Fixer (Daredevil)

The first Fixer was a mobster who was involved in extortion and illegal gambling. He paid boxer "Battling Jack" Murdock to take a fall and lose a fight. Murdock accepted the money, but when he saw his son, Matthew, in the audience, he became determined to continue the fight and eventually won by a knockout. The Fixer's right-hand man, Sweeney, killed Murdock after the fight in retaliation. Matthew Murdock, learning of his father's murder, vowed to bring men like the Fixer to justice, and became the superhero called Daredevil to do so. The Fixer had a fatal heart attack when confronted by Daredevil, and Sweeney was arrested and executed. All of this occurred in the course of Daredevil #1, and was revisited years later in the Daredevil: Yellow miniseries.

In two different incarnations of the Masters of Evil, he was the right-hand man of the team's leader Baron Zemo. In the second of those teams, the team changed their identity to the Thunderbolts, while he adopted the alias of Techno. He was then apparently killed when his neck was broken, and he transferred his mind into a robotic body, and this Techno sided, alone among the Thunderbolts, with Zemo when he went ahead with his scheme to conquer the planet. The Masters of Evil are a fictional team of supervillains in the Marvel Comics universe. ... Baron Zemo is the name of two fictional characters, both supervillains, in various Marvel Comics comic books, notably Captain America and the Avengers. ...

Zemo and Techno then decamped to one of Zemo's bases, where Techno began to experiment with cloning - offering to clone Zemo an unscarred body, and even cloning Kevin Costner for fun at one point. After the two fell out, Techno infiltrated the Thunderbolts by replacing Ogre, while continuing his experiments behind-the-scenes, including recovering Jolt's body when she was killed and placing it in a healing tube.

Techno's impersonation of Ogre ended when Scourge stowed away inside him, shrunken, and destroyed his body from the inside, while he refused to kill Jolt again to allow him to construct a new body. However, his backup plan worked, and his consciousness was returned to his original human body - mostly healed, although the nerve damage in his neck meant he required his techpac to bypass the damage - and the human Ebersol, initially amnesiac of the robot's exploits, returned to calling himself the Fixer. The Scourge of the Underworld is the name of a series of fictional characters who have appeared in various series set in the Marvel Comics universe. ...


Fixer then became one of the Redeemers, a government-backed team whereby criminals could use it to accelerate their sentences and clear their record, until most of that team was slaughtered by Graviton. He joined with the reunited Thunderbolts to stop Graviton, and was one of the team members exiled to Counter-Earth - while, by a complicated series of events, at the end of the trip, Zemo's consciousness ended up in his techpac. By threatening to disable it and leave him quadriplegic, Zemo managed to force Fixer to transfer the Baron's consciousness to his C-E counterpart's body. This article needs to be wikified. ... Graviton (comics) - Wikipedia /**/ @import /skins/monobook/IE50Fixes. ... Mobius is an Earth-like hypothetical planet, usually sharing an orbit with Earth but on the opposite side of the Sun. ...


The team remained on Counter-Earth for some time, until, in sealing a rift, they returned home, leaving Jolt (who Fixer saved from burning out in helping to seal the rift) behind.

After a brief fight, he accepted the challenge (and Deadpool's monetary inducement), and successfully bonded new, benign, techno-organic mesh to Cable.
