[edit] Publication history
Solo has had his own self-titled limited series.
[edit] Fictional character biography
Born in the USA, Solo works as a counter-terrorism operative, and makes limited appearances in the Marvel Comics universe. He is known for his catchphrase, "While Solo lives, terror dies!"
When the Sinister Six reform and defeat both Spider-Man and the Hulk, Solo aids the web-slinger in his second fight against the super villain team. Things take a turn for the worse when Mysterio uses an illusion to make Solo believe he is attacking the Six, when in reality he is attacking Spider-Man while the Six escape. Solo escapes and Spider-Man is rescued by Cyborg X and Deathlok. Soon after, Solo rejoins Spider-Man to aid him in a final assault on the Six aided by the Hulk, Ghost Rider, Sleepwalker, Nova, Deathlok and the Fantastic Four. With the villains defeated, Solo disappears.
Solo also once helped Spider-Man take on criminally-trained specialist versions of Captain America, Hawkeye and Spiderman himself.
Later, Solo assists dozens of other heroes in battling a seemingly rampaging Wolverine (he was being mentally influenced). He confronts Wolverine, side-by-side with Cardiac. Solo is swiftly defeated, suffering deep lacerations in the process. Cardiac is subdued with masonry.
Solo is hired by G. W. Bridge to join the new Six Pack alongside Hammer, Domino, Anaconda, and Constrictor in their mission to take down Cable. Like Bridge and Hammer, Solo is captured and placed in suspended animation. He is eventually released[1].
[edit] Civil War
During the Civil War, Solo sides with other heroes who oppose registration, including Battlestar and Typeface. While waiting to make contact with the resistance led by Captain America, Solo and the others are arrested by Iron Man, Ms. Marvel, Wonder Man and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents[2].
Solo has been identified as one of the 142 registered superheroes[3]. [4]
Solo was hired along with Clay, as bodyguards to protect Wally and Molly, cheery twins who sing Mutant hate-songs. They chained up M, tied up Siryn and taped her mouth shut, and locked both women in a desert bunker after they tried to round to kids up in order to enforce the kids grandparents' court granted visitation rights.
[edit] Powers and abilities
Solo has somewhat limited teleportation abilities, allowing him to "jump" from place to place within a given area, and is a master of many forms of combat, and an expert marksman.
