Character biography

edit

Andrew Chord serves as an Army sergeant during theVietnam War.His unit, known as the "Half Fulls", deploy to theBolaven Plateaunorth of theSe Kongriver inCambodia,where they scout locations for an airfield. The unit comprises six soldiers, including Night Thrasher's father Daryl Taylor, Diego Cassaesa.k.a.theLeft Hand,and the fathers of the members of theFolding 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 inManhattan's Chinatownand disappears. Chord, believing his wife and children are dead, becomes a mercenary and travels the world. He meetsCable,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 becomesNight Thrasheron Tai and Chord's urging, and assembles a young team of superheroes named theNew 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 battlesForce of Naturealongside 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 ofPiecemealwhen 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 WarriorRage,after Haliday's grandmother is killed by the Poison Memories.[152]

Chord and his former mercenary buddySprocketlater help Dwayne uncover the truth about his father's illegitimate sonDonyell.When the New Warriors are sent to various points in time by theSphinx,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 theCivil War,[154]Donyell Taylor has assumed control of the Taylor Foundation.[155]

During one of his prison stays, Crossfire befriends Vector of theU-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'sGuardsmanforce. 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 duringElectro's mass breakout, with Crossfire leading a gang of his fellow mind-manipulators:Controller,Corruptor,Mandrill,andMister Fear.While pursuing Backus and the chamber, the U-Foes and Crossfire's gang fight a super-powered gang war in New York untilSpider-Man,Captain America, andIron Man's intervention. Crossfire and his gang, except for the Corrupter, are recaptured and Backus surrenders herself to the authorities.[334]

They attack and defeat the New Avengers and subdue the Dark Avengers.[347]Crossfire takes part in thesiegeofAsgard,an event orchestrated by Osborn.

Abilities

edit

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.[359]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.[360]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.
