Description:
Personality:
Nord is a flawed hero. He has aligned himself with the wrong people in the past and tries to remedy that. However it's not as easy as one would hope. He makes jokes but takes things excessively serious at times. Every mission is a matter of life or death to him, even if it's just a stake out. He likes to flirt but sees love as getting in the way of his job.
Powers/Abilities:
Kinetic Absorption:
He's able to absorb the energy from a kinetic impact, such as punches or concussive blasts. It increases his durability and strength. However it has limits as he can become overwhelmed with energy and pass out. Also he can't store any energy like others with his ability.

Since he was a member of Weapon X he was granted a healing factor. However it's not nearly as good as Wolverine's or Sabretooth's. It has slowed his aging and given him an immunity to toxins and disease.

History:
Nord was born in East Germany. However he fought against the communists as a freedom fighter for German Cell Six. His brother fought for the East Germans and Nord was forced to kill him in battle. He was injured after an encounter with an assassin and while recovering in the hospital he fell in love with a nurse. They were married and she became pregnant. However she was a double agent and he was forced to kill her when she attacked him.
In his guilt and despair he ended up joining Weapon X and their special group Team X. He changed his name and took the name Maverick. He went on several missions and had to deal with many painful experiements to enhance his abilities. When the group disbanded Nord left and went into hiding. He went back to his original name, sickened with what his former name had been put through.
He went back into mercenary work but eventually was contacted by the SHIELD. After evaluating his options. Namely join and any past crimes are erased or they hunt him down to turn him in for prosecution. He opted for the second one, killing some of the SHIELD operatives sent to catch him and injuring the rest. He was again contacted by SHIELD again who wanted him on their side. After making a better pitch he joined. He adopted the codename Agent Zero and went to work for SHIELD. He was outfitted with all kinds of weapons, including plasma blasters on his wrists, and his training was enhanced, making him a more formidable opponent. He now is a die hard SHIELD member, despite being a mutant and the growing resentment for them. He figures it's best to work for the government then be hunted by them.
