Hunting Jason Wilkes
"This was a professional hit." "Clearly we've kicked a very formidable hornet's nest."

- Daniel Sousa and Peggy Carter

The Council of Nine decided to scrub their project involving Zero Matter because Calvin Chadwick brought press attention to Isodyne Energy with his affair with Jane Scott whose frozen body was found in Echo Park; Rufus Hunt was sent to steal the body of Jane Scott, killing two Strategic Scientific Reserve agents in the process. The Council then ordered him to eliminate the last loose end: Jason Wilkes. Hunt watched as Wilkes stole a film reel from Isodyne Energy Headquarters that showed the origin of the anomalous black substance.

Hunt then followed Wilkes to the Dunbar Hotel and watched him and Peggy Carter dance. Hunt, with other men, finally caught up to Wilkes and Carter at the Griffith Observatory; after flattening their car's tires, he ordered his men to kill anything that moved. They fired their guns at the two, but they escaped the building. As she hot-wired a car, Carter handed a gun to Wilkes to stop the attack, but he quickly ran out of bullets. Hunt watched as they drove away. Returning to Isodyne Energy Headquarters, Hunt fought Carter again, but a massive black-colored explosion stopped the battle.

Assaulting Peggy Carter
"Give me security, I need Warshauer in the chamber now, I think we might have a breach... I don't know, just something ain't right... Just get him down here!"

- Rufus Hunt

Inside the Arena Club, Hunt felt that something was not right in the meeting room where the Council of Nine had just left. Hunt inspected the room, then called an associate to give him backup.

Hunt was later called by Calvin Chadwick to have Peggy Carter killed, so he went to Howard Stark's Estate to attack her while she was training on the punching bag in the garden. Donning a mask, Hunt sneaked up on her and wrapped a rope around her throat to strangle her, but, after a few blows, she was able to maneuver to the swimming pool to be released when they fell in. When they got out the pool Hunt knocked down Carter and prepared to finish her off with a knife, but Edwin Jarvis attacked him; the two struggled and when he got thrown down he drew his firearm and tried to shoot him. However his gun was wet from the pool and Carter shot at him, injuring his hand and causing him to flee.

Capture and Interrogation

Bugged
Hunt ran to the residence of Calvin Chadwick and told Whitney Frost that he needed a drink. By the time Chadwick arrived, Hunt was complaining about the quality of the alcohol in his drink. He told the married couple that Peggy Carter had abducted him; while Chadwick threatened to have Carter fired and deported, Frost asked Hunt what he told Carter. Chadwick began berating Hunt for revealing the existence of the Council of Nine and told Hunt that he would have to answer to them for his actions.

Absorbed
As Whitney Frost closed the curtains behind him, Hunt told Calvin Chadwick that he was going to protect him from the wrath of the Council of Nine or he would reveal that Frost and Chadwick were operating without their knowledge. Chadwick was anger, but acquiesced to Hunt's threat. Frost, on the other hand, told Chadwick that Hunt had just made a mistake and caressed his face. Suddenly, she grabbed Hunt by the throat; she then changed him into Zero Matter and absorbed him.
