Augusta Bromes was an agrochemist who spent most of her years working for the best agrochemical and biotech companies in the world. After realizing that these companies only used their knowledge to create seedless plants that could no longer reproduce in order to sell more products in the name of wealth and consumerism, Augusta decided to form with some of her colleagues a group of like-minded agrochemicists, bio-technologists, and bio-engineers who specialized in genetic manipulation and the spread of all things botanical called the Hordeculture, who aimed within ten years to control the entire food supply of the world.
She led the Hordeculture in an incursion to the Krakoan Harvest Center, located in the Savage Land. After a confrontation with Cyclops, White Queen and Sebastian Shaw, they managed to collect samples of the Krakoan genome in order to study it and learn how it worked to convince the living island to support the aims of the Hordeculture or otherwise bend it to their will.
Later, Bromes was also involved in the Hordeculture's raid on the island of Genosha, within the framework of the Cotati invasion, where they tried to collect samples for study of the alien species. In the process, they fought plants and mutant zombies.
