Biography
In 1945, Daniel Whitehall was a General in HYDRA. He was also commander of one of the last known HYDRA bases. Peggy Carter led a team including Dum Dum Dugan and Jim Morita into that base, arrested Whitehall, and confiscated the Obelisk, an alien artifact in Whitehall's possession.

In 2014, Whitehall, somehow still alive and retaining his youthful appearance, hired the Absorbing Man to reclaim the Obelisk from the United States Armed Forces.
