- "Admittedly it's not quite as precise as my original nano mask, but regardless, I think you're going to find it extremely useful for any on the go S.H.I.E.L.D. or HYDRA operations."
- ―Selwyn to Grant Ward[src]

Biography

Selwyn created the Photostatic Veil that was used by both S.H.I.E.L.D. agents[1] and HYDRA operatives.[2]
Kidnapping
Selwyn is kidnapped
Selwyn went to a restaurant to have dinner. When Rhonda brought him his check, he prepared to leave. The moment he stood up from his table, a couple then jumped up with handguns and told no one to move. The man shot the security camera as the woman held Selwyn at gunpoint. Selwyn offered her his wallet with money inside but she refused. Removing her sunglasses, the woman told Selwyn that she wanted him to fix her scarred face.[3]
Fixing the Mask
Agent 33 tests the Photostatic Veil on Selwyn
At the hotel room where Agent 33 and Grant Ward were staying, Selwyn implanted a contact lense in her eye and a microchip on the skin of Agent 33. The lens was a facial scanning program. He stabilized the sound of the Photostatic Veil so it no longer sounded computerized. Selwyn had Agent 33 test his repairs, but when Ward asked him about its removal, he said that he could not remove the nano-mask from her face. Selwyn told Agent 33 that now she could be anyone was wanted to be for S.H.I.E.L.D. or HYDRA.[3]
Death
- "It was important he not talk."
- ―Grant Ward to Agent 33[src]
Agent 33 used the Photostatic Veil to transform her face to those of different models she saw in a magazine. When Grant Ward entered the room, dressed to go somewhere, Agent 33 asked him if he should be leaving so soon. He paused, then had her understand that he killed the doctor for their own sake.[3]
