Calling himself the Looter, he struck banks and offices everywhere, gaining his current name. Fester decided to devote his time and new powers to crime from then on. Immersed in the strange compound, he discovered that he now had super-strength and agility thanks to the meteor's powers. Fester decided to continue without funding, and while chiseling the meteor, he struck a pocket of gas. Excited by his discovery, Fester searched for funding into a project, but investors went for more commercial ventures. One day, however, he found an unusual meteor that crashed into the Earth. Fester was always a poor scientist, and was considered a crackpot by his colleagues.
