Andrew Forson is the seventh character within A.I.M. to use the Scientist Supreme title. The character first appeared in Fantastic Four #610 and was created by Jonathan Hickman and Ryan Stegman.

Forson was the Scientist Supreme of A.I.M. after the organization went public and established their base in the sovereign island nation Barbuda and overthrew the Wizard with consent of the rest of A.I.M. Barbuda was then renamed A.I.M. Island. [12]

Forson appears as the Supreme Leader of the new High Council of A.I.M., consisting of Graviton (as the Minister of Science), Jude the Entropic Man (as the Minister of Health), Mentallo (as the Minister of Home Affairs), Superia (as the Minister of Education in Bagalia), Yelena Belova (as the Minister of State in Bagalia), and the undercover Taskmaster (as the Minister of Defense).

[15]

Forson finds Superia badly injured after an incident on A.I.M. Island regarding an escaped creature. [16] An A.I.M.

Taking pride in this, Forson orders their translocator activated and to retrieve their "lost child".

[19] Forson also uses Adaptoids from an alternate reality to combat the Avengers. [20] Using an unidentified device, Forson and A.I.M. accelerate the flow of time in the limits of A.I.M. Island, creating in a matter of hours for the real world year of progress and transforming A.I.M. into a technologically advanced empire.
