingbird was secretly working for Forson years ago, and that he used Mockingbird so he could take over the Cult of Entropy.^[19] Forson also uses Adaptoids from an alternate reality to combat the Avengers.^[20] Using an unidentified device, Forson and A.I.M. accelerate the flow of time in the limits of A.I.M. Island, creating in a matter of hours for the real world year of progress and transforming A.I.M. into a technologically advanced empire.^[21] When Smasher comes to the island, Forson has Jude the Entropic Man transform her into his messenger.^[22]

Forson is an experienced scientist with genius-level intellect.
