Simon Baumé seemed harmless enough at first. The kind of idiotic gimmicked criminal who caused trouble, got knocked around a bit by costumed heroes, then went out of sight and mind.

Then The Mad Confectionist killed a member of the Canadian team at the World Pastry Cup -- stabbing him through the heart with a piece of hard candy. After that, the authorities decided to take things seriously. Baumé was arrested, convicted, and thrown in prison.

In prison The Mad Confectionist became hardened, realizing that he had to be tough to survive. He fell in with other dangerous villains, forming an alliance with Daddy-O in particular. And as with his newfound friend, Baumé's power likewise emerged during his imprisonment.

He developed the ability to sculpt molten candy into shapes of his choosing and animate them through willpower alone. So he unleashed a sugary-sweet grizzly gummie bear, which mauled the guards and smashed a hole in the prison wall.
