Believing that there should be no limits in experimenting with the human gene, Donovan has given birth to countless genetic experiments.

Among Donovan’s most notable creations is the DNAliens, which are genetically-altered beings that look alien in appearance and have extreme paranormal abilities, like Dubbilex . Another of Donovan's experiments was the creation of the miniature planet Transilvane which he filled with microscopic creatures duplicating classic monsters based on Donovan’s favorite horror films.
