(Thunderbolts I#60 (fb) - BTS) - Amie Zamborano made a name for herself as Makeshift, a mercenary known for being a mechanical wizard specialized in weaponry.
(Thunderbolts I#62 (fb) - BTS) - After Earth's heroes left Counter-Earth Franklin, the planet suffered a series of natural disasters that led to global catastrophes. The problems didn't end even after Doctor Doom shifted the world from its pocket dimension to Earth-616's solar system. Throughout the ongoing crises, Germany remained one of the few nations that managed to maintain a thriving economy. As a result, the European country quickly rose to power and prominence.
(Thunderbolts I#62 (fb) - BTS) - Hoping to capitalize on Germany's newfound importance, the World Party took center stage, now claiming to be a political alliance with tentative ties to, among others, France and the United States. Baron Heinrich Zemo was tasked to head up an elite team of super powered operatives.
(Thunderbolts I#60 (fb) - BTS) - Zemo founded the Thunderbolts: a group of international heroes operating out of Germany, but fighting for all of Earth. With himself as leader, he recruited Makeshift and her fellow American mercenaries Solarr and Phantom Eagle. France's heroine Chain Lightning and Heinrich's son Helmut rounded out the team.

(fb) - BTS) - The Thunderbolts operated together for at least eight
months. Zemo assured the allegiance of Makeshift and the others by
offering them a comfortable, luxury filled lifestyle.(Thunderbolts I#62 (fb) - BTS) - Makeshift and the other Thunderbolts were more than willing to help Baron Zemo spearhead a World Party approved plan to give Germany world dominance. The country planned to launch a satellite they claimed would help restore the global communications network. In reality, the satellite was designed to only allow Germany access, which would give nation unprecedented control over the world economy.
(Thunderbolts I#61 (fb) ) - The Thunderbolts utilized their individual powers and expertise to help construct the rocket. Makeshift's engineering skills proved invaluable.
(Thunderbolts I#60 (fb) - BTS) - Makeshift joined Zemo and the others on a mission to the former Soviet Union where they had to locate and secure a prototype fuel injector assembly for the rocket.
(Thunderbolts I#59) - While in Russia, they came across the unconscious bodies of the Thunderbolts who had just been transported to Counter-Earth following their fight against Graviton.
(Thunderbolts I#60) - Makeshift stood back, allowing the paranoid Zemo to question the newcomers who he believed to be mercenaries sent to thwart their mission. The Fixer tried to buy time for his teammates to recover, using the weapons in his Tech-Pac to keep the Thunderbolts at bay. Moonstone managed to defuse the situation by claiming they were merely hired hands sent by the World Party to check if the Thunderbolts were doing their duty. Satisfied with this explanation, Zemo allowed them to leave.
(Thunderbolts I#60 - BTS) - Zemo's Thunderbolts retrieved the fuel injector and returned to Germany. When Earth's Thunderbolts learned of Germany's upcoming launch, they decided to hijack the rocket and use it to leave Counter-Earth.
(Thunderbolts I#61) -
Zemo's Thunderbolts continued to work on the rocket after returning from
the Soviet Union. Solarr and Makeshift were making comments on the true
nature of the rocket mission within earshot of the public, which led to
them getting chewed out by Iron Cross. Makeshift wasn't impressed with
Iron Cross' overzealous attitude. (Thunderbolts I#62 (fb) - BTS) - Earth's Thunderbolts made it from Russia to Germany hours before the rocket launch.
(Thunderbolts I#62 - BTS) - Moonstone, Jolt and MACH-3, using fake ids created by Fixer, infiltrated the base while Atlas tunneled a way through the ground to reach the launch platform. However, 46 minutes before the launch, the Fixer abandoned his allies to carry out a mission for Helmut Zemo whose digitized essence was stored inside his Tech-Pac. Zemo needed a new body and threatened to shut down the Tech-Pac's life-preserving systems if Ebersol didn't find him one.
(Thunderbolts I#62) - After entering their facility, Fixer first took down Makeshift with an electrical blast from a flying drone. He briefly teased the notoriously racist Zemo that Zamborano might make a great host body, but the baron forced him to carry out the original plan. After Fixer used knock-out gas to take care of the other T-bolts, he began transferring Zemo's essence from his Tech-Pac to his new host Iron Cross. The transfer was completed seconds after the recovered Makeshift fired energy blasts at him. Fixer made a run for it, with Makeshift, Phantom Eagle and Chain Lightning in hot pursuit. He was saved by his teammates who came to his rescue, with MACH-3 engaging Makeshift and easily defeating her in aerial combat.
(Thunderbolts I#62 - BTS) - The rocket launch went ahead as scheduled, but Earth's heroes made sure it exploded before it could deliver its payload. MACH-3 and Fixer then put out a worldwide broadcast, revealing Zemo and Germany's deception. Makeshift and the surviving members of Zemo's Thunderbolts were presumably incarcerated (see comments).
