Who is Kismet?

Origin Maris Morlak , a nuclear physicist, Jerome Hamilton, a medical biologist, Carlo Zota , an electronics technician, and Wladyslav Shinski , a geneticist, were four scientists grouped together to improve the world. They formed the Enclave and built themselves a citadel of science called the Beehive, where they could develop technology to control the world. Their initial creation was Him , a genetically-perfect being, intended to be the first of an army of supermen, and father of a new race. But Him resisted their control and ruined the Beehive, escaping Earth and leaving Hamilton dead in the aftermath. The remaining three rebuilt and began again. This time they tricked Doctor Strange to help control their new creation, Paragon, by surgically altering its neurological structure. While Paragon was still developing, it became aware of the scientists' plans and overrode their controls. Paragon angrily broke free, battled the Hulk (whom Strange had secretly brought along as backup), and destroyed the Beehive, before placing itself into a cocoon to restore itself and meditate.
