He stole the Cosmic Cube to use to create Jude the Entropic Man as a means of spreading destruction.<ref>Marvel Two-in-One #42</ref> Jude rebelled against Victorius, and when Jude, Victorius, the Cosmic Cube and the Man-Thing all came into physical contact with each other, Jude and Victorius were transformed into a form of radiant crystal. Years later, Andrew Forson managed to "get Victorius out of the way" in order to take over the Cult of Entropy.

Hank Pym
At one point, Hank Pym grew to a large enough size where he encountered the cosmic entity Eternity, claiming to the former that he is Earth's "Scientist Supreme". However, the trickster god Loki claims he was using Eternity's form in order to trick the so-called Scientist Supreme.
Andrew Forson
Andrew Forson is the seventh character within A.I.M. to use the Scientist Supreme title. The character first appeared in Fantastic Four #610 and was created by Jonathan Hickman and Ryan Stegman.
He was the Scientist Supreme of A.I.M. after the organization went public and established their base in the sovereign island nation Barbuda and overthrew the Wizard with consent of the rest of A.I.M. Barbuda was then renamed A.I.M. Island.
Forson appears as the Supreme Leader of the new High Council of A.I.M., consisting of Graviton (as the Minister of Science), Jude the Entropic Man (as the Minister of Health), Mentallo (as the Minister of Home Affairs), Superia (as the Minister of Education in Bagalia), the female Super-Adaptoid (as the Minister of State in Bagalia), and the undercover Taskmaster (as the Minister of Defense). Forson then leads A.I.M. into attending a weapons expo, which led to A.I.M. fighting against the Secret Avengers. During the battle, Forson takes the opportunity to steal the Iron Patriot armor. Daisy Johnson launched an unsanctioned operation to send the Secret Avengers to A.I.M. Island to assassinate Forson, and the group seemingly killed him. Despite Johnson ending up suspended for breaking protocol and Maria Hill being put in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D. again, Forson was revealed to be alive all along, and the news of A.I.M. being a new permanent member of the Security Council is known.
