Cortech Industries

Cortech Industries is a cybernetics, robotics, and biological research company that specializes in gene manipulation research and constructing Cybernetic Human Enhancements (C.H.E.s), suits and implants designed to enhance the human race and extend its physical attributes such as strength, intelligence, and agility.

History
Cortech Industries was founded in 1940 by Nathaniel Cortech two decades after World War I had ended. Fearing that another similar war with a similar body count would occur in the near future, Cortech started his self-named company with the help of several investors. He wanted to develop technologies that would increase the physical limits of the human body to aid the United States Army in any future wars.

In early 2012, Cortech was put in the hands of a corrupt CEO named Henry Holton, who was secretly embezzling millions of dollars from the company, cutting the funding of dozens of projects. However, after an unfortunate accident, Holton was transformed into a half-man/half-earthworm degenerate creature simply known as the "Earthworm". After a fight with Bio-Man, Holton devolved into a pile of wriggling earthworms.

Trivia

 * The name Cortech is derived from the word "cortex", referring to the cerebral cortex, a crucial area of the brain of humans and other mammals.
 * The name also obviously includes the word "technology".
 * The C.H.E.s were invented for the military, which ironically is what Walter Cain said the cybernetic spinal chord was not for.
