The Fantastic Four visited Reed Richards' old college professor Professor Gregson Gilbert at Gateway University in St. Louis. With the help of his laboratory assistant George, Professor Gilbert proudly showed them his newest creation: a sophisticated android named "Dragon Man." It was the professor's intention to use the android for good.
Unfortunately, George stole the controls to the android in order to use it for his own nefarious purposes. Needless to say, the Fantastic Four ended up battling Dragon Man but eventually thwarted George's dangerous plans.
What was George's deal? He was resentful because he felt like he had not received enough credit for his contributions in the development of the Dragon Man android. He felt like all the credit and glory went to Professor Gilbert. Well, yeah, George... you and every other graduate student who ever slaved away on a project.
So George stole the controls and used Dragon Man to disrupt the graduation ceremony at which Reed Richards was being honored by being bestowed an honorary degree by the university.
