History:

(Marvel.com) - Mako was grown a test-tube baby from the combined DNA of Attuma, Orka, Meranno and Tyrak.

(Vengeance#1) - Alongside the young female Black Knight and Radioactive Kid, Mako was welcomed to the Young Masters as a new recruit by Executioner and Egg-Head.

(Vengeance#2) - Devlin Deangleo introduced an old Hydra base in Pennsylvania to the Young Masters to serve as their new headquarters. Later, hoping to make a name for themselves, the Young Masters followed the Executioner's plan to kill Bullseye, who they determined to be in a secure holding area. The five killed the guards there; Mako chewed on one dead guard. As they stood around Bullseye's charred corpse, Lady Bullseye attacked, shooting Mako in the neck, knocking out the other Young Masters, then slicing Mako's head off when he tried to attack her from behind.

Special thanks to Rob London for providing the link to the Marvel page on Mako for the Vengeance LS, where writer Casey says of Mako: "The first Atlantean test tube baby, grown from the cells of various water-breathing villains that have been in and out of custody over the years ... What do you get when you mix the DNA of Attuma, Orka, Meranno and Tyrak? You're about to find out."
