Biography
Jonathan Garrett
Garrett worked for the CIA and went through special covert training. (Secret Warriors v1 #9)
John was contacted by the Brotherhood of the Shield and was brought to the Immortal City to meet with Leonardo da Vinci in Pieta. Along with other intelligence agents from around the globe—Jake Fury, Magadan, Shoji Soma, Cornelius van Lunt, Nick Fury, Baron Strucker, Dum Dum Dugan, Thomas Davidson, the Kraken, and Orion—they formed the Great Wheel. Each member was assigned a codename from the zodiac with John taking the code name Aquarius. Leonardo da Vinci was the leader as Aries, sent the rest of the Wheel on three key retrieval missions, and promised them resources that would be of great value to their own separate agendas. Leonardo sent Dassaiev, Garrett, Soma and Whitehall on a mission to Giza, Egypt to acquire a power source from a Brood vessel after destroying the alien Brood still inside. Garrett approved of using the Brood power source to run the rejuvenation chambers found by another team. He was present when the chambers were set up in Pieta and stolen by the Russians Uvarov, Dassaiev and their soldiers where they nearly murdered Garrett. The Great Wheel later fell apart due to the betrayal of Orion and Magadan of Leviathan. (Secret Warriors v1 #25)
Garrett served three months at Dannemora for assault. Garrett served two years at Ryker's Island prison for grand larceny. Garrett had a history of resisting arrest. Garrett spent six months on a Kentucky work farm for attacking a police officer. Garrett committed several other crimes, including battery, four counts of statutory rape, and sixty-five counts of being drunk and disorderly. At some point, Garrett somehow became an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., and his past records mysteriously vanished. Garrett was serving in Libya alongside agent Chastity McBryde, impressing her with his combat skills. However, when he got frisky with her, she punched him in the nose. (Elektra: Assassin v1 #6)
Agent Garrett served in Libya alongside agent Chastity McBryde, impressing her with his combat skills. But when he made advances, she punched him in the nose. Chastity discovered that there were no records on Garrett. When she brought this to the attention of ExTechOp, she not only received no reply, but was also swiftly transferred to a minor police action in Venezuela. She filed a complaint to Nick Fury which never arrived. Chastity continued her investigation, using S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Central Command Computer Facility and cross-referencing law enforcement records from seven states. (Elektra: Assassin v1 #6)
Garrett was rebuilt as a cyborg, with a six inch removable portion on the top of his skull, in which could be placed a recorder, and a cybernetic right hand. (Elektra: Assassin v1 #2) Approximately three years after his Libyan mission alongside Chastity, Garrett and his partner were sent to San Concepcion as part of Operation: Scrambled Eggs, to investigate the assassination of presidente Carlos Huevos. (Elektra: Assassin v1 #3)
Hours later, as Elektra raided S.H.I.E.L.D.'s information bank, she was discovered and captured by a squadron of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. Garrett, now completely rebuilt and active, filed his report on Elektra, pretending not to know her identity and claiming that she was a Russian agent. His story was not believed and he was reprimanded by his superior, Dr. Beaker. That night, Elektra sunk her psychic claws into Garrett's mind, causing him to sneak into the chamber where she was being held inert. He attempted to break free from her control and kill her, but she forced him to shut down the power in the device holding her. Elektra then escaped, leaving Garrett behind to face the music. He then filed a false report to cover up his involvement. Mostly back in his own mind at this point, Garrett recalled that Elektra would be going after ambassador Reich. Elektra knew that Garrett intended to stop her, and she sent him on a wild goose chase while she successfully accomplished her mission. However, Reich had already transferred the Beast into Ken Wind, a strong candidate for president of the USA. Later, Garrett prepared to return to the U.S., Elektra stole his plane ticket and framed him so that anxious airport security would discover a bag of drugs during a body cavity search.
