## Background

### 1976 - 1998: Kyle Morgan

Kyle Morgan II is the only son of Kyle Morgan Sr. & his wife, Irene Miller. His mother was a Canadian native, having been born & raised in Toronto. His father was from the states but had met Irene in his travels. Falling for the woman in such a short timeframe, he left his old life behind & move to the province of Ontario. The marriage did not last long as Kyle's birth brought up their very contrasting personalities & many clear reasons why the two should not stay married. After divorcing when Kyle was still a toddler, his father moved back to the states while his mother remained in Toronto. Kyle spent most of the year with his mother & spent the summers with his father. Then he would take turns on holidays, with spending Christmas in Canada one year then in the states for the next.

The constant moving & flights didn't bother Kyle much. If anything, it prompted his initial interest in planes. He ended up getting a job during high school to pay for flying lessons, eventually getting them during his last year. While he originally thought about stunt flying for movies, he decided to take a different direction. What started as a random interest turned to his career choice when Kyle enrolled at the United States Air Force Academy located right outside of Blue Valley, CO. He frequently ventured into the city with his friends, enjoying the small town environment. They even attended the sports games at the local high school and college to cheer the teams on. After four years in Colorado, Second Lieutenant Morgan graduated with a degree in Military & Strategic Studies, as well as a minor in Russian.

### 1998 - 2011: Kyle Morgan

Due to being one of the best fighter pilots, Kyle was recruited for various tasks throughout the globe. He was one of the first pilots to be sent out when the country was invaded by the Appelaxians, an alien race of energy beings that used special host bodies made of different materials. After the defeat of the aliens, Kyle would encounter a few more in his life. Due to his stellar skills & ability to out maneuver his opponents, he participated in holding off the Starro attack & the Sinestro Corps War as a useful ally to the Justice League & US government.

As Kyle continued to climb the ranks up to the title of Captain, he still made time to visit his mother, who had fallen sick from MacGregor's Syndrome while he was away. When he wasn't out in his aircraft in combat with aliens, he put in leave to see his mother. If he couldn't get out of work, his old girlfriend Rebecca would stop as she was Irene's main caregiver whenever Kyle was away. When his mother passed the next year, Kyle never visited Canada again other than to attend his mother's funeral. He quickly returned to service, becoming a Major than a Lieutenant Colonel while also working as a senior instructor for the USAF Fighter Weapons Squadron "The Aggressors."

### 2011 - 2014: Ace

It was clear to anyone that Ace was one of the best pilots in the Air Force, which is why he was recruited to become an instructor at pilot combat training school. His talents eventually put him under the spotlight with the upper brass who were looking to put together a special ops unit to assess various threats throughout the globe. After meeting with Major General Lawrence Flag, who was picked to lead the team, Kyle was picked to be one of the founding members & was the only non-Army member. When asked to choose a codename, he decided to go with the name Ace, which his buddies in the Air Force called him.

Ace became quite close with all members of the original team. Major General Flag became his mentor while Colonel Abernathy (aka Hawk) became his closest friend, leading to Ace looking to the two as his older brothers. He frequently worked on his fighting tactics with ninja commando Snake Eyes & black belt Scarlett. The two of him made him better combatant, teaching him various martial arts skills. Duke became like a younger brother to him, reminding of his friends in the Air Force with his tough attitude & ability to assess situations to come up with quick solutions. The two frequently bonded over the atrocities they had seen.

As the team expanded, so did Ace's family. Because he was the pilot, he spent most of his field time with Ripcord, the team's paratrooper & residential daredevil. The two became a good duo, with Ripcord usually helping Ace out whenever they ran into Cobra's fighter pilot Wild Weasel in the field. In one situations, the two were so evenly matched that the both of them ran out of missiles & ammunition, leading to the two calling it even for the moment.

Other missions that Ace has been involved in include destroying a Cobra supply base in Santa Prisca, removing a bomb from a training mission in Bjorland, scouting for Cobra's broadcast transmission in the Amazon Rainforest & saving Kahndaq's oil supply from Cobra bomb pilots to name a few. But his most memorable mission is the one he wishes he could forget. Before the team set up The Pit in the Mojave Desert, there was The Rock in Maine. When Cobra discovered The Rock's location after the Joes kidnapped the Baroness, they launched a full-scale attack on the headquarters. Lt. Gnl. Flag took the responsibility of staying eith the Baroness but that put him directly in the crosshairs of Major Bludd. Though Flag held on for some time, he was not as equipped to fight & was fatally shot in the chest by Bludd. While the Joes enjoyed the retreat of the Cobras, Ace had witnessed Flag's martyrdom & death in his own arms.

### 2014 - 2017: Kyle Morgan

With his mentor & good friend dead, Ace took some time to himself before deciding to follow an old passion of his & fly stunts for movies. He continued doing that for over two years until Hawk, who has now taken Flag's place as the Joes' commander, asked him if he wanted to use his experience to speak to traumatized soldiers. It took some convincing but when Hawk reminded him that his story mattered to a lot of people, he signed on. Though it was against orders, Kyle was adamant about taking commercial planes as he deserve no special treatment. If he knew what was to happen, he might have changed his mind.
