Fuckwit was the result of a failed genetic experiment by The Professor. Originally Fuckwit was meant to act as an absolute equal to the world's greatest superhero at the time, instead he became the physical equivalent of Superman but the mental equivalent of an infant. He's often referred to by other villains as having downs syndrome. The Professor still finds good use for Fuckwit in the henchmen's unwaivering loyalty and willingness to follow any order. However the order must be given in negative connotation for Fuckwit to understand them. The Professor states at one point that "damn backwards talk is driving me crazy".
