Back Story of the Sixth-Scale Mutant Leader from Sideshow Collectibles

Some 2000 years into the future, man waged war so great, it rendered the human race nearly extinct. From this new civilization arose a civilization ruled by intelligent apes. Some humans survived the holocaust, but grew up as mute and uneducated foragers living in the wild. Before long, it was clear that the Ape was now dominant and man was servant. But another breed of Man also survived the holocaust – a mutated human who survived the catacombs of the urban metropolis. They were horribly deformed from the fallout, left with twisted, pale and veinous flesh. The Mutants regard this ghastly appearance as the "inmost self" and wear masks to resemble normal, un-mutated humans. The Mutant Leader controls his people with a devout religious existence, worshiping a bomb marked Alpha Omega: a Doomsday bomb with the power to destroy the Earth! The Mutant Leader heads a council of high priests and protectors of their kind, and conducts a daily mass where the mutants all gather and sing the praises of being the "Keepers of the Divine Bomb." The Mutant Leader preaches the "Glory of the Holy Weapon of Peace." To defend their existence from the apes, the Mutants have developed the ability to use "peaceful" mind control against their enemies, forcing enemies to kill each other, so that they don't have to. They can mentally see outside of their lair, which helps the Mutant Leader anticipate enemy attacks. But when astronauts Taylor and Brent invade their sacred hideout to escape from the Gorilla Army, these strange, un-mutated humans blur the lines of friend and for. The Mutant Leader must decide who his true enemies are in a climactic conclusion with the fate of the Earth hanging in the balance!
