Originally published in Bandai’s “Comic Weapon Cyber Comix” magazine in early 1988, the one shot manga was later released in a compilation volume of manga entitled “Gundam Generation.” The comic is, unfortunately, a product of its time. It follows an older model of the Universal Century timeline, one which has the U.C. calendar starting in 1969 following the Apollo 11 mission to the moon. Nonetheless, the story provides an interesting look into the mind of the man who would change the course of history forever through his discovery of “Minovsky Particles.”
Trenov Y. Minovsky was born in 1983 (UC0015) near Chernobyl. After moving to America in 1999 (UC0031) he enrolled in school and began research on a fictitious particle known as “Minovsky Physics”. But at the time his research was far too unrealistic, and no one understood where he was going with it. However, one of his buddies, Ionesco, informs him that Anaheim Electronic has agreed to sponsor his research. He is thrilled at this, much to the chagrin of Ionesco. Shortly thereafter in UC0040, the Minovsky particle is discovered. However, at a scientific conference, it is determined that the Minovsky particle has no relation to nuclear fusion reactors and that his thesis has no conclusive evidence. The reason behind it comes from Ionesco saying that it only has conventional technological applications. Ionesco also refutes Minovsky’s research by stating that a particle with a special nature like it was never detected.
As of this, he was deemed an impostor and forever banned from the scientific community. A short time later, he is approached by the Zabi family and later moves to Side 3. In UC 0045, the “Minovsky Physics Society” is established and weapons development is started. However, as he becomes increasingly obsessed with weapons development, which leads to his wife leaving him. Following the death of Zeon Zum Daikun in UC 0070, Minovsky receives an award for his developments, but tosses it aside in front of the entire Zabi family. From here he flees back to Earth to Chernobyl…
