Base of Operations: On the run across the U.K.

First Appearance: Eagle (1984)

Powers/Abilities: Bob has got heightened strength (Peter estimates it to be four times what it used to be, but how accurate this estimate is is open to conjecture.) Bob also has ape-like agility. His ability to communicate has been reduced, and possibly also his intellect, although he is still capable of reasoning.

History: When the twelve year old Trent brothers are involved in a car crash that kills their parents, it is not the end of their ordeal. While Peter is mostly unhurt, Robert is exposed to the some leaking nuclear waste thrown from the nuclear waste disposal truck that struck their car. As a result he is mutated into an ape-like state, and fearing that the doctors at the hospital only want to experiment on Bob, not cure him, Peter leads his brother in escaping the hospital and trying to seek out a cure.

Comments: After the accident the brothers end up being treated in Fenscale General Hospital. The doctors there say that his degeneration is due to exposure to gamma rays.

CLARIFICATIONS: None.
