| Joaquim Robichaux along with Elizabeth Vaughn and Gary Quinn were fellow electromechanical technology students at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey when, for unknown reasons, they decided to break into a warehouse, unaware that it was where the Commission On Superhuman Activities (CSA) stored hi-tech equipment, including various armours created by Thunderbolts member Abner Jenkins. Joaquim stole the MK-II armour and along with the others began committing crimes in the New Jersey area. | ||||
