About

At first, Cube was a temp that Dr. Forrester hired to assist him in his lab work. Desperate for the money, they let him do robotic experiments on them, making them into a cyborg. Eventually, Dr. Forrester simply got bored with them, and shot them into space via space shuttle, en route to the Satellite of Love. When they reached the giant ship, Joel welcomed them with open arms, and they became a part of the SOL crew.

Dr. Clayton Forrester

“creator”

Dr. Forrester changed so much of Cube’s biochemistry himself to make them a more effective temp or to just engineer them to be “superhuman.” Since he changed so much about them and how their body works, when he was done, he essentially considered them his own creation, hence giving them the Forrester surname. It's more of a signature / trademark than anything else.
