André Gerard

The original Cyclone first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #143. Formerly a French engineer working for NATO, André Gerard had a falling out with his former employees, supposedly related to political decisions over implementing his research, based on the development of a weapon that generates high velocity tornado-like winds. Cyclone took his invention and used it for his own criminal ends, developing his costume and other weapons. Like many criminal masterminds in Spider-Man comics, he decided to form a gang and capture J. Jonah Jameson, the owner of the Daily Bugle, and like so many criminal masterminds who follow this plan, he was defeated by Spider-Man. He was subsequently broken out of prison and employed by the Nefaria Family of the Maggia, and was doing relatively well for himself (in spite of a subsequent defeat at the hands of Spider-Man). Concerned over the deaths of various costumed villains by the vigilante Scourge organization, Cyclone attended a meeting at the "Bar with No Name" and met his death at the hands of a Scourge agent posing as the bartender.

Pierre Fresson

The third Cyclone first appeared in Thunderbolts #3. Pierre Fresson was a member of a European crime family who was given the recreated Cyclone suit. Not wishing to serve the European crime family any longer, he stole the suit and fled. Now freelance, he operated as an agent of Justin Hammer, before being recruited into Justine Hammer's first incarnation of the Masters of Evil. As a part of the Masters of Evil, Cyclone battled against the Thunderbolts and other assorted heroes. Fresson also represented the European families when Grim Reaper called a meeting of Maggia bosses. Later, he attempted to steal Justin Hammer's will, before being soundly defeated by the Thunderbolts again. After it was revealed that Justin Hammer had planted time bombs in his former agents, Cyclone was given the option to work with the Thunderbolts to rid themselves of the threat. At first, Fresson attempted to flee, but quickly surrendered and joined the Thunderbolts. Running into Silver Sable like his predecessor, Fresson would assist the Thunderbolts in freeing Justin Hammer's former agents of their biological time bomb. He was also with the Thunderbolts when they attacked the omnipotent Thanos after Thanos had received the power of the Heart of the Infinite. Cyclone would battle against the Elite Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. before Hawkeye would give him the option of either remaining a Thunderbolt or being cut lose. Choosing the latter, Cyclone was dropped with an electrical arrow and turned over to S.H.I.E.L.D., as he was no longer a Thunderbolt, and therefore a felon.
