"He discovered that there were universes stacked on top of his own..."
The subject of this article comes from an alternate universe connecting to the main timeline of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This universe is designated by the Marvel Cinematic Universe Wiki as the "Framework".

"I mean, that's how Hydra does it, right? You and Mr. Coulson, I mean, y'all lie to us every day. You know, th.. that Hydra isn't a bunch of Nazis, and... and that you don't steal kids out of school?"
―Burnell to Jemma Simmons[src]

Burnell was a student of Phil Coulson at Alexander Pierce High School who opposed Hydra's control over their society and, as a result, was taken to the Hydra Enlightenment Cultivation Center. There he was rescued by Coulson and Patriot, who sacrificed his own life to save Burnell and all of the other children from harm.

Hating HYDRA[]

Phil Coulson's Student[]

"Sir, isn't it true that Hydra came from Nazis?"
"That's not true. Never say that."
"Okay, but weren't they the Nazis' science division?"
―Burnell and Phil Coulson[src]

During one of Phil Coulson's lessons about Hydra, Burnell points out that Hydra had come from Nazis. Coulson hurries to deny and warned Burnell to never say that again. Coulson explained that Hydra originated centuries ago, therefore they could not be Nazis, so it was just propaganda. Coulson then tried to comfort Burnell by telling him he did good for asking, so they could know what was true and what was innuendo. Suddenly an agent entered the class and ask Chris Adler to come with him for some tests.

Later that day, Burnell saw a Jemma Simmons talking with Coulson. Burnell decided to spray HYDRA LIES on her car. Simmons came and stopped Burnell, and for the sake of his point he said he had not done it. Simmons said he held the can, so Burnell explained that Hydra was lying just as he did. Simmons asked him if he thought she was Hydra, and Burnell threatened that he would join the Resistance and come for all of them. Simmons got mad and said that he was not even real and it was just a virtual world, but then she apologized and told him the Coulson she knew used to fight Hydra. Burnell felt sorry for what he did and let Simmons borrow his car. Before she left, Burnell asked her if Hydra were Nazis and Simmons replied that every last one of them was and he should not let anyone forget that.[1]

Burnell and the other prisoners are rescued

"Wait, don't shoot! Th-they need help up there!"
―Burnell to Melinda May[src]

For his opinions against Hydra, Burnell was taken by them to the Isolation Building at Hydra Enlightenment Cultivation Center. There, he and some other children were forced to undergo the Faustus method. However, Phil Coulson and Resistance member Antoine Triplett freed Burnell and other children. As the building was collapsing due to a missile shot by Hydra, Burnell hurried to get out. He encountered Melinda May on his way holding a rifle at him, so Burnell informed her that the others needed help, and he walked away.[3]

Deletion[]

Like everything else in the Framework, Burnell was deleted when Aida decided to wipe out the Framework and recreate its content in the real world.[2]
