History: (Uncanny X-Men#268 (fb))- In 1941, Geoffrey Sydenham was stationed at the American consulate in Madripoor when the Hand and Baron Strucker attempted to obtain Natasha Romanoff, intending to transform her into their master assassin. The young girl was protected by Captain America and Ivan Petrovitch, who brought her to the consulate hoping she would be safe, but they discovered that Sydenham had made an alliance with Strucker and the Hand, and delivered the three of them over, saying he would inform the home office that they had been killed in action.

When Captain America accused Sydenham of being a traitor, Sydenham ignored this, claiming he was a patriot wanting to aid the Nazis in eradicating the Russians, who he believed to be the true threat to America. Just as the Hand were about to make Natasha their servant, the Canadian adventurer Logan burst onto the scene and set Captain America and Petrovitch free. Sydenham may have been slain in the resulting battle.
