Fictional character biography

edit

Curtis Elkins was a Guardsman at theVaulta prison for super powered criminals. While there Curtis befriended Hugh Taylor, a new guardsman fresh out of the army. Curtis left the Vault sometime after Hugh was murdered byVenomduring an escape.[volume & issue needed]

After that Curtis and a few of his fellow Guardsmen joined The Jury, an agency organized byGeneral Orwell Taylor.Their purpose was to track down and destroy Venom for his part in killing Hugh Taylor, Orwell's eldest son. To that end many of them were armed with sonic and fire generating weapons which the alien symbiote was vulnerable to. After Orwell was arrested for his part in the Arachnis Project, the Jury was reformed by his younger son Maxwell to fit the principles of civil rights and the legal court system. It was in fact a change done in accordance with Curtis' personal ideology of law and order. At a final fight with Hybrid, he was seriously injured, not only by physical damage, but also by mental contact with the symbiotes. Later Sentry and the other members of the Jury would be led byU.S. Agentand financed byEdwin Cord.The Jury was sent after the Thunderbolts but failed.[volume & issue needed]

They includeScreech(Maxwell Taylor),Ramshot(Samuel Caulkin),Bomblast(First Name Unknown, Last Name Parmenter),Firearm(Unknown),Wysper(Jennifer Stewart).[volume & issue needed]

His former enemy Scott Washington akaHybridwas also a guard in the Vault.[volume & issue needed]
