X-Men Days Of Future Past film informatics Part 18: Bolivar Trask
Dr. Bolivar Trask is the main antagonist of X-Men: Days of Future Past. He is President and CEO of Trask Industries, and the one responsible for developing the Sentinel program- a race of robot soldiers designed to hunt and kill mutants. Little did he know that the Sentinels would also target everyone else...
Even from his early years as a research assistant, Bolivar always maintained a particular interest in the origin and evolution of humanity. Following in the footsteps of Mendel, Watson and Crick, Trask made it his goal to unlock the mysteries of human DNA. What he did not anticipate was the discovery of the X-Gene, a genetic finding that would prove to be the most significant of the 20th century.
Trask soon hypothesized the impending extinction of the human race. His early theories were ridiculed by his contemporaries and with no one to fund his research, Trask cared enough about humanity to invest in the founding of Trask Industries in 1967. Since its founding, Trask Industries has been at the forefront of human progress, partnering with domestic and international governments since the Nixon administration. Trask’s early ambition for genetic progress continues to fuel our technological innovations today.
