Dr Richard Murdock was a respected government scientist for over two decades. His research helped to create numerous weapons and chemical formulas that have become weaved into the history of the League of Really Bad Superheroes.

While working on an experimental ‘Super Soldier’ programme, Dr Murdock developed the drug Smackup 187. Early trials of the drug proved unsuccessful, with many of the test subjects suffering horrible deformities and even death. Once a more stable version of the formula had been developed Murdock stole several vials for his own use.

A sociopath and generally nasty kind of bloke, he would often invite his young son to the labs to watch horrible experiments on human test subjects. The tests left the young boy badly traumatized.
While being forced to watch yet another horrifying test, the young boy began to cry and complain to his father. Furious, Dr Murdock placed the boy in a test chamber and subjected him to hours of radiation while throwing buckets of spiders over him (he was REALLY messed up).

The young boy underwent a series of changes caused by the radiation and developed all the strengths and weaknesses of a spider. He later joined the League of Really Bad Superheroes to fight his father, as Spider Bloke.

After the government discovered Dr Murdock’s unconventional methods, they dismissed him and warned him to disappear if he didn’t want to spend the rest of his days in prison. Murdock managed to smuggle out several of his expriments and most of his research papers before he left. He took the name Dr Murderkill and disapeared into the deserts of Africa, where his still resides in a high security complex, built with funds generated from the illegal sales of his experimental formulas.
