Dr. Paul Entmann is a former colleague and teammate of Dr. Jonas Venture Sr.. He was a member of Team Venture under the code-name Humongoloid. After an incident at the compound, Entmann was left trapped in a room with the M.U.T.H.E.R. computer mainframe and him-sized ants for 30 years until Brock Samson finally, and accidentally, stumbled into the room.

He was rescued by The Order of the Triad along with Brock from the room in What Goes Down Must Come Up.

In Now Museum - Now You Don't! we see that Entmann in a flashback as a member of the original Team Venture. He had been left in this giant state after a botched experiment. The original Dr. Venture (possibly the cause of the gigantism) attempted to shrink him down to ordinary size which ended up working, in Entmann's words 'A little too well.'

As Humongoloid

[edit] Inspiration

The name "Entmann" is most likely a play on Ant-Man, AKA Henry Pym, a Marvel Comics superhero with similar shrinking powers. Like Entmann's earlier incarnation as Humongoloid, Pym could also reverse his power to become the oh-so-imaginatively-named Giant-Man.

As Humongoloid, Entmann appears to be a reference to WWF wrestler Andre the Giant. In addition to the Humongoloid voice sounding similar to Andre, Humongoloid appears to suffer from chest pains referring to the heart condition Andre had due to his massive size.
