"Love and legacy are the sacrifices we make for progress." Currently, the two scientists do not associate themselves with each other and it's not clear as to whether Heimerdinger even knows that Singed is still alive. However, as Heimerdinger could not bring himself to accept Singed's depraved methods, the two of them decided to split up and go their own separate ways. Singed and Heimerdinger used to be partners and as a result, it can be assumed they were once close. Chemically Enhanced Physiology: Thanks to countless experiments on himself, Singed posses physical abilities far above that of a normal human.It is likely that Singed's development into his current sociopathic self was caused by the chemicals he injected into himself to boost his productivity, while also taking his humanity and empathy.

He was also shown to love and mourn his deceased daughter, even during the creation of Warwick, and gave Silco a sedative before operating on Jinx so he wouldn't have to watch his adoptive daughter suffer since Singed knew from being a father who lost his own daughter. He felt a sincere kinship with Viktor due to their similar pasts from being sickly and frail and helping him even when he left him for several years. Singed was not always as heartless, as he used to have genuine good intentions since he wanted his experiments to save lives. Eventually, Singed would start wearing additional bandages on his face to hear the scars inflicted there by an unknown test subject. The fire that destroyed his lab left his hair singed and several scars on his face. He is generally shown wearing a tattered brown coat and suit. Singed is a tall but extremely thin and pale-skinned, middle-aged man with chestnut hair and brown eyes. In response, Singed said that he had saved Jinx's life.Īfter Silco's death, Singed began the process of experimenting on an unknown individual, presumably the human version of Warwick, in his lab. When Silco regained consciousness, he pinned down Singed with a knife and angrily demanded to know what he'd done. Although Singed warned him about the risks of the procedure and the possibility of her dying, Silco was unwilling to let Jinx die, leading Singed to sedate him so that he wouldn't have to see Jinx suffer during the procedure. At the same time, however, the procedure also permanently changed her eye color to pink and exacerbated her mental instability. Using a highly experimental shimmer procedure, he was able to save her life and enhance her physical abilities to superhuman levels. After seeing Viktor's research on the Hexcore, Singed agreed to help him and gave him a vial of modified shimmer to help him use the Hexcore to cure his illness.Īfter Jinx was mortally wounded in her battle with Ekko, Silco took her to Singed for help. Years after Silco took over the undercity, a dying Viktor, now a young man, came to Singed and told him that he finally understood his convictions from back then. However, this did not end his cooperation with Silco and the latter was able to ultimately take control of Zaun with shimmer. One day, while working on the drug in his lab, he got caught in a massive explosion triggered by Powder and suffered severe burns as a result, particularly on the right side of his face.

Several years after Vander became the de-facto leader of the undercity, Singed found employment under a Zaunite crime lord named Silco and invented an addictive superhuman drug called shimmer. However, Singed's heartless methods in preserving Rio's mutation drove Viktor away after he found out, leaving Singed alone in his pursuits. Impressed by a ship contraption that Viktor made and noting that the boy had an interest in Rio, Singed befriended him and the two started to work together to save her life. One day while he was working with Rio, Singed met Viktor when the latter stumbled across his home as a child. At some point after he arrived in Zaun, Singed would adopt a Waverider named Rio, who had a rare mutation beneficial for his research. Singed would continue his chemical research, finding ways to utilize the toxic waste of the undercity for his own purposes. At some point between those events, Singed sired a daughter, who eventually passed away from unknown causes. As a result, the two of them eventually parted ways, with Singed moving to the undercity. Although they were initially partners, Heimerdinger did not approve of Singed's unethical and inhumane methods. During his younger years, he was known to have worked with Heimerdinger. Not much is known about Singed's early life.
