Biography
Bolivar Trask was an industrialist and business owner. He was the President and CEO of Trask Industries. Throughout the late 1960s, Trask took a strong interest in the growth of the country's mutant population. He believed that the ever-increasing rise of new mutants would ultimately spell extinction for the human race. To combat the perceived threat of mutants, Trask began developing a series of mutant-hunting robots dubbed Sentinels.

He became a strong advocate of human independence against mutants and petitioned the United States government to sanction his Sentinel program. In the original timeline, Bolivar Trask was assassinated by a mutant terrorist named Mystique. He became a martyr to the cause, and the country took a strong stance against mutants. Trask's Sentinel program was put into motion and mutants quickly found themselves being targeted and terminated to the point of extinction. From a point in the distant future, the surviving X-Men took one of their own, Wolverine, and sent him back in time to the 1970s to prevent Mystique from assassinating Trask.

Bolivar Trask was later found guilty of selling military secrets and was imprisoned. What became of him following these events is unknown.
