David Bank (a.k.a. Marvel Boy) was a test subject of Adreamix Corporation, which conducted scientific experiments on over 100 abducted teenagers.
An entry for Adreamix Corporation on Jeff Christiansen "Appendix to the Handbook of the Marvel Universe" website identifies the real name of Adreamix test subject Marvel Boy as "Martin Banks" instead of "David Bank." We believe this is simply a mistake.
