Current Events
Batroc’s Brigade crash a weapons expo and come into conflict with Iron Man and Captain America over the Harvester Protocol which is a virus that can render technology useless. Batroc protects his employer Kashmir Vennema as she activates the Harvester device and it corrupts Iron Man’s armor, disables Captain America’s light shield and takes control of the Pym-Stark Myriad Engine and its production of hornet drones. Machete stands over Stark waiting to deliver a killing blow as he lay exposed because he was forced to shut down his armor.
Creation
Machete was created by Captain America & Iron Man writer Cullen Bunn and artist Barry Kitson.
