Richard Parker

== History ==
Richard Parker was born and raised in Queens, New York City. He lived there with his older brother, Ben Parker. Richard was recruited into the Central Intelligence Agency by Nick Fury. He married another agent, Mary Fitzpatrick, and the two of them had a son, Peter Parker, and a daughter, Teresa Parker, though the later was born in secret.
At an unknown point, Richard and Mary found the parts of Master Matrix, an advanced Life-Model Decoy capable of controlling other LMDs, in a Hydra weapons depot on an uncharted island. They rebuilt him, but Mary believed that Matrix was alive and that S.H.I.E.L.D. should set him free.
While Peter was still an infant, Richard and Mary were assigned to infiltrate the Algerian-based spy ring controlled by the Communist agent, the Red Skull. The moment the Red Skull learned that Richard and Mary Parker were double agents, he had them killed by one of his agents, the Finisher, in an airplane crash overseas, and framed for treason. While Richard and Mary were on assignment, Ben and his wife May took care of Peter. Ben and May had never had children of their own, but after Richard and Mary died, they became Peter’s surrogate parents and raised him as if he were their own son.
