Biography[]
Espinoza was the capo of a cartel dedicated operating from the jungles in South America. He was connected to arms trafficking, amongst other crimes.
Local authorities and the central government, lacking the resources to capture Espinoza and dismantle the cartel, had to wait until a black ops mission was authorized in order to arrest him. A three-man team led by experienced commando Emil Blonsky was sent to capture Espinoza, under explicit orders of ensuring he was taken alive.
Espinoza showed up to interrogate Bruce Banner, who was apprehended while accompanying Miguel, the son of one of his men who got lost, back to the compound. Espinoza accused Banner of being an American spy, either working for the CIA, DEA or their local government, as no American wandered the jungles without being a spy.
Espinoza's men started to beat up Banner for information, angering him enough to transform into Hulk despite Banner's warnings. Hulk attacked the guards and the compound, destroying it while pursuing Espinoza and his reinforcements, who returned to the complex shooting, even at Blonsky's team, under a belief that an army was attacking the compound.
By the time Blonsky arrived in the compound, Espinoza was already defeated and unconscious, along with his men. He was arrested by Blonsky's team.[1]
