Unbeknownst to Masrani, Wu also dealt with InGen Security Division commander Vic Hoskins to create a specimen to use for military applications. With his new park, Jurassic World, slowly losing attendance, the decision was made that he could continue his work on genetic hybrids for a new attraction. What came from this research was the genetic equivalent of Frankenstein's Monster - the Indominus Rex. Wu's hybrid plants quickly brought him into the focus of Simon Masrani, CEO of InGen. Following the first hybrid plant's creation, the pieces were in place to eventually create the Indominus Rex.Īfter 12 years of work, Dr. Without the ability to recreate dinosaurs, Wu's efforts were put into plant hybrids. This thought was born following his discovery of the intelligence in the velociraptors and how the frog DNA they used to fill the gaps in the genome allowed the dinosaurs to switch gender and reproduce. Henry Wu became fascinated by the idea of genetic hybrids. Before the Indominus Rex terrorized civilians in Jurassic World, the idea for the creature was born from the most unlikely places, a plant.įollowing the failure of Jurassic Park, geneticist Dr.
