Karl Malus was a scientist at IGH who was responsible for saving the lives of Alisa and Jessica Jones. Taking special care of Alisa, Malus helped her control her new found power and unpredictable rage, eventually marrying her. When Malus' work was uncovered by Trish Walker, he was hunted down by Jessica who learned of Alisa's survival.
