History

The original Spymaster and leader of the Espionage Elite was a formidable opponent for Iron Man, and successfully infiltrated Stark Industries on more than one occasion. He also also eluded capture from the Golden Avenger numerous times. After his operative Mark Sharen was killed by the Ghost while using the Spymaster identity, the original Spymaster let the world believe he had died. Others have attempted to assume his mantle as Spymaster.

Years later he returned to action after being found by Norman Osborn, but quickly returned to the shadows. He owned a super-villain club and when the Avengers left Earth in order to battle the Builders, he gathered a group of super-villains to steal Iron Man's technology from the almost-defenseless Stark Tower.

Once in Stark Tower, Spymaster used teleporter discs to teleport some Iron Man Armors to his buyers, but he escaped and left the rest of his accomplices to be discovered by the heroes which were using the tower as a base. They managed to defeat the heroes, and they were offered to be taken to Spymaster by Titanium Man. When they arrived at the spaceship where Spymaster was staying, they were ambushed by him and Titanium Man, the latter of whom revealed himself to be Captain Atlas of the Kree, Spymaster's buyer.

The villains managed to escape custody and started fighting Spymaster, his new army of Iron Men, and Captain Atlas. The actual Iron Man arrived at the spaceship, after having tracked down the stolen suits of armor, and fought Spymaster and Captain Atlas along with the other villains. During the fight, Blizzard used recently discovered human-battery powers to overload and destroy the Hulkbuster armor Spymaster.
