Character history

Curtis Elkins was a Guardsman at the Vault a 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 by Venom during an escape. The Vault is the widely used nickname of a defunct prison facility for super-human criminals (predominantly supervillains) in the Marvel Comics universe. ... Venom is a moniker used by several characters in the Marvel Comics fictional Marvel Universe. ...


After that Curtis and a few of his fellow Guardsmen joined The Jury, an agency organized by General 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 by U.S.Agent and financed by Edwin Cord. The Jury was sent after the Thunderbolts but failed.
