Backstory: A somewhat talented chemist who was doomed to eternally be lost in the shadow of Professor Chemico, the greatest scientist in the world! Attempting to apply to work at the same university as Professor Chemico which ended in failure. He submitted a plasma which would supposedly benefit the military only for it to be found out as worthless.
Frustrated by the fact that nobody saw his chemistry abilities as having much merit, Toxino dedicated his efforts towards breeding insects with unique properties such as his ‘Red Winged Flies’ a red winged insect with wings more in common with a butterfly, its bite would drive people into a murderous rage, developing into a strange form of manic madness wherin those bitten would initially try to murder anyone and everyone in a blind rage, developing to a sort of manic murderous camaraderie in which those bitten would recognize one another and begin to cooperate to cause more murder.
Carrying a sack of flies with him at all times for whenever he felt the urge to toss one at someone and watch them become a murderous killer, Professor Toxino wished to have his revenge on anyone and everyone he believed wronged him no matter how false that claim truly was.
