JOHN GARRETT

 

JOHN GARRETT

Real Name: Jonathan Garrett

First Appearance: Elektra Assassin (Vol. 1) #2, September 1986
 

Powers: A baseline human with a history of repeat offender crimes and imprisonment, Jonathan Garrett somehow became an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. with his past records secretly erased. Already possessing a cybernetic left hand and a steel skull plate from unspecified injuries, Garrett was caught in an explosion set by the mercenary Elektra, necessitating S.H.I.E.L.D. to completely rebuild his body via cybernetic components.

Cybernetic parts have replaced 80% of Garrett's body, including his limbs, spine, heart, liver, and lungs. He has plastic skin and metal bones, a steel plate in his skull, and his muscular system involves pneumatics, hydraulics, and internally-generated electrical power, granting him superhuman strength (approximately Class 5) and durability. He also has a recording device in his skull.

A graduate of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy, John Garrett is a highly skilled combatant, an ingenious tactician, an excellent marksman, and is quite adept with S.H.I.E.L.D. technology. Arrogant and offensive, he has little to no regard for professional protocol or even his own personal hygiene. He utilizes various handguns and is somewhat delusional as a result of Elektra's psychic tampering.
