- "The man says you need to come to the Church."
"What man?"
"The... Iron Man." - ―Costel and Wanda Maximoff[src]
Costel is a child who lived in Sokovia with his older sister, Zrinka. He was trapped during Ultron's final attack on its capital city, Novi Grad, but Hawkeye and Quicksilver combined to save his life.
Biography[]
Costel was at the marketplace with his sister, Zrinka, when he saw the Iron Legion descending on Novi Grad to protect the Sokovians from HYDRA's assault on the city during the Avengers' battle in the mountains above. As Costel watched the citizens protest and throw rocks at the robots, Zrinka ran to and held him back from the chaos.[1]
Several days later, Costel and Zrinka returned to the marketplace, where he was gifted a football by Pietro Maximoff. Costel later wandered into the abandoned Novi Grad Church and met a metallic figure who asked to speak with the Maximoff twins. He then returned to his sister's side and told Pietro and Wanda Maximoff that the man in the church wished to see them.[2]
Later, Costel and Zrinka were trapped in Novi Grad as Ultron sought to elevate and drop the city in his attempt to exterminate humanity. As the pair tried to get to safety, they came upon a rampaging Hulk and took shelter with some Sokovians in a store. During the battle, Costel and Zrinka witnessed S.H.I.E.L.D. arrive to help the Avengers and were herded to the Lifeboats.
During the scuffle however, Costel was separated from his sister and became trapped by debris. Hawkeye heard Zrinka's cries for Costel and pulled him from the rubble. Ultron, firing bullets from the Quinjet, approached their position and the boy was covered by the archer to shield him from the assault. When Hawkeye unrolled from his protective ball, he and Costel learned that Quicksilver had moved them away from the bullets, quickly dying from the large number of gunshot wounds he sustained due to this selfless act, much to their shock. Costel then reunited with Zrinka aboard a Lifeboat as they were evacuated from the city.[1]
