Biography

Edwin Cord

He was noted to had grown up in Colorado. (Thunderbolts v1 #23) By adulthood, he came to be a wealthy businessman and the CEO of the Cord Conglomerate where he acquired many ties to the government and a high security clearance. (Daredevil v1 #167) At some point, he was noted to had met Tony Stark at a Lion Club dinner. (Iron Man v1 #145) One of his long-time employees was Aaron Soames who had worked as a file clerk for 35 years. (Daredevil v1 #167)

Later on, Aaron Soames lost his job due to a computer being brought in to replace him. Soames had tried to claim his pension but there was no record of him in the system. This led to him going to Cord personally but Edwin simply shrugged the matter off and let Aaron go without a penny. Soames would later sneak into his place of work where he decided to steal the Cord Conglomerate's prototype tech-armor the Mobile Armored Utility Laser Emitter, Revised (Mauler) which had been a project in development for the United States government. Months later, Cord hosted a pool party and invited many, including heiress Heather Glenn and her boyfriend Matt Murdock. At the party, Cord tried offering Matt a position in Cord Conglomerate, one that he hinted included perks the IRS did not need to know about. Sylvia told Edwin that Angela had 'eaten her inner tube' but then Soames attacked, wearing the Mauler armor and firing directly at Cord. Cord's bodyguards, including Sammy and Arlo, intervened but were easily defeated before the hero Daredevil showed up to fight Mauler. The police, led by Lt. Nick Manolis, and Soames fled. Manolis tried questioning Cord but he refused to answer anything due to his security clearance. Later, Cord showed up at his office, where his security detail, including Garfield, checked him in. Inside, Cord found Daredevil, who demanded answers about Mauler's identity and why he was after Cord, and Cord told him a half-truth, revealing Soames identity and stating he was a disgruntled former employee and a criminal. Daredevil promised to be back if Cord was lying. That evening, Daredevil stopped Soames from killing Cord yet again, though Soames did destroy all of Cord's cards and identification, wanting him to know what it felt like to not exist. Earl and other employees barged in with an experimental weapon, the Vibro-Mace, and killed Soames with it. Cord told Daredevil that he could not report the armor to the police as it had been a government contract and Daredevil responded by punching Cord. (Daredevil v1 #167)
