History

Cal Trimble was Steve Rogers' landlord when the Star-Spangled Avenger was rooming at the Corinth Hotel past its glory days near Gramercy Park. While he never learned Rogers' secret identity as Captain America, Trimble became suspicious of Rogers before too long. especially after a pair of local cops, one he recognized as Sgt. Muldoon, broke into his room and searched it.

A frequent but unsuccessful player in a local card game, Trimble tried to blackmail Rogers by insinuating that he had dirt on him. but Rogers didn't fall for it. After returning from Grimrock Prison Steve went to his room only to find another tenant had taken up its occupation. When Cal confronted Steve he explained that he was evicted and sold all his belongings for not complying with paying his "extra rent". Steve was about to confront Trimble but was distracted by a newspaper slandering his name.
