Andrew Chord is a character in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is African American. His first appearance was in Thor #411. Chord is the mentor of Night Thrasher and the New Warriors. He is also the father of Silhouette and Midnight's Fire, and the son-in-law of Warriors villain Tai.

Character biography

Andrew Chord serves as an Army sergeant during the Vietnam War. His unit, known as the "Half Fulls", deploy to the Bolaven Plateau north of the Se Kong river in Cambodia, where they scout locations for an airfield. The unit comprises six soldiers, including Night Thrasher's father Daryl Taylor, Diego Cassaes a.k.a. the Left Hand, and the fathers of the members of the Folding Circle, encounter the Temple of the Dragon's Breath, where a seemingly English-speaking Cambodian geriatric named Tai restrains them via magic. Tai tells the soldiers of the history of her people and asks the soldiers to mate with six young women in her cult. The soldiers are led to believe that their children will one day rule the world. Five of the soldiers agree, including Chord; Daryl Taylor refuses because he is married.

Chord is married off to Tai's only daughter, Miyami, who he brings home to America. Miyami gives birth to their biracial children: Silhouette and Aaron (Midnight's Fire). Miyami fakes her and her children's death in a car crash to avoid their being used as Tai's pawns. She leaves her children to be raised in Manhattan's Chinatown and disappears. Chord, believing his wife and children are dead, becomes a mercenary and travels the world. He meets Cable, a time traveler, who also works as a mercenary.

Chord eventually returns to the Dragon Breath's temple in Cambodia, where Tai instructs him to resume his friendship with Taylor and his wife Melody. Chord becomes godfather to their infant son, Dwayne Taylor. Tai later demands that Chord kill Daryl and Melody to fulfill his role in the pact. Chord reluctantly does so, shooting his friends in a crowded restaurant in front of six-year-old Dwayne; Tai then erases Dwayne's memory of the event.^[140]

Chord and Tai train Dwayne to fight crime to avenge the murders of his parents, never revealing their role in the incident. They also use the Taylor Foundation, a charitable organization that Dwayne inherited from his father, to invest in illegal operations. Dwayne becomes friends with fellow crime fighters Silhouette and Midnight's Fire.^[141] Tai and Chord, who do not know that Chord is their father, disapprove of Dwayne's friendship with them and his romance with Silhouette. The partnership between Dwayne and the siblings ends when Silhouette is shot and seriously injured by a Korean gang member during a failed undercover operation.

Dwayne becomes Night Thrasher on Tai and Chord's urging, and assembles a young team of superheroes named the New Warriors.^[142] Tai secretly intends to sacrifice the New Warriors to the well of the Dragon's Breath cult in place of the members of the Folding Circle – the children from the matings of the soldiers and the female cult members – and absorb their powers. Meanwhile, Chord accompanies the New Warriors to Brazil to investigate Project: Earth. He battles Force of Nature alongside them,^[143] and works with them when team up with X-Force, revealing that he knew the X-Force leader Cable from his days as a mercenary in Vietnam.^[144] In a related story, Chord is one of the many heroes to become stuck inside the mind of Piecemeal when the entity attempted to convert the world into a mathematical construct. The X-Factor team talks Piecemeal out of his plan.^[145]

Night Thrasher eventually uncovers Chord's misuse of Taylor Foundation funds and confronts him. Chord tricks the other New Warriors into thinking that Dwayne is being controlled by an outside force, but his deception is uncovered. Chord shoots himself in the head rather than revealing the truth. Marvel Boy rushes a dying Chord to the hospital,^[146] where Chord admits to killing Night Thrasher's parents. Miyami also comes to visit,^[147] and Tai reveals to Silhouette that she is Chord's daughter.^[148] Tai then murders Miyami when she discovered her deception about the car crash. Tai partially heals Chord using her magic.^[149] Chord recovers for several months. Tai is later killed by Night Thrasher when she attempts to sacrifice the New Warriors and the Folding Circle.^[150]

Soon afterwards, Chord hires the Poison Memories to stage his kidnapping and frames other corrupt members of the Taylor Foundation board, with the hope that Dwayne would investigate and intervene in the company's dealings. After undergoing lifesaving surgery, Chord reconciles with Night Thrasher and Silhouette.^[151] Chord is later named legal guardian of Elvin Haliday a.k.a. the New Warrior Rage, after Haliday's grandmother is killed by the Poison Memories.^[152]

Chord and his former mercenary buddy Sprocket later help Dwayne uncover the truth about his father's illegitimate son Donyell. When the New Warriors are sent to various points in time by the Sphinx, Chord and Sprocket help Hindsight Lad recruit a new team of Warriors to battle the Sphinx.^[153] Since then, Chord has not yet reappeared in the comics, and after Night Thrasher's death and the Civil War,^[154] Donyell Taylor has assumed control of the Taylor Foundation.^[155]

Powers and abilities

Chord is an athletic man, but has no superhuman powers. He knows hand-to-hand combatant, and has combat training and military experience. He is a good marksman with conventional firearms.

Guardian, the founder of Department H and leader of the still-active Alpha Flight. Courtney manipulates the recruits into seeking their own revenge on Alpha through an "influencer" device built into her systems.^[255] Courtney is unable to influence Roger Bochs, the inventor of the Box robot, who remains loyal to Hudson and the Flight program, forcing Jaxon to directly involve himself by taking control of Box.^[253]

Luring James and Heather Hudson to America with an offer of employment at Roxxon in New York City, Jaxon and Omega Flight ambush James while Heather is detained by Courtney. During an attempted escape, Heather damages Courtney's flesh-like facial covering, revealing that she is a robot. Although Omega Flight seemingly enacts revenge by apparently killing James, Courtney witnesses Jaxon's death from feedback caused by Box's destruction;^[253] Omega's remaining members are turned over to the police.^[256]

Escaping capture, Courtney frees Omega Flight from jail and employs the group in a new plot against Alpha Flight.

Mainstream version

She is the industrialist and supervillain financier Justin Hammer's daughter. Justin disapproves of his daughter, and she constantly tries to prove her worthiness. She eventually follows in her father's footsteps and uses the supervillain community to accumulate power for herself as the Crimson Cowl.^[309] Shortly after the Avengers' and Fantastic Four's apparent deaths, the Crimson Cowl forms her own version of the Masters of Evil while working for Hydra, with the hope of winning New York City's crime families' favor which enrages the Thunderbolts led by Baron Helmut Zemo as Citizen V. When the Thunderbolts face the Masters of Evil in battle, the Crimson Cowl and her team escape when her teleportation ability creates a blinding flash. In a later fight with the Thunderbolts, the Crimson Cowl escapes again.^[310]

After the Thunderbolts turn on Zemo and Techno, causing villains and heroes alike to hate them, the Crimson Cowl attempts to induct them into the Masters of Evil. She sends Cyclone to bait the Thunderbolts into an ambush. After defeating the Thunderbolts, she attempts to blackmail them into joining her, threatening to turn them over to their enemies.^[311] The Thunderbolts decline her offer and are saved by Hawkeye disguised as Dreadknight.^[312]

The Masters of Evil, outnumbering the Thunderbolts with 25 members, then plan to use a weather machine to blackmail world leaders for one billion dollars. Hawkeye infiltrates the group, using Moonstone's reputation as a traitor for attempting to unmask the Crimson Cowl who had teleported Dallas Riordan into her Crimson Cowl costume before the unmasking.^[313]

During a battle between the V-Battalion and the Thunderbolts, the Crimson Cowl teleports Riordan to her hideout on the border of Symkaria and Latveria as a prisoner. Riordan escapes and falls off a bridge during a fight with the Crimson Cowl, paralyzing and nearly unmasking her.^[314]

Hammer is friends with Silver Sable who allows her to stay in the country of Symkaria after inheriting her father's fortune, initially unaware that Hammer is a supervillain. The Crimson Cowl creates a new incarnation of the Masters of Evil, but Hawkeye, Songbird and Plantman defeat most of its members and convince several of them that the Crimson Cowl would kill the group with a biotoxin. Hawkeye also inducts several members of the Masters of Evil into the Thunderbolts. She's defeated when Skein deconstructs her Crimson Cowl costume, leaving Hammer naked and allowing the Thunderbolts to place her in a cell.^[315]

Beginning with the Iron Man storyline "Stark Resilient", mother and daughter promote Detroit Steel to investors (such as corrupt military General Bruce Babbage) while Tony Stark promoted repulsor technology as free energy to the world. Justine also buys surplus H.A.M.M.E.R. equipment sold after Norman Osborn's fall for her personal line of mechanized battle suits.^[318] Hammer continues as an adversary alongside the Mandarin in subsequent Iron Man storylines, including "Demon",^[319] "The Long Way Down",^[320] and "The Future".^[321] After Iron Man and Zeke Stane join forces to escape captivity, Justine is warned to which she ignores before Sasha and Zeke kill her for revenge for the Mandarin's abuse.^[322]

Hammer is resurrected by Belasco as part of a plot with Roxxon alongside Monica Rappaccini of A.I.M. to take over Stark Unlimited as the new Iron Monger. She uses a magic virus on Iron Man's armor, and utilizes Flying Tiger, Tiger Shark, the Strikeforce B.E.R.S.E.R.K.E.R.s and Force II as diversions. Justine has Doctor Druid at the meeting as her broker and the board of directors found in her favor, resulting in a fight with Iron Man where Justine's demonic deal is revealed which gets stopped by Iron Man.^[323]

Backus, unaware of Cross's illicit activities, becomes engaged to him, until Cross steals the technology and disappears, faking his own death and framing Backus for murder. After surviving an attempt on his life, which costs him his left eye and his left ear, he replaces them with cybernetic implants and becomes a prosperous high-tech freelancer known as "Crossfire".^[338]

Plotting to make the growing superhero community exterminate each other via ultrasonic mind control, Crossfire abducts the Thing to test his technology. Moon Knight (Marc Spector) interferes and Crossfire is defeated.^[339]

Crossfire secretly rebuilds his operations at his first cousin Darren Cross's company, Cross Technological Enterprises (CTE). When Hawkeye and Mockingbird investigate, Crossfire hires Bombshell, Oddball, and Silencer to assassinate them. When they fail, Crossfire decides to make Hawkeye a test subject for his super hero mind control plot. Hawkeye thwarts Crossfire's brainwashing, captures the criminals and rescues Mockingbird, who he marries shortly thereafter.^[340]

Crossfire subsequently stalks the newlyweds to the estate of former film star Moira Brandon.^[341] The Death-Throws, a juggling supervillain team, frees Crossfire from police custody. When he is unable to pay the group, they hold him ransom until Captain America, Hawkeye, and Mockingbird capture them.^[342] Crossfire escapes and places a bounty on Hawkeye's arm, hoping to destroy the hero's skills and break his spirit. An army of supervillains, including the Brothers Grimm, Mad Dog, Bobcat, Razor Fist, Bullet Biker, and the Death-Throws, are all defeated by Hawkeye, Mockingbird, and Trickshot. Hawkeye pursues Crossfire through the sewers, knocking him off an outfall dam's edge, which he hangs onto. Hawkeye contemplates letting Crossfire fall to his death, but he saves him and sends him to prison.^[343]

Crossfire is later recruited by Lucia Von Bardas, along with other technology-based supervillains, to attack Nick Fury and a group of superheroes who were involved in a secret war in Latveria. The hired supervillains are each a component of a bomb designed to destroy the city. Fury and the heroes foil the plot and arrest the supervillains involved.^[344]

During one of his prison stays, Crossfire befriends Vector of the U-Foes, whose secret power nullification technology he hopes to exploit. After an encounter with S.H.I.E.L.D., he is imprisoned in the Vault, where the exonerated Backus is a member of the Vault's Guardsman force. Backus pretends to aid, and then foils, an escape plot by the U-Foes and Crossfire, turning the criminals against each other. She then fakes her own death, and steals a fortune in cash and valuables from the criminals, including Vector's power nullification chamber, which Backus later claimed to have secretly destroyed. The criminals are later transferred to the Raft, a super-prison, but they escape during Electro's mass breakout, with Crossfire leading a gang of his fellow mind-manipulators: Controller, Corruptor, Mandrill, and Mister Fear. While pursuing Backus and the chamber, the U-Foes and Crossfire's gang fight a super-powered gang war in New York until Spider-Man, Captain America, and Iron Man's intervention. Crossfire and his gang, except for the Corrupter, are recaptured and Backus surrenders herself to the authorities.^[338]

Along with the Death-Throws, Crossfire is hired by R.A.I.D. to take part in a terror plot in London, only to be foiled by Union Jack, Contessa Fontaine, Sabra, and the Arabian Knight. Crossfire is knocked from the top of Tower Bridge into River Thames, and is believed dead when he does not resurface.^[345] Crossfire is revealed to have survived the fall and joins the Hood to take advantage of the superhero community's split over the Superhuman Registration Act.^[346] As a member of the Hood's crime syndicate, Crossfire repels the Skrull invasion alongside the superheroes, and then battles the New Avengers.^[347]^[348]^[349]

Crossfire later challenges Hood, who wants to use the zombie virus to gain power and influence, protesting that he was not interested in conquering the world.^[350] Led by the Wrecking Crew and Dr. Jonas Harrow, Crossfire and the rest of Hood's crime syndicate rebel against their leader and attempt to strike a deal with Osborn. They attack and defeat the New Avengers and subdue the Dark Avengers.^[351] Crossfire takes part in the siege of Asgard, an event orchestrated by Osborn. At the end of the battle, Crossfire evades capture.^[352]

Crossfire begins to deal in illegal arms, but is thwarted by Hawkeye and Mockingbird. He forms an alliance with the Phantom Rider (Jamie Slade), and with his new robotic army of Death-Throws, they plot to destroy the lives of the two heroes. Crossfire almost succeeds in killing Hawkeye and Mockingbird, severely wounding Mockingbird's mother and killing Hamilton Slade. As a result, Crossfire is captured and viciously beaten by Hawkeye. Despite being imprisoned with numerous injuries, Crossfire believes that he has won a small victory in pushing Hawkeye to a breaking point.^[353] Hawkeye later discovers that Helmut Zemo was the mysterious benefactor behind Crossfire's illegal arms dealing.^[354] The Thunderbolts' leader, Luke Cage, tells Hawkeye that he will not allow Crossfire to join his team.^[355] Steve Rogers also recommended against allowing him to join the Thunderbolts, worrying that his skill in technology could allow him to override the nanite system used to control the inmates.^[356]

Crossfire is later hired as part of Misty Knight's "Villains for Hire" team in a battle against the Purple Man.^[357] He is also recruited by Max Fury to join the Shadow Council's incarnation of the Masters of Evil.^[358] In Bagalia, he is paid off by Nick Fury Jr. to let Taskmaster out of prison at the same time that the Secret Avengers raid Bagalia to recruit him.^[359] Crossfire is hired by his second cousin Augustine Cross to capture Cassie Lang for Cross Technological Enterprises, out of a belief that Cassie's Pym Particle-irradiated heart could sustain his father's body.^[360] Crossfire later accompanies Yellowjacket and Egghead in attacking Ant-Man and Stinger.^[361] During the "Search for Tony Stark" arc, Crossfire rejoins the Hood gang and assists in the attack on Castle Doom.^[362]

Abilities

Crossfire has no superhuman powers. He is a former CIA operative with expert marksman abilities, proficient unarmed combat skills, and extensive espionage training. He is also a master of brainwashing techniques, for which he has developed technology. Crossfire is an expert in the field of robotics and cybernetics, and has specialized knowledge of applied ultrasonics. Crossfire creates the "undertaker" machine, a brainwashing device which employs ultrasonic waves to stimulate rage in the emotion centers of his victims' brains.^[363] After an explosion causes Crossfire to lose his left eye and left ear, and sustain 85% loss of hearing in his right ear, he replaces his left eye with an infrared imaging device, which allows him to see in total darkness, and his left ear with an audio sensor that is more sensitive than the human ear.^[364] As a result of the loss of natural hearing in his right ear, Crossfire is unaffected by his own ultrasonic technology. His costume is made of Kevlar and has hidden compartments containing various weapons and devices. Crossfire uses twin handguns and a sniper rifle as his weapons of choice.
