Dr. Fitzroy J. Cobb, Ph.D., M.D., better known as Dr Macabre, or 'the Monster Maker', is a Schimmelhorn Engineer (e.g., a non-mutant mad scientist) who seeks to find a scientific explanation for phenomena such as vampires, werewolves, zombies, and the like. To this end, he abducts teenagers and experiments with them, turning them into mock forms of the creatures he is studying, and uses them as his minions (if they survive the process). As of 2006, there were over 500 deaths attributed to his actions, mostly victims of his experiments.
