Crossbones

**Brock Rumlow**, also known as **Crossbones**, is a supervillain who is a member of the leading council of Obsidian. In addition to serving as Obsidian's main enforcer, Rumlow is also a high-ranking member of HYDRA, and serves as their representative within Obsidian.

## Biography

Brock Rumlow was a high-ranking member of HYDRA and the personal enforcer of the organization's founder, the Red Skull. After his master's death, Rumlow was up for consideration to become their new leader, but he was beat out by Viper. He continued to serve Viper loyally despite his personal dislike of her.

When HYDRA was contacted by Query and Echo, the leaders of the mysterious organization Obsidian, Viper reached an agreement with them and began to send resources through portals to Earth-DC. She also appointed Crossbones to oversee Obsidian's operations, and the mercenary was made a member of the group's leading council, frequently traveling back and forth between dimensions to oversee the organization's progress.

At some point, Black Widow managed to escape the HYDRA dungeon where she was being held, cutting off Rumlow's right hand as revenge for him previously wedgieing her. Anthony Ivo provided him with a high-powered prosthetic to replace it.

After orchestrating the disappearance of the Justice League through one of Circe's portals, Crossbones accompanied the rest of Obsidian's leading council (as well as Blackfire) as they traveled to the Watchtower and personally abducted their first captive superheroine, Supergirl.

After Bentley Wittman broke into the Baxter Building and was confronted by the Invisible Woman, Crossbones entered and took her captive. He recruited Wittman to Obsidian as a scientist, giving him the wedgied Invisible Woman as a gift. Using high-tech anti-gravity devices that Wittman invented, Crossbones began to capture and imprison several male superheroes that had the potential to get in Obsidian's way.

The superheroine Rook was captured by an Obsidian team and brought to the Final Offer, where Crossbones interrogated her as to the location of her sidekick Wren. Rook never ended up cracking despite Crossbones' humiliating interrogation techniques, so the villain gave up on his hunt for Wren and had Rook added to Obsidian's collection of captured heroines.

Crossbones ordered Kraven the Hunter to travel to the Savage Land and set up a base for Obsidian there. To this end, Kraven hired Elsa Bloodstone to help him draw out and eventually capture Ka-Zar and Shanna. Following this success, Crossbones personally appointed Kraven to be the commander of Obsidian's Savage Land base.

After Venom captured Black Cat and Mary Jane Watson, Spider-Woman attempted to save the two women. In the middle of their fight, Crossbones appeared through a portal and managed to incapacitate the combatants using a sonic device combined with the Wizard's anti-gravity disks. He then brought Spider-Woman, Black Cat, MJ and the symbiote back to Obsidian's Savage Land base, providing Anthony Ivo with the symbiote to empower his rebuilt Amazo.
