- "Hell of a machine, Kebo. Built for procession, speed, designed to handle flawlessly under any conditions. Carmine here bought it as a status symbol, to show off, never opened it up, denied it of it's true purpose."
- ―Grant Ward to Kebo[src]
Carmine previously worked for HYDRA under Baron Wolfgang von Strucker's leadership, but when the organization was taken over by Grant Ward, Carmine became a target.
Biography
Early Life
Carmine was an agent of HYDRA, who used his position there to gain money and respect over keeping to HYDRA's core values. His greed meant he purchased a brand new sports car not to drive but to have as a status symbol, never driving it as fast as it could go. Carmine was one of the few HYDRA agents who knew the location of Werner von Strucker, the son of HYDRA's leader, Baron Wolfgang von Strucker.[1]
Questioned by Grant Ward
- "Now it's your chance, to prove you still have a purpose, show me you're not dead weight. So tell me, where's the kid?"
- ―Grant Ward to Carmine[src]
Surrounded by Ward's HYDRA
When Baron Wolfgang von Strucker was killed by Ultron, one of the few remaining HYDRA cells was taken over by Grant Ward. In his quest to gain new members, Ward went to Carmine to gain the location of Werner von Strucker. Ward stole Carmine's sports car and drove into him, driving full speed through his warehouse base with Carmine clinging to the bonnet for dear life, all while debating the old HYDRA's greed with Kebo. Eventually Ward slammed on the brakes and sent Carmine flying before Ward's operatives surrounded him and demanded to know von Strucker's location. Due to being outnumbered, Carmine told Ward where to find von Strucker.[1]
