In the course of the story, it is revealed that the High Evolutionary received help from a mysterious benefactor, who provided him with the secrets of the human genetic code and access to Moloids to build his base on Wundagore Mountain. The story never reveals the identity of the benefactor, although it was long speculated to be either Phaeder of the Inhumans or the X-Men villain Mr. Sinister. It wasn't until nearly 25 years later that Marvel finally officially confirmed the identity of the mysterious ally to have indeed been Phaeder.
