History
John Cray was a truck driver who saved the robot Ward from a group of human supremacists at the diner Marvel Gas. He then took Ward to another diner, Route 66 Burger. However, the duo had been ratted out by the supremacists to the Sapien League, who then attacked them at the diner. Cray was injured by the terrorists, and when Ward was at their mercy, the Soul Stone made landfall and bind itself to him, with the resulting energy charge taking down his attackers.
When Ward regained his senses, he wrestled control back of his body from the Soul Stone in order to tend to Cray, who the Soul Stone wanted to ignore, but he was approached by the Iron Man and Captain America. The Soul Stone took control of Ward's body again and a fight broke out. Ward eventually convinced the Soul Stone to trade his escape in exchange for letting the heroes tend to Cray.[1]
