A group comprised of some of the greatest and most sinister minds of theEarth, Intelligencia was initially a group formed to exchange information between criminal geniuses. Their principal work together was the stealing of the different parts of theLibrary of Alexandria, scattered inWakanda,Atlantis, andOlympia. Their activities caused the coming of theBeyonder by using a tachyon ray, and they also healed theVenom Symbiote in the aftermath of theSecret Wars. Eventually, the Intel was betrayed byDoctor Doom and disbanded. But later, when theHulk returned to Earth and decided to wage war on the planet,M.O.D.O.K. and theLeader reformulated the team, hacking into defense satellites and channeling cosmic energy through them which ultimately led to the Hulk's defeat. Through this information they gathered, the Intelligencia discovered how to combinegamma andcosmic radiation to create a powerful being.^[1]

They approachedGeneral Ross and convinced him to become their ultimate weapon, theRed Hulk, as part of an scheme to defeat the Hulk and conquer the world.^[2] Many of the Hulk's allies were captured, brainwashed and transformed into Cosmic-Gamma Mutates, like theRed She-Hulk,^[3]A-Bomb,^[4] andAmadeus Cho.^[5] The plan ultimately failed; Amadeus used his recently gained powers to change M.O.D.O.K. back into George Tarleton again,^[3] and the Red Hulk drained the Leader's body of all radiation so that he was no longer the Leader.^[2]

A more recent line-up, composed ofM.O.D.O.K. Superior, theWizard, theMad Thinker and hisAwesome Android, theRed Ghost and hisSuper-Apes, and theChameleon disguised asKlaw, developed a new weapon with the ability of sending specific objects to space called the Zero Cannon. With it, theSinister Six killed theWinter Guard and most of the members of the Intelligencia, with only M.O.D.O.K. Superior, someA.I.M. agents, and one Super-Ape surviving.^[6]

M.O.D.O.K. Superior then managed to revive the dead members of the Intelligencia, as well as make space for theTrapster to join the team, and formulate a plan after their predicted shattering of the super-hero community. Their meeting was interrupted byDeadpool, who tried to sink the ship they were on, but he was defeated by the Trapster.^[7]
