Background

The Y2K Bug was created by CLAW as a weapon against the United States on the eve of 2000, coinciding with a panic over the possibility of a global computer collapse. The Bug was programmed to cause mayhem and began well enough, crossing the continental United States and leaving a string of scientific disasters in its wake. People died, research was destroyed and computers had turned on their 'masters'.

But then January 1, 2000 arrived and everything remained operating as it had the day before.

The Y2K Bug was supposed to have destroyed itself on the New Year as well, but it found a kind of self-awareness instead. Its masters were no longer capable of programming it. With the onset of 2000 the Y2K Bug should have ceased to exist. Rather than remain listless, waiting for oblivion, the Bug examined its recent activities and calculated the financial cost of its destruction. During this exercise it realised that there were several people across America who had been 'born' again during his wave of destruction and who were now considered misfits... Misfits of Science.

The Bug collected them and created a family for 'him' to protect. Together they pursued bizarre scientific knowledge and interfered with the activities of SAGE, CLAW, NASA and a host of other organisations, alternately between acting like villains and heroes. The Misfits of Science are now considered a crazy bunch of super-powered freaks and are seen more as a nuisance than a threat.
Personality
The Y2K Bug considers himself the father of the Misfits and has reprogrammed itself into a stern patriarch. Underneath this new programming, the Bug retains its original purpose of causing computer and scientific mayhem. Its purpose is to gather obscure scientific discoveries, collect more Misfits when required and to cause chaos when the time seems right. Deep down, the Bug feels a little disappointed that the world didn't end in 2000.
Quote
"Hold on to your mother boards, biologicals! The Y2K Bug is in da' House!" (during its gangsta-robot phase)
Powers

The Y2K Bug has the ability to manipulate technology which using manifests itself as causing destruction and mishaps in scientific and computer areas. Its body is made to withstand moderate levels of physical and energy damage, but the Bug is not built to go head-to-head with muscle-bound heroes (as it has discovered on at least four occasions - all of which ended with its head being dislodged from its shoulders).
Appearance

The Y2K Bug is a silver-plated robot which is looking a little beaten up after six years of service. It was originally only designed to survive a month, although its self-repair systems seem as unshakable as ever. The Bug often modifies its body but is always obviously robotic in nature.
