History:
(Marvel Comics Presents#100/1) - Tinner and his team were hired by Dr. Doom to build a device that could prevent Doom from having nightmares. Tinner couldn't do it, but at least he made a fail-safe which allowed Doom to awaken from his nightmares. Doom wasn't satisfied with this, and Tinner immediately offered to take his own life, but Doom had other plans. He made a "Monk of Doom" Tinner's supervisor and told Tinner that he would be punished later.

(Marvel Comics Presents#100/2-4 - BTS) - Under the Monk's supervision Ghost Rider and Wolverine were captured and a device was built by Tinner to unite them with Doom in a nightmare.

The nameless Monk was from the same order that was slaughtered in Fantastic Four III#3 by Crucible.

CLARIFICATIONS:
Doctor Tinner has no known connection to:


nameless Monk

He was brought in from Tibet by Doom to help Doom against Nightmare. The Monk ordered the capture of Ghost Rider and Wolverine who were both immune to Nightmare's powers. He supervised Dr. Tinner's work and combined with the Monk's knowledge a machine was built to unite Dr. Doom, Ghost Rider, and Wolverine in a dream against Nightmare. The Monk was connected to Doom while he dreamt and got killed by a backlash of fear when Doom was once again haunted by Nightmare. Doom woke up and wanted to punish the Monk for failing him, but the Monk was already dead.
