Chris Adler was a student at Alexander Pierce High School. During one of Phil Coulson's lessons, a HYDRA agent entered the class and asked Chris to follow him for a few tests. Before he left, Chris was told by Coulson to take his bag with him and left the class under the intrigued gaze of his classmates.[1]

Fortunately, he was spotted by his former teacher Phil Coulson during a S.H.I.E.L.D. operation. Coulson resolved to save him and the other children. When Melinda May ordered the building to be destroyed, Chris was trapped under falling debris, but was eventually saved by the Patriot, who cleared the rubble and enabled Chris to get away.[2]
