First Appearance: Yellow Claw I#1 (October, 1956)
Powers/Abilities: Jimmy Woo is a highly
trained hand-to-hand combatant, especially in martial arts. As an
extremely skilled espionage agent, Woo has been extensively trained in
investigative and interrogation tactics and he is especially skilled in
the use of firearms, both conventional and advanced such as S.H.I.E.L.D.
high-power firearms. He usually carries
a personal sidearm and a scale from the dragon Mr. Lao, which grants
him access to the Dragon's Corridor sub-dimension, through which he can
instantaneously travel almost anywhere. The scale also protects him
from the Corridor's inherent radiation. Jimmy Woo's body has also been
implanted with a transponder that allows his ally the Uranian to track
his location.
Jimmy is an accomplished pilot and travels using a 1950s-era Edsel automobile modified with Uranian technology to fly through the air. The automobile is equipped with a scale from the dragon Mr. Lao that allows it to open portals into and out of the Dragon's Corridor sub-dimension for instantaneously travel to other locations, not unlike the scale Jimmy also carries on his person. He is a skilled actor capable of successfully impersonating others when the need arises.
He
occasionally wears Kevlar armor when needed and has at least once been
known to wear retractable technology capable of (at least briefly)
covering his entire forearm with electrically-powered metal armor that
boosts his strength to superhuman levels sufficient enough to punch the
superhumanly strong Brawn.
As the head of the worldwide Atlas
Foundation, Jimmy Woo has access to numerous worldwide connections and
the Foundation's advanced technology including holographic projectors
to project his image and voice to almost any location and inert
isotopes capable of granting him limited resistance to ultrasonic
mental programming technology. He also has access to extraterrestrial
Uranian technology provided by his ally/agent, the Uranian.
During his time with the FBI,
Jimmy Woo had access to advanced gear including Panoramic Glasses that
gave him 360 degree vision and a miniature Vid-Receptor device that
played advanced video Vid-Com tapes. As a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, he had
access to advanced weaponry including S.H.I.E.L.D.-issue handguns and
experimental Spanflex armor designed by Tony Stark, and advanced
vehicles such as personal one-man hovercrafts that could project light
as a beacon. In 1958, Jimmy
Woo wore a wrist-mounted video communication device that allowed him to
communicate with his teammates in Department Zero and during his brief
tenure in the temporary Stark Seven group, Jimmy had access to Howard
Stark-created technology based on extraterrestrial image-inducing tech
that could render himself invisible to both the naked eye and cameras.
At one point in 1957, Jimmy was
temporarily shrank down in size.
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 170 lbs.
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Black (formerly graying at the temples)
History:
(Godzilla I#4 (fb) - BTS / Secret
War: From the Files of Nick Fury - BTS) - Jimmy Woo was born a
Chinese-American to parents Kim and Margaret Woo.
(All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A-Z
I#12 - Jimmy Woo entry - BTS) - Jimmy's given Chinese name was Woo Yen
Jet, meaning "the People's Leader."
(Secret War: From the Files of Nick Fury - BTS) - However, having been born in Cheverly, Maryland, Jimmy was an American citizen.
(Agents of Atlas I#6 (fb)) - Master Plan Chu, leader
of the enigmatic Atlas Foundation and heir to the Mongol Empire, chose
the newborn Jimmy Woo as his heir to the Khan legacy but Jimmy's
parents
wanted no involvement with Plan or the Atlas Foundation and they
permanently fled to America to escape Plan. At a young age, Jimmy was
encouraged by his parents to pursue law enforcement as a career.
(Yellow Claw I#1 (fb) - BTS) - As a child, young Jimmy Woo occasionally
heard his parents speak of the legendary Yellow Claw but he didn't
believe the Claw actually existed.
(Marvel's Voices: Identity I#1 / 3 (fb) - BTS) -
While still a child, Jimmy befriended May Takeuchi and expressed his
desire to become a G-Man.
(Secret War: From the Files of Nick Fury - BTS) - Jimmy eventually grew up to join the FBI academy, quickly moving to the top of his class.
(Totally Awesome Hulk I#15 (fb) - BTS) - Upon
learning that Jimmy was pursuing a career in espionage, his parents
hated his specialization, preferring instead for Jimmy to go into
medicine.
(Agents of Atlas I#6 (fb)) - As Jimmy excelled in his
FBI training, Master Plan realized Jimmy's successes in US government
might someday prove beneficial to the Atlas Foundation and decided to
play the role of Jimmy's foil in an effort to progress Jimmy's legend
by providing an
Asian menace that only Jimmy could defeat. Assuming the title of the
Golden Claw per his legendary nickname, Plan became that menace, also
called the Yellow Claw during the US' anti-Communist era of the 1950s.
(Yellow Claw I#1 (fb) - BTS / All-New Official
Handbook of the Marvel Universe A-Z I#12 - Jimmy Woo entry - BTS) -
Jimmy fully graduated and officially joined the FBI, beginning his
career in espionage.
(Yellow Claw I#1) - Jimmy Woo was called to
Washington, DC in October 1956 to meet with his superior, who informed
Jimmy that the
Communist Chinese high command had sent a special agent to wreck the US
defense effort. When the superior mentioned that they knew little about
the agent other than he was some sort of legendary figure called the
Yellow Claw, a surprised Jimmy remarked that his parents had spoken of
the Claw during Jimmy's childhood but he never believed the Claw
existed. His superior confirmed the Yellow Claw's existence somewhere
in San Francisco and ordered Jimmy to track down the Yellow Claw.
Promising to do his best, Jimmy assured his chief that he would be on
the next plane to the west coast, unaware that the Yellow Claw and his
agent Fritz von Voltzmann were watching the events via the Claw's
crystal ball from the Yellow Claw's San Francisco curio shop
headquarters.
(Yellow Claw I#1 / 3) - Upon
arrival in San Francisco, Jimmy Woo moved through the streets meeting
with old friends whom he hoped could lead him to the Yellow Claw. That
night, he met with a man named Ling-Tu and asked him about the Yellow
Claw being in San Francisco's Chinatown area but Ling-Tu admitted he
had not heard anything about the Claw being there, at which point Jimmy
asked that Ling-Tu inform him if he did hear anything. He subsequently
met with a man named Lang-Su and questioned him about the Yellow Claw
as well and while Lang-Su also admitted he had not heard anything about
the Claw, he did find it strange that another, Ming-How, had recently
sold his curio shop and disappeared. Suspecting there could be a
connection between Ming-How's curio shop sale and the Yellow Claw,
Jimmy mentioned he would check into Lang-Su's claims. A short time
later, Jimmy Woo visited Ming-How's old curio shop and when Fritz von
Voltzmann reported to the Yellow Claw that someone was in the front of
their curio shop, the Yellow Claw confirmed the visitor as FBI agent
Jimmy Woo and ordered his grand-niece Suwan to get rid of the agent.
When Suwan approached Jimmy, Jimmy asked about Ming-How and Suwan
explained how Ming-How used to own the shop until her grand-uncle
purchased it. Claiming his business was with Ming-How, Jimmy departed
the shop but he waited outside, suspicious of Suwan's grand-uncle's
purchase of Ming-How's shop.
Noting to himself how a true curio
dealer would never let his antiques become dusty, Jimmy minutes later
witnessed escaped criminal Rocky Miller leave the curio shop and,
suspicious that he had not seen the man inside the shop nor enter
afterwards, Jimmy decided to follow Miller. Trailing Miller to the
Amalgamated Chemical Company, Jimmy witnessed Miller waiting and soon
recognized Secret Service agent Pierson approaching. When Miller
attacked Pierson in an attempt to acquire Pierson's briefcase, Jimmy
deduced that Pierson was carrying classified government information and
he pulled a gun on Miller. Before Jimmy could apprehend Miller,
however, Fritz von Voltzmann clubbed Jimmy over the head, knocking him
unconscious. Jimmy subsequently regained consciousness and found
himself tied to a chair in an old cellar surrounded by Miller and von
Voltzmann. When von Voltzmann ordered Miller to take the briefcase to
the Yellow Claw, Jimmy appealed to Miller, informing him that the
Yellow Claw was working with Communist China to cripple America's
defenses. Swayed by Jimmy's words, Miller fought back against von
Voltzmann and was shot as Fritz escaped. With his dying strength,
Miller freed Jimmy and weakly insisted he was no traitor before
collapsing, dead. Jimmy thanked Miller for his assistance and noted
that perhaps the good Miller had done that night might erase some of
the awful things he had done as a criminal.
(Yellow Claw I#1 / 5) - Not long after, Jimmy led an FBI raid on the Yellow Claw's curio shop, only to find it empty save for Suwan, who claimed she had no idea where the Yellow Claw had gone. Believing her, Jimmy asked her name and Suwan properly introduced herself, revealing how she was forced to assist the Yellow Claw in his world domination efforts despite wanting no part of it. Remarking that the Claw was mad, Jimmy asked why Suwan did not simply stop aiding the Claw and Suwan revealed the Yellow Claw's hypnotic powers and how the Claw used them to ensure her compliance. Jimmy then suggested Suwan stay at the curio shop and asked that she inform him if the Yellow Claw contacted her, jokingly suggesting she clean the criminally dusty antiques as he left the shop. A short time later, Jimmy's fellow FBI agent Phil Kane asked if Jimmy had fallen for Suwan's so-called sob story and, admitting that he had not completely fallen for it, Jimmy decided to double back to the curio shop to keep an eye on Suwan just in case. From a spot across the street, Jimmy subsequently witnessed a small man enter the shop and Suwan lock up and leave moments later. Suspecting that the man had delivered a message from the Yellow Claw, Jimmy Woo followed the unknowing Suwan to the Yellow Claw's new headquarters.
Bursting through the wooden door, Jimmy ordered the Yellow Claw to surrender at gunpoint but Fritz von Voltzmann got the drop on Jimmy from behind and Jimmy soon found himself again tied to a chair. The Claw ordered Fritz to kill Jimmy but Suwan suggested instead that the Claw use Jimmy as a bartering tool to gain the government info he had sought. The Claw agreed then moved the captive Jimmy and his entire base of operations to a new waterfront headquarters while Suwan was out contacting the FBI to arrange the exchange. Suwan later returned to inform the Claw that the FBI had agreed to the exchange and the Claw ordered Fritz to place a hood over Jimmy's head to prevent him from leading the FBI to his new headquarters. Suwan volunteered herself for the job, however, and when she ventured into the room housing Jimmy, she freed him and swapped places with the agent. Later, Jimmy (in a robe since Suwan was wearing his suit) reported the situation to Phil Kane, who revealed that while Suwan had given them the address of the Yellow Claw's headquarters, the FBI had found the building empty. Jimmy explained how the Yellow Claw had moved to a new headquarters while Suwan was out and how Suwan had opted to help Jimmy by switching places with him. Phil commented on how they seemed to have an ally behind enemy lines and Jimmy agreed, noting that it would be curtains for Suwan if the Claw ever discovered her deceit.
(All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A-Z
I#12 - Jimmy Woo entry - BTS) - Jimmy Woo quickly became
the FBI's top man in combating the enigmatic Yellow Claw.
(Yellow Claw I#2 (fb) - BTS) - Following a series of
strange, surreal occurrences in various
cities over a period of months, Suwan sent a note to Jimmy Woo
informing him of the Yellow
Claw's usage of a group of mutants to cause chaos throughout the
country.
(Yellow Claw I#2) - Jimmy Woo
reported to his FBI chief about the Yellow Claw's usage of mutants to
create the chaos being reported around the country and the chief
ordered Jimmy to use his lead to break up the situation. Following
instructions in Suwan's note, Jimmy immediately flew to a remote area
of the Mojave Desert, where he was greeted by Suwan, who led him to the
Yellow Claw's most recent headquarters. As soon as Jimmy entered,
however, his gun was transformed into a pair of steel handcuffs by the
combined psychic might of the Yellow Claw's mutants. As the Claw
gloated to Jimmy about his plans involving the mutants, Suwan rang a
large gong, breaking the Claw's hypnotic control of the mutants, who
all teleported themselves from the scene, restoring Jimmy's gun in the
process. Immediately pointing his gun at the Claw, Jimmy was incensed
when the Yellow Claw took Suwan hostage to prevent Jimmy from shooting
and escaped behind a large steel wall. Jimmy rushed back outside the
base but arriving too late to prevent the Yellow Claw from escaping
with Suwan in a plane.
(Yellow Claw I#2 / 3) - During a tour of the San Francisco docks, Jimmy Woo and a fellow FBI agent noticed an old man, lady and their butler boarding the S.S. Aloha cruise ship. Noticing that the "old woman" seemed to have well-turned ankles for a woman of advanced age, Jimmy suspected the "old woman" was actually Suwan, with the "old man" being the Yellow Claw. Opting to investigate further, Jimmy met with the ship's captain and learned that they appeared to be Carter-Wilson and party that were staying in cabin 361. Assigning himself to the cabin disguised as a steward, Jimmy Woo discussed with the captain how to get into cabin 361, as the patrons inside were refusing to leave and claiming the "old woman" was ill. Jimmy's suspicions were true and the old man, woman and butler were actually a disguised Yellow Claw, Suwan and Fritz von Voltzmann, and when Jimmy attempted to gain entry as a steward by helpfully suggesting the ill "old woman" see the ship's doctor, the Yellow Claw revealed his ruse, fully aware that his steward was Jimmy Woo. Gloating that Woo was not dealing with his ordinary run of spies, the Yellow Claw announced his plans to acquire confidential papers from two American diplomats aboard the ship and Jimmy assured the Claw that the ship's captain would investigate when Jimmy didn't return. The Yellow Claw responded by holding Jimmy at gunpoint while Fritz von Voltzmann captured the two American diplomats and Voltzmann soon returned with the two captives as the Yellow Claw signaled a Communist submarine that had been secretly following the ship. Ordering Jimmy Woo to carry his sleeping niece Suwan, the Yellow Claw had Jimmy accompany von Voltzmann and himself to the main deck, where Jimmy pretended to stagger and fell into the ship's "abandon ship" alarm. A panicked crowd soon swarmed the main deck and during the scuffle, the Yellow Claw, halted in his attempt to acquire confidential papers by Jimmy Woo's interference, grabbed Suwan and escaped. Unable to intercept the Claw due to the crowd, Jimmy pointed out the Communist submarine near the ship to the captain.
(Yellow Claw I#2 / 4 (fb) - BTS) - Jimmy Woo received
a tip from Suwan about an attack by the
Yellow Claw on an experimental aircraft station and, together with his
chief, Jimmy halted the plot and exposed the miniature explosive
devices used by the Yellow Claw.
(Yellow Claw I#2 / 4) - As Jimmy
and the chief discussed the Yellow Claw following the plot against the
experimental aircraft station, the chief suggested Jimmy use Suwan to
trap the criminal mastermind. Reluctant to put Suwan in such a
position, Jimmy was ultimately convinced to do so by the chief and a
short time later, Jimmy phoned Suwan, thanking her for her earlier tip
and asking to see her again. Meeting Suwan within the hour at Ching's
Tea Room, Jimmy was quickly told by Suwan that she had to go and would
phone when they could see one another again. Hating to do so, Jimmy
followed Suwan as she left and witnessed her enter a secret elevator
shaft in the middle of the street. Jimmy then followed suit and entered
the hidden elevator himself, dispatching a guard at the lower level
when he arrived. Overhearing the Yellow Claw in another room, Jimmy Woo
busted his way inside and pointed a gun at the Claw, prepared to take
him into custody. Unfazed by Suwan's worries about his safety, the
Yellow Claw touched a hidden stud on his chair that summoned the
musclebound Hamud to attack Jimmy from behind. The Claw then had Hamud
place Jimmy within a glass sphere and Jimmy was ejected out into the
ocean via an underground stream. Emerging topside thirty minutes later,
Jimmy opened the sphere and vowed to settle the score with the Yellow
Claw as the villains escaped via plane.
(Yellow Claw I#2 / 6) - Jimmy Woo met with Colonel Carver of military intelligence to discuss claims from pilot Rocky Davis of an appearance of the giant legendary conqueror Temujai. Jimmy remained skeptical of the claims, unaware that the Yellow Claw was plotting to put a halt to Jimmy's potential snooping. Days later, Jimmy and Rocky Davis ventured in the Malay jungles via helicopter to investigate the claims of Temujai and they soon found themselves in the hand of the gigantic Temujai. Temujai calmly lowered the two to the ground and they attempted to escape despite Jimmy's suggestion they try to learn more about Temujai, only to find themselves facing the Yellow Claw. Proclaiming that the whole world would tremble once Temujai was ready to do his bidding, the Yellow Claw imprisoned Jimmy and Rocky in a cell with the captive Prof. Knute Lindstrom, who revealed that he had been captured and forced to produce mass quantities of a flesh-like material called Flexus to cover the Temujai robot. A short time later, Suwan freed Jimmy Woo and his allies and they secretly took control of the Temujai robot from the Claw's lackey, Kharion Krowe. Jimmy and his allies then used the Temujai robot to loudly denounce the Yellow Claw and as the Yellow Claw learned of Jimmy Woo's involvement in Temujai's failure, Jimmy invited Suwan to escape alongside him and his allies but Suwan opted to stay with her grand-uncle, instead leading Jimmy and his allies to safety. As Jimmy and his allies made their way down the trail to escape, the unstable Flexus disintegrated, publicly exposing Temujai as a robot.
(Yellow Claw I#3) - In February 1957, Jimmy Woo
was summoned to a top-secret agency's office to investigate a break in.
Looking over the room, Jimmy determined that it was impossible to break
into such a guarded room but one of the agents swore it had happened
and top secret papers had been rifled. Pulling out a magnifying glass
to look closer, Jimmy discovered tiny footprints and ordered the room
shut down and heavily guarded. Jimmy then returned to his FBI chief and
geared up for a mission in which he planned to have himself shrunk down
to tiny size to investigate further. Recalling the tiny footprints,
Jimmy suspected a tiny-size criminal was still locked in the top secret
agency's office and he had himself shrank in size using the abducted
Professor Ford's converter machine. That night, the tiny Jimmy Woo
ventured into the top secret office, where he was ambushed by a group
of small soldiers serving the Yellow Claw. Jimmy managed to fight his
way through the soldiers and soon apprehended them, forcing them at
gunpoint to venture back out through Ford's converter machine,
restoring them and Jimmy himself to normal size. Reporting back to his
chief that he had also discovered the top secret papers the soldiers
had stolen, Jimmy informed the chief that the entire operation had the
earmarks of the Yellow Claw's handiwork and the chief expressed hope
that the captured soldiers would spill where the Yellow Claw was hiding
out.
(Yellow Claw I#3 / 3) - Not long after, Jimmy
was ordered to observe a missile test and while he was at first
confused as to why he had been ordered there, he watched a missile test
during which the missile was destroyed in midair by a mysterious UFO. A
surprised Jimmy asked the colonel if they had tried shooting the UFO
down and the colonel informed Jimmy that the UFO moved faster than
their fastest jets and that they were curious why the UFO seemed to be
stopping their efforts but the efforts of Communist agents. Wondering
the same thing, a suspicious Jimmy Woo next visited a US government
laboratory equipped with a seismographic monitor and he was present
when the seismograph registered a large disturbance along the surface
of the Earth in the South Pacific. Rushing to the area in a plane,
Jimmy Woo and his pilot arrived in the South Pacific ten hours later
and began flying around the islands to investigate what could have
caused the seismographic disturbance. When the plane loomed near the
alien Ufo the Lightning Man, Ufo downed the plane with a bolt of cosmic
lightning, forcing Jimmy and the pilot to parachute to the surface.
Emerging from the plane's pressurized capsule, Jimmy and the pilot came
face-to-face with Ufo, whom Jimmy deduced had been attacking the
missile tests. Before Ufo could attack Jimmy and the pilot, however,
the Yellow Claw's niece Suwan intervened and informed Ufo that he had
been lied to by the Yellow Claw about the Americans being war-mongering
savages. To prove her point, Suwan led Ufo, Jimmy and the pilot to the
Yellow Claw's hideaway and Ufo, angry at being lied to, used his cosmic
powers to transport Suwan, the Yellow Claw, Jimmy and the pilot from
the scene. Awaking along US Highway 107, the pilot asked Jimmy how they
got there, admitting he could not recall what had happened, and the
equally-amnesiac Jimmy Woo remarked that the main thing they needed to
do was get a ride back to Washington.
(Yellow Claw I#3 / 4 (fb) - BTS) - Following an
anonymous phone call tip that was suspected to be
from the Yellow Claw's confidant Fritz von Voltzmann, Jimmy Woo led an
operation that successfully located the Yellow Claw's warehouse hideout.
(Yellow Claw I#3 /4) - After the Yellow Claw was seemingly brought to justice, Jimmy Woo was swarmed with news reporters, whom he informed he would update with further information once the Yellow Claw had been fully questioned. Disengaging from the media, Jimmy ventured to the room housing the completely silent and stoic Yellow Claw, noting his surprise that the Claw would not be eager to go after Fritz von Voltzmann for his supposedly traitorous actions. Suspicious at how silent the Claw was being, Jimmy decided to return to the warehouse where the Yellow Claw had been apprehended to investigate further. While there, Jimmy uncovered paperwork concerning Kleissen's theory of robotics and unintentionally activated a security device that unleashed an out of control robot on Jimmy. Suwan suddenly appeared and managed to warn Jimmy just in time for him to dodge the clumsy robot's tackle. After seeing the robot in action, Jimmy deduced more of the robotics theory was in play and Suwan agreed to tell Jimmy all he needed to know but Jimmy was attacked from behind by Fritz von Voltzmann. Regaining consciousness in an empty room, Jimmy rushed to a phone to call his FBI chief, whom he asked to x-ray the captured Yellow Claw and drop the Claw over a large desert. Returning to FBI headquarters after the Claw was dropped over a desert, Jimmy Woo was informed by the chief when the Yellow Claw exploded over the desert. Reviewing the x-rays of the Yellow Claw, Jimmy informed the chief that the "Yellow Claw" had been a robotic bomb the entire time that had allowed itself to be taken into custody. Jimmy then showed the chief the x-rays that proved the Yellow Claw they had captured had been nothing more than a walking bomb meant as a Trojan horse tactic by the real Yellow Claw.
(Yellow Claw I#3 /6) - In
Washington, Jimmy Woo received a report of an attack in Central City in
which a cloud of sleeping gas was projected over the city. When Jimmy's
chief mentioned only one man who could have engineered such an attack,
Jimmy donned his jacket to track down the Yellow Claw. Ultimately
tracking the Claw to his newest headquarters, Jimmy confronted the
criminal mastermind at gunpoint. Moments after he punched out Fritz von
Voltzmann, however, the Yellow Claw sprayed Jimmy with large doses of
the sleeping gas he had developed, causing Jimmy to fall asleep while
the Yellow Claw, Suwan and Fritz von Voltzmann made their escape.
(Yellow Claw I#4) - Jimmy Woo
arranged for Suwan to be brought in for questioning in April 1957 but a
worried Suwan
expressed anxiety that she would be the cause of her uncle's hurting.
Eventually, the Yellow Claw sent the extradimensional Living Shadows to
retrieve Suwan and when the terrified Suwan called Jimmy for help,
Jimmy allowed himself and Suwan to be enveloped by the Living Shadows.
Riding along with the Living Shadows back to the Yellow Claw's hideout,
Jimmy emerged from the Shadows to confront the Claw at gunpoint. When
the Living Shadows begged to be returned to their own dimension, an
angry Yellow Claw activated his machine that returned the Shadows home
in a blinding flash of light during which the Claw escaped and Jimmy
was left wondering where they had went.
(Yellow Claw I#4 / 3) - Following a large invasion of mutated Screemie birds, Jimmy Woo was called into a Washington scientist's office, where he was informed that the Screemies appeared intelligent. Hoping to communicate with the Screemies to call off their attacks on American crops, Jimmy worked with the scientist to communicate with the Screemies, soon learning of the Screemies' association with the Yellow Claw. Once the Screemies had been trained to farm and raise their own food, Jimmy Woo arranged a settlement for the Screemies on an island off the coast of New Guinea that the Yellow Claw was using as a base, feeling as if the settlement was a sort of poetic justice. When the Yellow Claw was forced to flee the island, Jimmy was congratulated on a successful scheme.
(Yellow Claw I#4 / 4) - Working with the mentalist Sleepy Eyes, Jimmy Woo arranged a trap for the Yellow Claw in which Sleepy Eyes pretended to work with the Yellow Claw to hypnotize the television-viewing public into sleepwalking so the Claw's men could rob their cities. Sleepy Eyes, in fact, hypnotized the Claw into thinking the people were sleepwalking and that valuables were stolen when the Claw's men actually stole nothing but empty sacks. Following the "robbery," Jimmy watched as the Claw flew off, thinking he had been successful. Smiling at the knowledge that the Claw had actually acquired nothing, Jimmy thanked Sleepy Eyes for his assistance and noted that the Claw would be quite angry once he realized Sleepy Eyes had been working with the FBI the whole time.
(Yellow Claw I#4 / 6) - Jimmy Woo awoke in the middle of the night to find himself facing a lion in his bedroom. Moments after shooting the lion down, Jimmy received a phone call from Suwan warning him of the lion. Assuring Suwan he was unharmed, Jimmy hastily rushed off to meet Suwan at the airport, where he learned that the lion's attack was part of a plot by the Yellow Claw to use psychic Barnaby Wade to generate solid objects from thought. Arriving at the Yellow Claw's hideout to find both the Yellow Claw and Wade battling soldiers of Wade's own psychic creation, Jimmy fought the thought soldiers and during the scuffle, the Yellow Claw escaped via rocket sled, leaving Wade behind. Realizing he had been duped, Wade dissipated the thought soldiers and Jimmy informed Wade that the Yellow Claw had kept Wade under control via Vitamin X pills. Suwan expressed to Jimmy concern that the Yellow Claw would inevitably return, if only to retrieve her.
(Fear Itself: The Home Front#2 / 2 (fb) - BTS) - At
some point, Jimmy Woo owned a fast Chevrolet Corvette automobile.
(Agents of Atlas I#1 (fb)) - In Spring 1958, the Yellow Claw kidnapped President Dwight Eisenhower and the FBI quickly woke Jimmy Woo up to investigate, given his experience against the Claw. The FBI quickly granted Jimmy special powers to assemble a small team to rescue the President.
(Agents of Atlas I#3 (fb)) - In
an effort to assemble the best team he could to rescue Eisenhower,
Jimmy Woo pulled all of the FBI's files on superhumans who might be
able to help. He then locked his office door for an hour to review the
files and eventually fell asleep for an hour. During his slumber, Woo
had a dream about the perfect team, including the sea beauty Namora,
and when he awoke, he set out to recruit the team he had glimpsed in
his dream.
(Agents of Atlas I#1 (fb)) - He immediately sought
out recent hero Marvel Boy.
(Marvel Boy: The Uranian#3) - Tracking Marvel Boy to
a jail cell in Washington, DC, Jimmy Woo arrived
to see FBI Agent Lupek pointing a gun at Marvel Boy's head. Kicking
Lupek in the head and knocking him out, Jimmy remarked that Lupek was
about to switch places with Marvel Boy and see the other side of the
bars before proclaiming Marvel Boy a national hero rather than a
criminal. Jimmy then returned Marvel Boy's headband and apologized,
asking Marvel Boy not to blame the Bureau for Lupek's actions. Marvel
Boy admitted he could tell that Lupek was acting on his own and Jimmy
introduced himself. As the two shook hands, Jimmy mentioned that he was
putting together a special team for a very important mission and
invited Marvel Boy to join.
(Agents of Atlas I#1 (fb)) - Jimmy next sought the
heroine Venus, unaware that it was actually a
siren posing as the true Olympian Venus.
(Agents of Atlas I#1 (fb) / Agents of Atlas I#3 (fb) - BTS) - The trio then attempted to recruit the Atlantean Namora, who declined the offer on the grounds that she had neglected undersea home for too long but directed Jimmy to the sunken Human Robot.
(Atlas I#3 / 2) - After the inert
Human Robot was brought to the surface, Namora apologized to Jimmy Woo
for not being able to accompany him and his group but noted that she
felt the robot was somehow important. When Namora remarked that her
intuition might seem like Atlantean mysticism to Jimmy and his ally
Venus, Venus admitted she did not ignore that sort of thing and Jimmy
himself commented that recruiting the robot into his group was a tough
choice, as he also relied on intuition but was pressed for time.
Telepathically scanning the robot, Marvel Boy deduced the robot mostly
just needed recharging and when he mentioned that he could replace the
robot's power core and do some quick repairs, Jimmy agreed to recruit
the robot, asking Marvel Boy to do what he could.
(Agents of Atlas I#1 (fb)) - With the aid of Jann of the Jungle, Marvel Boy subsequently recruited the legendary Gorilla-Man to their cause.
(Agents of Atlas I#1 (fb) - BTS) - Marvel Boy restored the Human Robot for Jimmy's group using Uranian technology.
(Atlas I#3 / 2) - As the Human
Robot came online following its restoration, Gorilla-Man expressed
concern that the robot had been initially designed for killing and
Jimmy Woo agreed with Gorilla-Man that bringing the robot online was
risky. When Venus asked what they should call the robot, the Human
Robot introduced itself as M-11 and agreed to help Jimmy's squad,
prompting Jimmy to welcome the Human Robot to the FBI.
(Agents of Atlas I#1 (fb)) - Woo soon led his squadron in an assault on the Yellow Claw's fortress in Outer Mongolia.
(Agents of Atlas I#1 (fb) / Atlas I#2 (fb) / History
of the Marvel Universe II#2) - Making their way to
the Claw's stronghold
within the fortress, Jimmy rallied his group and ordered the robot,
dubbed the Human Robot, to open the stronghold's doors.
(Agents of Atlas I#1 (fb)) - Surprising the Yellow Claw, Jimmy Woo placed him under arrest for transgressions against the highest office but an unfazed Yellow Claw had his assistant Fritz Voltzmann unleashed Shadow Warriors against Woo's group. Marvel Boy dispelled the Shadow Warriors and Woo ordered the Human Robot to apprehend the Claw, only to find that the Claw and his niece Suwan were already in their escape vehicle and were simply transmitting a hologram while leaving Voltzmann to be captured. Before the hologram dissipated, the Claw gloated that, while he might be nearby, he would be long gone by the time Woo and his agents found President Eisenhower, also warning that his fortress was set to explode within two minutes. Marvel Boy quickly detected Eisenhower's brain patterns nearby and Woo ordered the rest of his squad back to their ship while he and the Human Robot rescued President Eisenhower. Finding Eisenhower being served by three female servants, Woo averted his eyes as Eisenhower thanked him for the rescue and offered the women a safe exit from the fortress. Woo, his group, Eisenhower and the three servants then safely escaped the exploding fortress in Marvel Boy's ship. Woo's group remained together following Eisenhower's rescue.
(Agents of Atlas II#1 / 2 (fb) - BTS) - Woo's group was dubbed Department Zero, a special west coast operation of the FBI.
(Agents of Atlas II#4 (fb) - BTS) - Despite Department Zero being highly regarded by President Eisenhower, FBI director J. Edgar Hoover was not impressed and began looking for excuses to shut down the Department almost immediately after its founding.
(Enter the Heroic Age#1 / 2 (fb)) - After the Human
Robot picked up radio broadcasts about a large monster
attacking Waikiki, Hawaii, Jimmy Woo led Department Zero to investigate
and they rescued a young woman later called Tutu Wahini. In the
subsequent battle against the creature, Jimmy quickly learned that
bullets were ineffective and he ordered Marvel Boy to hit the creature
with light blasts in conjunction with the Human Robot's electrical eye
beams. Overhearing the creature gloat about being composed of local
flora and fauna, Jimmy opted to have Venus use her song on the creature
but when it attempted to fight the conflicting sensory input, Jimmy
suggested Venus' affecting of the creature might be short-lived and he
decided to combine his own gunfire with Marvel Boy's light blasts and
the Human Robot's death ray to shatter the creature's body. Marvel Boy
soon noticed a central processing unit with the flora and fauna of the
creature's body and telepathically learned that the unit was
extraterrestrial Kree in origin and that it had been tasked with
clearing the area of humanity. When the CPU flew from Marvel Boy's
hands and dug itself into the ground, promising to return later in a
body composed of ore, Jimmy promised Department Zero would also return
on that day.
(Marvel Boy: The Uranian#3 - BTS) - Two months after he had been recruited into Department Zero by Jimmy Woo, Marvel Boy was contacted by the Eternals of his adoptive planet Uranus, who felt Marvel Boy's secret missions alongside Woo and the Department were accomplishing nothing in the way of advancing his profile or that of Uranus itself. Insisting the work with Jimmy was important for the safety of the planet Earth, Marvel Boy questioned why the Eternals had been exiled to Uranus in the first place and demanded to know that reason before he would continue the Uranian Eternals' mission.
(Agents of Atlas I#3 (fb)) - During one mission, Jimmy Woo and his group battled a giant tentacled robot.
(Atlas
I#1 / 2) - Jimmy and Department Zero investigated a series
of Yellow Claw-funded graverobbings in Maine and when they confronted
one of the graverobbers, Woo remarked on the Department's knowledge
that the graverobbings were inside jobs and how he was uncertain what
the graverobbings were supposed to accomplish. As the Department Zero
discussed the situation, the Yellow Claw had his agent Emil activate a
group of electrically-charged corpses called Electroghouls against
Department Zero. Watching Jimmy and his agents from afar, the Yellow
Claw and his dragon adviser Mr. Lao discussed whether the
Electroghouls
might kill Jimmy Woo, as their activation was not part of the Claw's
intended training of Woo.
(Atlas
I#2 / 2) - Completely unaware that the Yellow Claw and Mr.
Lao were watching from afar, Jimmy Woo came to Venus' defense when her
powers proved ineffective against the Electroghouls. Jimmy soon
ordered
the Human Robot to use his death ray against the Electroghouls,
incinerating several of them. When Jimmy asked how the corpses were
moving and Venus admitted being unsure whether her goosebumps were due
to terror or static, Marvel Boy deduced that the Electroghouls'
electrical attachments had to be powered by something, prompting Jimmy
and the others to begin searching for a transmitter. Venus soon
noticed
Emil trying to flee the scene and Jimmy tackled him, demanding to know
where the transmitter powering the Electroghouls was. Emil at first
refused to cooperate but after Gorilla-Man terrified him, Emil led
Jimmy and the Department Zero agents to the transmitter, where Jimmy
ordered Emil to shut it down. Emil did so but when the corpses fell to
the ground, Venus noted that they were now stuck unable to tell which
corpse went where and Emil followed up by offering to lead the
Electroghouls back to their own graves. Jimmy commended Emil on his
assistance and offered FBI protection if Emil revealed the Yellow
Claw's location but Jimmy was surprised when Emil fell over dead.
Jimmy
asked if Emil's death was caused by a cyanide capsule and the
Gorilla-Man confirmed that Emil appeared to have some sort of
explosive
implanted in his sinus cavity. Jimmy Woo then solemnly remarked that
even when they won, they lost the trail, and he grumbled about the
Yellow Claw escaping them once more. From his headquarters, the Claw
himself noted to Mr. Lao that Jimmy's Department Zero allies might
someday make a formidable inner circle, noting that he envied Mr. Lao
for being able to survive to see where Jimmy's destiny would take him.
(Wolverine: Agent of Atlas#1 (fb) - BTS) - Jimmy and
his teammates received a tip that the Yellow
Claw was running an operation in the jungles of Cuba.
(Agents of Atlas II#1 / 2 (fb) - BTS) - Department
Zero traveled to Cuba on May 3, 1958 to investigate
their tip about the Yellow Claw.
(Wolverine: Agent of Atlas#1) - Jimmy Woo, Gorilla-Man and the Human Robot ventured into the Cuban jungles, where they spotted Canadian secret agent Logan, who sensed their presence due to his mutant senses. Noticing Logan was speaking to someone on a two-way radio, Woo and Gorilla-Man pulled a gun on Logan and demanded he explain why he was in Cuba but Logan equally questioned Woo and company's presence there, noting that they didn't look any of J. Edgar Hoover's FBI men that he'd ever seen. Logan easily avoided the Human Robot subsequent attempt to ensnare him and kicked the guns out of the hands of Gorilla-Man and Jimmy, prompting Jimmy to nearly land a kick on Logan. Logan paused momentarily to note his impression of Woo and Gorilla-Man slammed Logan into a tree. Woo then demanded to know who Logan was speaking to on the radio, asking if it was the Yellow Claw, but Logan replied only by questioning Woo's own connection to the Yellow Claw, given Woo's Chinese-American background. As Jimmy explained to Logan how they had received a tip about the Yellow Claw in Cuba and how it appeared Logan was getting involved in the struggle, Logan wriggled his way out of his jacket, escaping the Gorilla-Man's grasp and viciously slashing Jimmy Woo's throat with a knife.
(Wolverine: Agent of Atlas#2) - Gorilla-Man and the Human Robot savagely attacked Logan in retaliation until a perfectly fine Jimmy Woo stopped them, pointing out that Logan had actually slashed and killed a large insect crawling on Woo's neck. Looking at the killed insect, Woo was surprised he had not felt the insect crawling on his neck and, thinking the Human Robot had killed Logan during its retaliatory attack, Woo suggested he and his allies move along so Logan's honorable sacrifice would count for something. He then contacted Marvel Boy to send the dead insect up to Marvel Boy's Silver Bullet ship for testing. When Venus asked Jimmy if the insect might be connected to the Yellow Claw's plot there, Woo remarked that he had hoped so, as a man had died for naught if there wasn't a connection. As Woo sent the sample up to Marvel Boy, Logan recovered thanks to his mutant healing factor and Woo expressed gladness that Logan had survived, informing Logan that the Human Robot used to be a killer robot. Getting to his feet, Logan asked if Woo saw any of the insects on him, to which Woo replied in the negative. Woo then asked Logan if he could tell them what the bugs were and Logan explained how the insects had been turning up on key figures in the Cuban revolution, noting that he had been sent there to follow up a prior agency that had parachuted in a week earlier. Recognizing that both of their missions appeared to be connected, Woo invited Logan to work with them and they cleared a path through the jungle to Logan's contact, Hendricks, who had been part of the prior team there. Upon meeting Hendricks, Woo and his team followed Logan as Hendricks led them into a large nest of the insects, grimly remarking that they would all soon understand everything.
(Wolverine: Agent of Atlas#3) - Controlled by the insects, Hendricks unleashed a swarm of the insects against Woo, Logan, Gorilla-Man and the Human Robot. During the subsequent fight against the insects, Woo shot one of the bugs off Logan's shoulder, commenting that he was returning the earlier favor. When Hendricks got the drop on Woo with a gun, the gun was crushed by the Human Robot and Marvel Boy soon after communicated with Woo, informing him that the insects permanently bonded to a host to control their minds. Convinced of the insects' danger by Marvel Boy's information, Woo ordered the Human Robot to use his death ray to destroy all of the insects. When Logan subsequently snapped Hendricks' neck, Woo pulled a gun on Logan and demanded to know why Logan had killed Hendricks when they could've captured him alive. Logan reminded Woo that the insect bonding was permanent and that Hendricks knew too much that could not get out. Woo ordered Logan to come with them, promising that he would be released from custody once his information checked out, but Logan refused, noting that his bosses didn't play like that, and instead placed an explosive on the Human Robot and clicked a detonator, warning Woo and his teammates to clear out before the explosion. Woo and Gorilla-Man managed to escape back to Marvel Boy's ship, though the Human Robot was demolished. Following several hours of searching, Woo and his teammates decided to depart, having been unable to find any trace of Logan, and Marvel Boy assured Woo and the others that the Human Robot could be rebuilt since its head remained intact. Woo asked Marvel Boy to make sure the Human Robot was patched up good, as it had managed to stop the Yellow Claw's creepiest threat yet: permanent mind control. Woo and his teammates then flew out of Cuba, completely unaware that the Yellow Claw's insects had bonded to revolutions Fidel Castro and Che Guevara.
(Agents of Atlas II#1 / 2 - BTS) - The Jimmy Woo-led
Department Zero mission to Cuba was transcribed by San Francisco
adjunct FBI agent Angela Wellington from audio recordings provided by
the Human Robot as well as supplemental information provided by the
other members of the group. The transcription was turned over to the
FBI, with Agent Wellington noting that the supplemental information
from the team was necessary due to the Human Robot's recordings
becoming unreliable towards the end of the mission. Her transcription
was marked classified by the FBI as Case 7-A.
(Agents of Atlas II#2 (fb) - BTS) - Following a
series of appearances and disappearances of a Soviet mig
fighter plane at Edwards Air Force Base in 1958, the FBI put the base
in touch
with Department Zero. Woo and his Department Zero allies were soon
summoned to the base in the deserts of Antelope Valley, California,
where they met with Major Garland.
(Agents of Atlas II#2 (fb)) - Shortly
after Woo and his teammates arrived, the Soviet mig appeared and Woo
asked Marvel Boy to see if he could catch up to the plane to
investigate it. After Marvel Boy discovered that the mig was being
piloted by what appeared to be a living skeleton, Woo was given a
report of the times and locations in which the plane had appeared and
Woo assured Garland that Marvel Boy would uncover the truth behind the
plane. Woo was then approached by "Kit" Dekum, who expressed interest
in seeing what it was like to fly inside Marvel Boy's Silver Bullet
spacecraft. Department Zero happily allowed Dekum to accompany back to
San Francisco in the Silver Bullet and when they arrived at the Chabot
Observatory, where the Silver Bullet landed, Woo suggested they take
his Edsel the rest of the way. As they approached the car, Woo found a
small flower on the hood of the car and put it in his jacket pocket
with a smile. The group then took Dekum to a nightclub called the Tiki
Hut that they frequented at the piers and while there, Jimmy spotted
Suwan sitting the corner. Going over to her table, Jimmy revealed that
he had gotten her message in the form of the flower and the two moved
to a room more private. Dekum expressed concern for Jimmy's association
with a known Communist but Venus assured Dekum that Jimmy's loyalties
were in the right place.
(Agents of Atlas II#3 (fb)) - When armed
Soviet agents busted into the nightclub, Gorilla-Man attempted to
distract them to allow Marvel Boy, Venus and "Kit" Dekum to escape
before reaching out to Jimmy Woo, who was kissing Suwan in his Edsel. After
hearing that the Venus was unable to sing and
Marvel Boy was drunk, Jimmy rushed back to the nightclub and along the
way, Suwan expressed concern that the Soviets were after her.
Suggesting they discuss her career choices another time, Jimmy asked
Suwan to stay in his car as he regrouped with Dekum and Venus outside
the club. Remarking to Dekum that he only needed a single gun, Jimmy
stormed his way inside the club and demanded the Soviet agents put down
their weapons in the name of the FBI. The Soviets responded by tossing
gas grenades that downed both Woo and Gorilla-Man. The Human Robot
ultimately incinerated the Soviet agents and cleared the room of the
gas by whirling its arms, and Woo thanked the Robot for saving them.
Woo soon noticed that the only things not incinerated on the agents
were odd, red triangles and he opted to gather them up for Marvel Boy
to analyze. Woo then rushed outside to check on Suwan, only to find her
gone.
Jimmy then accompanied the rest of
his Department and "Kit" Dekum back to their headquarters, where Marvel
Boy healed the injured Venus. While everyone relaxed, Woo received a
phone call from Suwan, who asked if Woo had recovered the triangles.
Before Woo could question how Suwan knew about the triangles, he
overheard Suwan getting captured. Marvel Boy had the Human Robot trace
the call and he flew ahead to Presidio Cemetery with Woo and the rest
of the team arriving minutes later. Venus quickly noticed a whirling
pattern nearby by viewing it through one of the red triangles and when
the Human Robot right into the whirling portal, Woo had each of his
teammates take a triangle and follow the Robot through the portal.
Inside, Woo and Department Zero found a desert landscape riddled with
the bones of all manner of warriors.
(Agents of Atlas II#4 (fb)) - As Woo and
the others looked around confused, Marvel Boy learned by shining his
wrist bands' light through one of the triangles that the landscape was
some sort of subsection of time and space with multiple portals all
around them. Woo soon noticed one of the portals was triangular-shaped
and deduced that it might help the Soviet agents find their way back to
base. Rushing into the triangular portal, Woo, Dekum and the Department
Zero agents emerged in a Soviet base, where Suwan was being tied to a
tree. The Human Robot made quick work of most of the agents and Woo
kicked one of them to rescue Suwan, who asked whether Woo and his
teammates had brought the red triangles with them. Woo then had Venus
sing to incapacitate the remaining agents, whom Suwan confirmed were
Soviets rather than secret agents of the Yellow Claw. She then revealed
that the agents were being led by a KGB officer named Karpov and how
Karpov had paid to be able to pass through the time-space subsection
land, which she dubbed the Dragon's Corridor. Suwan also admitted that
she had been tasked with ensuring the Soviet agents only used the
Dragon's Corridor for the agreed upon usage and how she had stolen one
of the agents' red triangles in order to see Jimmy Woo. Woo questioned
what sort of operation the agents were using the Dragon's Corridor for
and Suwan revealed that the agents were stealing FBI containers. While
Dekum marveled at the experimental Soviet mig at the base, Suwan showed
Woo and the others the transport housing the stolen containers and when
they removed the blanket covering the containers, Department Zero were
shocked to see that the containers housed the 1950s Captain
America
and Bucky in suspended animation. Unsure if these were the real Captain
America and Bucky, Woo nonetheless decided to take them back to the US
via the Dragon's Corridor and Dekum opted to fly the experimental
Soviet mig through the portal, especially after Marvel Boy confirmed
the mig had been equipped to open its own portals into the Corridor.
When Russian bombers soon carpet
bombed the area, Woo ordered everyone through the triangular portal
into the Dragon's Corridor with the Human Robot carrying Captain
America and Bucky. As Dekum got the mig started and flew into the
portal, Marvel Boy recognized symbols on the mig and realized that the
skeleton he had seen earlier at Edwards Air Force Base had been a time
and space-displaced "Kit" Dekum. Determining that Dekum had lost his
red triangle that shielded him from the Corridor's radiation, Marvel
Boy explained to Woo and the others what he had deduced and informed
them that the Dragon's Corridor's radiation had made Dekum's cells
become transparent, causing him to appear as a skeleton. The group soon
realized that Marvel Boy had earlier given Edwards Air Force Base the
coordinates of where Dekum would next appear and they rushed back to
San Francisco in an effort to stop the base from shooting down Dekum's
time-looped plane. Woo opted to have he and Venus stay in San Francisco
with the bodies of Captain America and Bucky while the others flew to
Edwards in Marvel Boy's rocket. Before they could all enter the portal
to California, Suwan refused to go, informing Jimmy that the Yellow
Claw would need to be informed of the situation and she remained in the
Dragon's Corridor as a saddened Jimmy entered the portal. He then
accompanied Marvel Boy to Edwards Air Force Base but they arrived too
late to stop the military from blowing up Dekum's plane.
Jimmy next brought Captain America
and Bucky back to the FBI, where he asked J. Edgar Hoover if the men in
the containers were the real Cap and Bucky. Hoover admitted he could
not share classified information despite being grateful for Woo's work.
When Hoover asked if they had made any progress duplicating the ability
to enter the Dragon's Corridor, Marvel Boy remarked that he might have
more luck if the FBI returned the red triangles they had confiscated
but Hoover informed them that it was too risky. Woo then questioned
whether Hoover trusted them, to which Hoover replied that Department
Zero might be the darlings of President Eisenhower but they took too
many procedural liberties for the FBI. He then expressed his thoughts
that Department Zero had come to an end of its usefulness. Woo, Marvel
Boy and Venus then departed FBI headquarters discussing whether or not
Hoover truly intended to shut them down and Woo noted that Hoover had
been looking for a reason to shut down Department Zero since its
founding and how "Kit" Dekum's death might be the excuse Hoover needed
to close the Department. As they approached Woo's Edsel, Jimmy remarked
that if Hoover did shut down Department Zero, the FBI would be losing
its best agents.
(Agents of Atlas I#1 (fb)) - Six months after
Department Zero's founding, the US government ordered
the
group disbanded on the grounds that the world "wasn't ready" for a
group like them and their mission logs were classified, an Eagle
directive preventing Woo from ever working with his teammates in an
official capacity again.
(Agents of Atlas I#2 (fb) / Agents of Atlas I#3 (fb)) - As the group disbanded in early 1959 and were parting ways, Jimmy Woo shook hands and said goodbye to his teammate Marvel Boy, whose Uranian headpiece secretly recorded Woo's genetic structure.
(Avengers 1959 I#4 (fb) - BTS) - Agent Woo received a communication from his ally Namora, who had learned from Col. Nick Fury that an assassin would be going after Gen. Frank Hill and Woo phoned his former teammate Gorilla-Man so that Gorilla-Man could stop the assassin.
(Iron Man IV#10 (fb) - BTS) - At some
point, industrialist Howard Stark aided Jimmy Woo and Woo felt indebted
to Stark for the assistance.
(Agents of Atlas I#1 (fb)) - In 1959, the FBI promoted Jimmy Woo out of the field.
(Marvel's Voices: Identity I#1 / 3 (fb) - BTS) -
While retaining his desk job with the FBI, Jimmy Woo
secretly continued shelling out justice to those in need despite no
longer have the same government clearance he once had. At some point,
he learned of an escaped extraterrestrial Venusian that was seeking a
power reactor that had impounded in federal custody. Deciding to aid
the Venusian, Jimmy called up his old friend May Takeuchi, who had
since become a reporter, and asked her to meet him at a secret
government warehouse.
(Marvel's Voices: Identity I#1 / 3) - May arrived at
the warehouse and communicated with Jimmy that she saw
no sign of the monster in the news. Almost immediately after May asked
Jimmy if he was sure about the monster, Jimmy pulled May into an
alleyway as the escaped Venusian ran by, confirming that he was sure
about the monster. Jimmy suggested May wait behind while he took care
of business but May refused to give up another scoop to whatever
classified agency Jimmy was working for these days. Jimmy informed May
that he was no longer manhunting for the FBI or anyone else and a
surprised May reminded Jimmy about how he had wanted to be a G-Man
since they were children together. When she asked what had happened,
Jimmy explained how he always had thought he would get the justice he
sought by working for the men with the biggest sticks, only to find out
about those who were getting beat down in the process. Grabbing a
wrench, Jimmy Woo then nonchalantly walked right out into the open
warehouse, surprisingly the federal guards battling the Venusian, one
of which asked if Jimmy had quit the FBI and questioned Jimmy's
security clearance. Ignoring the guard, Jimmy used the wrench to bust
open a large case housing all sorts of confiscated items including the
mystical Wand
of
Watoomb, the
Darkhold
tome and others, prompting the guard to proclaim the items to be
federal property. Finding the Venusian power reactor, Jimmy suggested
the guard ask the Venusian he stole the reactor from. Jimmy then
returned the power reactor to the Venusian, who gratefully teleported
himself, Jimmy and May Takeuchi from the warehouse. On a nearby
hillside, the Venusian thanked Jimmy, who joked that he was sure the
Venusian would return the favor if Jimmy were ever captured by
Venusians. As the Venusian flew off, May joked that Jimmy had some
interesting friends, to which Jimmy replied that he had been an
outsider most of his life and that if he didn't stick up for the
weirdos, who would? A chuckling May asked if Jimmy was calling her a
weirdo and Jimmy joked back that he would need a few more beers in him
before he became that bold. May answered that it sounded like a great
idea before jokingly announcing that everything they had discussed
would be on the record.
(Agents of Atlas I#6 (fb) - BTS) - Not ready for a
hero of Chinese lineage, the US government ultimately buried Jimmy's
legacy in
bureaucracy rather than promoting him into a higher office.
(Agents of Atlas I#6 (fb) - BTS) - At some point, the
Yellow Claw and the Atlas Foundation lost track of Jimmy Woo. Around
that same time, Jimmy noticed that the Yellow Claw's public activities
seemed to cease.
(Strange Tales I#160 (fb) - BTS) - Having fought the
Yellow Claw several times, Jimmy Woo and the rest of the FBI thought
the sinister
mastermind had died due to his sudden dropping out of sight.
(Strange Tales I#166 (fb) - BTS) - Jimmy caught a Burt Lancaster movie in which he watched Lancaster quickly turn to shoot a man behind him. Finding the scene interesting, Jimmy waited to someday use such a move in the field.
(Iron Man IV#10 (fb)) - After learning that the
captured Rigellian Recorder#451 had knowledge of advanced medical
technology that he could potentially use to help he and his wife have a
child, Howard Stark sought to create a group of agents to help him
liberate the Recorder, starting with FBI agent Jimmy Woo. Meeting Woo
at an airport diner, Howard tried hard to convince Woo to join his
group, eventually getting Woo to agree by reminding Woo that he still
owed him. Jimmy Woo replied that after he helped Stark, he would no
longer owe him. After recruiting the mystic hybrid Bear and high stakes
gambler Nessa the Kitten, Howard Stark visited CIA agent Timothy
"Dum-Dum" Dugan and tried to convince Dugan to join by assuring him
that Jimmy Woo had agreed to join. Within hours, Stark had also
recruited Dugan, Lt. Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross and the alien Rollo
and Jimmy met the now-assembled Stark Seven in Las Vegas. The Seven
quickly got to work infiltrating the Area 52 casino and while Nessa,
Dugan and Ross distracted the alien Greys running the casino with a
gambling heist, Jimmy Woo and Howard Stark infiltrated the area of the
casino housing the captive Rigellian Recorder by using Stark-created
invisibility technology. Commending Stark on his job
reverse-engineering Rollo's image-inducing technology to create the
invisibility tech, Woo asked if he'd get to keep the technology after
their mission was completed and Stark replied that allowing Woo to keep
the invisibility tech was the least he could do for his assistance.
Once Stark and Woo had located the Recorder, Woo turned off his
invisibility tech before the Bear detonated the Recorder's shackles and
freed it.
(Iron Man IV#12 (fb) - BTS) - Shortly after
Recorder#451 was freed, Howard Stark asked Jimmy Woo and the rest of
his Stark Seven to stay within a close distance to Las Vegas in case
there was any fallout from the Greys over the theft of the Recorder.
(Iron Man IV#12 (fb)) - When the Greys threatened Howard Stark's family following the theft of Recorder#451, Stark again assembled Jimmy Woo and the rest of the Stark Seven to take the Greys down at their casino. During the attack on the casino, Jimmy Woo and Lt. "Thunderbolt" Ross fired on the casino from an aircraft made to resemble a UFO so the public would have no idea the attack was not some part of an alien-themed publicity stunt the casino was throwing.
(Strange Tales I#160 (fb) - BTS) - Over the following decades with the FBI, Jimmy Woo heard many stories of WWII soldier turned espionage agent Nick Fury.
(Secret War: From the Files of Nick Fury - BTS) - At
some point during his decades with the FBI, Jimmy apparently got
married but
the relationship ended in divorce. Throughout his overall tenure with
the
FBI going into the modern era, Jimmy was known to have worked alongside
several heroes against Soviet spies and other threats.
(Strange Tales I#160 (fb) - BTS) - Jimmy
met and befriended the recently unfrozen hero Captain America. A short
time later, after Jimmy had read up on one of Nick Fury's battles with
the terrorist Hydra organization, the FBI uncovered evidence that the
Yellow Claw might still be alive. Nearly a week later, Jimmy Woo was
summoned to the secret S.H.I.E.L.D. organization headquarters by
Captain America to help shed some light on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s enigmatic
Project: Blackout mission.
(Strange Tales I#160) - As S.H.I.E.L.D. Col. Nick Fury and Captain America reviewed the classified files on Project: Blackout, Jimmy Woo arrived at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters and Cap introduced him to Fury. Fury quickly asked Jimmy if he had a lead on Project: Blackout, at which point Jimmy revealed his encounters with the Yellow Claw years earlier and suggested that the Claw might be the key to the S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Project: Blackout invasion mission. He then asked Nick Fury to recount S.H.I.E.L.D.'s involvement in Project: Blackout.
(Strange Tales I#161) - After relating the Project: Blackout mission to Jimmy Woo, Nick Fury concluded that the final part in the story involved an explosion that buried not only his enemies but also the evidence from the mission as well. Upon hearing the story and how Project: Blackout was covered up after a period of months, Jimmy Woo suspected the Yellow Claw as the mastermind behind Project: Blackout. As Jimmy spoke, he remained unaware that the Yellow Claw himself (actually a robot) was viewing the events from afar and gloating at how he had swore revenge on Woo years earlier. Exclaiming that his niece Suwan would soon set at the side of the master of the world, the Yellow Claw robot warned that it would be most unfortunate for Jimmy Woo if he chose to interfere with the Claw's plans.
(Strange Tales I#162 (fb) - BTS) - At some point,
Jimmy Woo became acquainted with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Countessa Valentina
Allegra de Fontaine. During another visit to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters,
Jimmy Woo was given the entire security treatment despite his long
tenure with the FBI.
(Strange Tales I#162) - After receiving security
clearance, Jimmy ventured into S.H.I.E.L.D. new ESP chamber, where he
was greeted by Nick Fury and Valentina de Fontaine. Since Jimmy had the
most knowledge about the Yellow Claw, Fury had him sit in one of the
chamber's telepathic booths in hopes that Jimmy's knowledge would help
S.H.I.E.L.D. pinpoint the Claw's location. Sure enough, Jimmy's mind
was able to locate the Yellow Claw (still secretly a robot) in New
York's Chinatown and Fury
immediately prepared to rush off to stop the Claw robot before the
terrorist
could enact his newest plans. Jimmy tried to warn Fury that he didn't
know the Claw like Jimmy did but Fury explained to Jimmy that the
Yellow Claw was a S.H.I.E.L.D. situation now and Jimmy relented,
warning Fury to keep his eyes open.
(Strange Tales I#163 - BTS) - Upon witnessing the
Yellow Claw (robot)'s latest plot for world domination, his niece Suwan
(also a robot)
contacted Jimmy Woo, much as the real Suwan had done decades earlier,
and informed
him of the Claw robot's plot to steal the A.I.M. super-weapon known as
the
Ultimate Annihilator. Jimmy immediately contacted Nick Fury at
S.H.I.E.L.D. via video screen and provided the details of the Yellow
Claw's plan so Fury could handle the situation.
(Strange Tales I#166 / 2) - Trapped in a FBI gunfight with a group of criminals, Jimmy noticed that he was only getting fired upon from one direction. Using the pair of Panoramic Glasses he was wearing to check behind himself, Jimmy discovered one of the thugs sneaking up behind him and turned around just in time to shoot the thug down. Quickly noticing the other gunman was attempting to flee, Jimmy held the man at gunpoint and ordered the man to hand over his gun. Just as he thought his mission was too easy, Jimmy was suddenly warped to the underwater base of the Yellow Claw robot by the Claw's Matter-Warp Apparatus. Despite the robot Suwan's pleading that Jimmy be spared the Claw's wrath, the vengeful Claw robot immediately had Jimmy bound to his Thermo-Frigid Intensi-Ray Machine and announced that Jimmy would soon be fatally polarized by the machine. The arriving Nick Fury interrupted the proceedings but the Yellow Claw robot activated the Thermo-Frigid Intensi-Ray Machine in an attempt to show Fury what awaited him. Disobeying the Yellow Claw robot's orders, the Suwan robot rushed to Jimmy's side and while Fury and the Claw robot battled hand-to-hand, the Suwan robot freed Jimmy, only to become a victim of the machine herself. Recovering from his ordeal, the weakened Jimmy noticed the frozen Suwan robot and, completely unaware she was a robot, announced her death, emotionally blaming both the Yellow Claw and Nick Fury for her death.
(Strange Tales I#167 / Wolverine IV#900 / 2 (fb)) -
Holding the lifeless body of
the Suwan robot in his arms, the mourning Jimmy Woo expressed a wish
that he had
been the one to die instead of Suwan and the Yellow Claw robot's base
was
subsequently rocked by an attack from S.H.I.E.L.D. As S.H.I.E.L.D.
battled the Claw robot and his forces, Jimmy remained by the Suwan
robot, still
processing the loss. As Nick Fury defeated the Yellow Claw, revealing
the Claw to be a robot duplicate, the robotic Prime Mover looked over a
chessboard containing pieces that resembled Jimmy Woo, the Yellow Claw,
Nick Fury and the other combatants and announced to Doctor Doom that
their game had ended.
(Strange Tales I#168) - Following the battle against
the robot Yellow Claw, Nick Fury thought back on the battle as he
dictated a letter to Jimmy Woo informing Jimmy that both the Yellow
Claw they had recently encountered and the Suwan who perished were
actually robot duplicates. As he dictated, Fury suggested the
possibility that both the real Claw and Suwan could have been robots
for the
entire length of time Jimmy had known them, going all the way back to
the 1950s. He ended the letter by asking Jimmy to consider an offer
Fury had made him for the good of the country before dozing off. Later,
as Jimmy attempted to relax, he viewed a Vid-Com tape sent to him by
Nick Fury using an advanced Vid-Receptor device and learned that Nick
Fury sought to recruit Jimmy into S.H.I.E.L.D.
(Agents of Atlas I#6 (fb) - BTS) - The real Yellow
Claw continued to be unaware of Jimmy Woo's activities but he suspected
Woo's involvement with S.H.I.E.L.D. despite the Atlas Foundation dragon
Mr. Lao suspecting Jimmy Woo to be dead.
(Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. I#2 (fb) - BTS) - Jimmy Woo accepted Nick Fury's offer to join S.H.I.E.L.D. As part of his new agent training, Jimmy was sent into a funhouse-like maze and ordered to survive.
(Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. I#2) - Entering the
funhouse, Jimmy Woo at first seemed a bit jumpy but he was soon
accosted by a duo of animated skeletons, shattering one before falling
into a trap door. Catching his fall on an old wooden beam, Jimmy found
the beam cracking so he swung from it into a boarded up window, only to
find that subsequent room to be another trap when its vents began
emitting gas. Diving from the room's window into a body of water
outside, Jimmy found himself attacked by an alligator that he wrangled
using his tie and he soon escaped to the surface. The nearby walls then
began closing in on him so Jimmy set fire to the wooden walls using his
cigarette lighter and forced his way through the burning wall to meet
up with S.H.I.E.L.D. agents Nick Fury, "Dum-Dum" Dugan and Clay
Quartermain. Announcing that Woo had passed the S.H.I.E.L.D. training
test, Fury welcomed Jimmy into the organization and suggested he get a
night's rest, as they had a plane to catch the following day.
The next morning, Jimmy piloted a
S.H.I.E.L.D. aircraft to rendezvous with the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier
and during the trip, he noticed a strange quietness about Nick Fury.
Suspecting that perhaps he was not trusted and his invitation into
S.H.I.E.L.D. might be questioned due to his blaming Fury when he
thought Suwan had been killed, Jimmy tried to ease his thoughts until
an unseen force knocked the aircraft off course. When the plane went
out of control, Fury ejected Jimmy from the cockpit and Jimmy wondered
why Fury himself did not eject as he launched into the sky. Later,
after Fury ditched the aircraft and was brought onto the island
Valhalla by servants of the scientist Centurius, Fury angrily demanded
to know what had become of Jimmy, only to be shocked when Jimmy entered
the room. Jimmy explained how he had equally been brought to the
island. After hearing Centurius' story of being ridiculed for his
scientific beliefs, Nick Fury attempted to convince Centurius to return
to civilization with them and Jimmy whispered perhaps that wasn't such
a great idea. Centurius then admitted that they both would have to stay
on Valhalla until such a time that his A.R.C. device destroyed the
planet with radiation so it could be recolonized. When Centurius
removed his helmet, Jimmy Woo recognized him as missing 1930s Nobel
Prize winner Dr. Noah Black and when Jimmy questioned how Black could
still be alive, Centurius remarked that he and his former self of Dr.
Black were two completely different people that would soon witness the
salvation he would bring to Earth. Jimmy argued that no man should set
himself up as a god but Centurius replied that a man must do what was
best. Centurius then left the two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents as he attended to
other matters and following a brief discussion on what to do, both
Jimmy and Nick Fury attacked Centurius' guards in an attempt to stop
Centurius' mad scheme.
Together, Jimmy and Nick made their way to Centurius and assaulted him. During the scuffle, Jimmy was knocked to the ground. As Fury attended to Jimmy, they both witnessed Centurius jump into one of his own evolutionary machines in an attempt to evolve himself into a superior being. Unfortunately, the machine instead devolved Centurius back into a protoplasmic slime state and without Centurius, Valhalla was destroyed by Centurius' own falling A.R.C. device. Nick and Jimmy escaped into the water surrounding the island and they were soon picked up by a ship housing a crew that had been filming a movie on one side of the island. Once onboard the boat, Jimmy commended Nick Fury on arranging for the A.R.C. device to hit the island but Fury admitted he had done nothing to cause the destruction.
(Rise of
the Black Panther I#3 (fb)) - After S.H.I.E.L.D. began a mission to
send agents into a the then-unknown country of Wakanda, Woo met with
Agent Jasper Sitwell and asked him to run down the specifics of the
situation. Sitwell explained that forty-eight hours earlier, African
embassies for the five permanent member nations in the United Nations
security council had received invitations to an exhibition of the
latest Wakandan technological advances. Sitwell further explained that
decibel levels dropped in the vicinity of the invitations before
disintegrated completely after twenty-four hours, to which Woo noted
that the invitations came from a place that, until that point, no one
had ever heard of. Sitwell also noted that any database searches for
"Wakanda" had been met with the twisting of the data itself and a
surprised Woo questioned how that data could be altered mid-search
when
the S.H.I.E.L.D. databases were double-encrypted. Smiling, Woo then
remarked that it sounded as if the King of Wakanda was throwing a
birthday party. When Sitwell questioned what Woo meant, Jimmy Woo
explained that whoever missed out on the exhibition would miss out on
any potential "goody bag" Wakanda had to offer. Sitwell and Woo then
discussed how each of the countries that received the invitation were
naturally interested in what Wakanda might have to offer and when Woo
asked whether the Fantastic Four or any other heroes were reached
regarding the situation, Sitwell revealed how neither the Fantastic
Four nor the Avengers were available but Iron Man appeared to be
following one of the planes to Wakanda. When the plane Iron Man was
following mysteriously disappeared out of thin air, Sitwell jokingly
questioned whether they would be fired and Woo replied back that Nick
Fury, Gabe Jones and the other former Howling Commandos in
S.H.I.E.L.D.
were on a fishing trip and that Sitwell still had time to pack up his
desk.
(Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. I#5 (fb) - BTS) -
Jimmy Woo asked the Countess Valentina Allegra de Fontaine to tell Nick
Fury that he would be late to a scheduled Life Model Decoy (LMD) test.
(Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. I#5 - BTS) - When "Nick Fury" (secretly a disguised Scorpio) entered the S.H.I.E.L.D. offices for the LMD test, Valentina informed "Fury" that Jimmy said he would be late to the test.
(Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. I#7) - When Nick
Fury stopped checking in with S.H.I.E.L.D. following a morning mission,
Jimmy Woo drove "Dum-Dum" Dugan and Gabe Jones in a S.H.I.E.L.D.
Mobile-Field Unit to track down the missing Fury. During their search,
Dugan expressed concern for Fury and Jimmy reminded Dugan of Nick
Fury's stubbornness until Gabe Jones managed to get a fix on the
Directional Beamer Fury wore. Dugan quickly suggested Jimmy floor it
and as they approached the location of Fury's Directional Beamer, Jimmy
suggested that perhaps they had not heard from Fury because the lead
Fury was following had gotten rough. Driving up to a police crime
scene, Jimmy exited the Mobile-Field Unit and he and his fellow
S.H.I.E.L.D. managed to get the police to release the maddened Nick
Fury into their custody. Finding Fury in a sort of trance, Jimmy and
the two other agents attempted to talk sense into Fury but the
hallucinating Fury saw them as enemies and attacked, fighting his way
through his three friends and escaping. Getting back to their feet, the
agents grew more concerned about Fury's actions and Jimmy noted that
Fury's actions paralleled those of other agents that had recently
seemed to suffer breakdowns, events which Fury himself had been
investigating. Dugan quickly had Gabe Jones communicate with
S.H.I.E.L.D. to check on the other maddened agents in their custody and
Gabe soon learned that S.H.I.E.L.D. had discovered drugs in the systems
of the maddened agents that caused death within six hours of injection.
More concerned than ever for Nick Fury, Jimmy, Dugan and Gabe began a
search for Fury, a search that soon led them towards the mountain
pickup point for a Vortex-Beam device. As they drove up the mountain
road, the three S.H.I.E.L.D. agents found a driverless car housing the
unconscious Nick Fury barreling down the road towards them. Before the
two vehicles could collide, they were picked up by a Vortex-Beam
projected by the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier. Once onboard, a S.H.I.E.L.D.
doctor attempted to administer an antidote to the drug affecting Fury
but the still-maddened Fury attacked the doctor, revealing him to be a
S.H.I.E.L.D. traitor. Jimmy, Dugan and Gabe rushed to Fury's side as
the proper antidote was administered and the two agents learned that
the traitor had fallen onto the fatal injection he had intended for
Fury.
(Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. I#8) - Following
the death of the villainous Supremus,
Jimmy Woo read Supremus' half-sister Fatima her rights as she gave her
testimony of what she knew of Supremus to S.H.I.E.L.D. Before Fatima
could speak, Nick Fury told Jimmy to stow it and asked Fatima to
continue. Following Fatima's testimony, Jimmy informed Nick Fury that
the latest television broadcast should be interesting to Fury and they
all watched as the news reported the unseasonable heat wave caused by
Supremus had subsided.
(Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. I#9) - After
encountering agents of the Hate-Monger, Nick Fury had "Dum-Dum" Dugan
summoned Jimmy Woo and Gabe Jones to the main control room of
S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters. As Jimmy and Gabe arrived, Fury had them
diverted to a S.H.I.E.L.D. attack craft, where they grouped with
"Dum-Dum" and Fury himself and flew off into the atmosphere. As they
attempted to track down the Hate-Monger's agents, they were attacked
and the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were able to successfully destroy the
Hate-Monger agents' craft before cruising in for a landing. As they
ventured lower to land, their craft was seemingly caught in a strange
vortex and Fury ordered them all to eject. Falling from the craft,
Jimmy Woo, unaware that what he and his fellow agents were seeing were
nothing more than hallucinations caused by the Hate-Monger, began
blasting a strange, alien-like creature that he thought was grabbing
him by the legs. He was soon captured alongside Gabe Jones and
"Dum-Dum" Dugan despite still suffering from hallucinations and the
three captive agents were subsequently shown to Nick Fury by the
gloating Hate-Monger following Fury's own capture. When Fury asked if
the Hate-Monger planned to kill his agents, the Hate-Monger bragged
that there was no need, as the hallucinating agents would destroy
themselves. The Hate-Monger's agent Dr. Kaupfman soon turned on the
Hate-Monger and S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Laura Brown revealed herself as an
undercover agent within the Hate-Monger's organization and together,
they helped free Jimmy and the other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. Dr. Kaupfman
then ordered the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to escape at gunpoint while
Kaupfman sought to destroy the Hate-Monger's island headquarters. As
the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents escaped the island, the recovering Hate-Monger
shot Dr. Kaupfman but Kaupfman died activated the island's
self-destruct protocols. Jimmy and the other agents made their way to a
nearby raft and managed to escape into the waters, where Jimmy, Gabe
and "Dum-Dum" began paddling towards their pickup point.
(Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. I#11) - After Nick
Fury encountered the Hate Ray-affected band Million Megaton Explosion,
he rushed back to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, where he informed Jimmy
Woo, Gabe Jones and "Dum-Dum" Dugan of his suspicions that the
surviving Hate-Monger was influencing the band to cause a revolution
between the younger and older generations.

(Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. I#12) - When Nick
Fury went on the run from S.H.I.E.L.D. after accusations of being a
traitor, Jimmy Woo and Gabe Jones were ordered by a S.H.I.E.L.D.
general to apprehend Fury. As the two men geared up, Gabe asked the
general what they should do if Fury couldn't be reasoned with and Jimmy
interjected to note that the words of their next actions needn't be
spoken. Jimmy and Gabe then departed for their mission, running past
the true mastermind of the plot: double-agent Robert Rickard. Gabe
Jones ultimately located Fury and Jimmy arrived shortly after in a
S.H.I.E.L.D. Gyro-Copter. Noticing an armored man standing over what
appeared to be Fury, Jimmy landed the Gyro-Copter to pick up who he
thought was Gabe, only to discover that the man he thought was an
unconscious Nick Fury was actually Gabe. Realizing he had been duped,
Jimmy turned to see Nick Fury, wearing Gabe's S.H.I.E.L.D. armor,
confiscate Jimmy's Gyro-Copter to escape. Grumbling that he'd fallen
for the oldest trick in the book, Jimmy remarked that Fury would be
miles away by the time he reported the situation back to S.H.I.E.L.D.
He nonetheless reported the situation and the report was overheard by
Robert Rickard.
(Avengers I#72 - BTS) - After three of New York's top officials disappeared, Captain America contacted S.H.I.E.L.D. and summoned the Avengers so S.H.I.E.L.D. could brief them on the situation. When S.H.I.E.L.D. communicated back to the Avengers by video screen, the Avengers found "Dum-Dum" Dugan, Jimmy Woo and Gabe Jones staring back at them despite expecting Nick Fury. Dugan revealed to the Avengers that the scene of each disappearance contained the calling card of a S.H.I.E.L.D. foe called Scorpio and tearfully informed the Avengers that Fury was not there because he was dead. Dugan explained that Fury had been shot by an assassin called Bull's-Eye before ending the communication.
(Agents of Atlas I#1 (fb) - BTS) - Jimmy eventually
worked his way up into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s directorate (see
comments).
(Godzilla I#3 (fb) - BTS) - At some point, Jimmy Woo
met industrialist Tony Stark.
(Godzilla I#1) - Following an attack in Alaska by the
time-lost reptilian monster Godzilla, Jimmy Woo accompanied "Dum-Dum"
Dugan in the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier to Alaska. Once in position,
Dugan commented to Jimmy that perhaps they could take down Godzilla in
their opening salvo as he ordered the S.H.I.E.L.D. "Angel"
Squad
to attack. When the "Angel" Squad was easily swatted aside by Godzilla,
Dugan himself got involved but Godzilla equally destroyed Dugan's
experimental plane, forcing him to land. Jimmy Woo landed shortly after
to check on Dugan. Dugan confirmed his safety and wondered aloud to
Jimmy the origin of Godzilla before opting to use a giant laser cannon
against the reptilian creature. Jimmy then watched as Dugan scored a
direct hit to Godzilla's face with the laser cannon, which only enraged
the beast, who responded by breathing fire to destroy the laser cannon.
Godzilla then set fire to the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. camp, prompting Jimmy
and Dugan to antagonize Godzilla into going after them, an act that
caused a landslide that smothered the fires the beast created. The
landslide also prompted Godzilla to depart the area and Nick Fury soon
arrived on the scene with Japanese Godzilla experts Dr. Yuriko
Takiguchi, Yuriko's grandson Robert and Yuriko's assistant Tamara
Hashioka.
(Godzilla I#2 (fb) - BTS) - Jimmy Woo joined

"Dum-Dum" Dugan.
(Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Deluxe Edition I#11 - S.H.I.E.L.D. entry - BTS) - Jimmy Woo was made a S.H.I.E.L.D. special officer (Level Four), a title tasking him with assisting the S.H.I.E.L.D. special directors (Level Two).
(Godzilla I#3 (fb) - BTS) - In his new capacity as a
special officer, Jimmy acted as Dugan's second-in-command on the
Godzilla Squad.
(Godzilla I#2) - Jimmy was present with Dugan as he
discussed Godzilla's origins and Dr. Takiguchi's involvement on the
S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier. During the discussion, Jimmy appeared
surprised when Robert Takiguchi proclaimed Godzilla to be a hero
undeserving of death. Following the outburst, Robert was escorted from
the room and Tamara Hashioka unveiled the plans for Dr. Takiguchi's
secret weapon against Godzilla. The conversation was soon interrupted
by a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent heralding the arrival of Gabe Jones onto the
Helicarrier. Soon after regrouping with Gabe and traveling to Seattle,
Washington, Jimmy and the other Godzilla Squad S.H.I.E.L.D. agents
donned experimental Spanflex armor in preparation for a confrontation
with Godzilla in Seattle. During the battle against Godzilla, Gabe
Jones destroyed a Seattle power plant to keep the city lights from
drawing Godzilla's attention and Jimmy Woo followed up by getting a
S.H.I.E.L.D. squadron in place to project beacon lights to entice
Godzilla away from the city. When Godzilla got close to Jimmy, he
turned off his beacon and had a second agent further out light his
beacon, successfully drawing Godzilla towards the second light further
out from the city. Jimmy then tracked Godzilla all the way to the
coast, where the creature grew tired of being led around and refused to
go after the seventh beacon. S.H.I.E.L.D. then forced Godzilla over a
cliff and into the ocean, where Godzilla swam out rather than return to
shore, and "Dum-Dum" Dugan subsequently commended Jimmy Woo and Gabe
Jones for their efforts in saving Seattle.
(Godzilla I#3 (fb) - BTS) - As part of the Godzilla
Squad, Jimmy Woo was assigned as a liaison to the three Japanese
Godzilla experts on the team, leaving Gabe Jones to fill in the role of
second-in-command while Jimmy was busy with his liaison duties. When
Godzilla appeared in San Francisco, the
Godzilla Squad dropped Jimmy, Tamara, Robert and Dr. Takiguchi off at
the Seattle airport as the rest of the Squad made their way to
California. From the Seattle airport, Jimmy, Tamara and the Takiguchis
flew to Detroit to meet with Tony Stark regarding the building of Dr.
Takiguchi's secret weapon.
(Godzilla I#3) - While "Dum-Dum" Dugan griped to Gabe
Jones about having dropped Jimmy off in Seattle just as they were
needing him, Jimmy, Tamara, Robert and Dr. Takiguchi touched down at
the Stark International airstrip in Detroit, Michigan. The foursome
were greeted by Tony Stark, who took the group on a tour of inspection
of Stark International. When Dr. Takiguchi admitted the Stark
International plant would work perfectly for the creation of his secret
weapon, Stark invited them all for coffee but Jimmy opted to spend some
time alone with Tamara, unaware of Dr. Takiguchi's disapproving eye.
(Godzilla I#4) - Jimmy Woo was in Detroit and
attempting to ask Tamara Hashioka out to see Star
Wars
when he received a phone call from "Dum-Dum" Dugan requesting a status
report. As Jimmy informed Dugan about the construction of Dr.
Takiguchi's weapon, Robert questioned Dr. Takiguchi about his
disapproval of Jimmy flirting with Tamara.
(Godzilla I#6) - Still in Detroit, Jimmy Woo was
present when Dr. Takiguchi was called away to inspect the work on his
secret weapon. Noticing that Tamara seemed to tense up, Jimmy
questioned why she always became so nervous in his company, as he found
it pleasant to be alone together for a change. When he joked about Dr.
Takiguchi's weapon, motioning towards the blueprints of a giant
cybernetic robot, Tamara asked Jimmy not to mock Dr. Takiguchi's work
and Jimmy responded by kissing Tamara. Tamara quickly pushed Jimmy away
and he apologized but when she tried to change the subject, Jimmy
acknowledged Tamara's refusal to talk about their feelings and he
assured her the matter would be dropped.
(Godzilla I#7) - Feeling as if he'd jumped the gun with Tamara when all signs were pointing towards waiting for the right time, Jimmy paced back and forth within Stark International trying to determine whether he should try to apologize again or not. A panicked Tamara soon ran up to Jimmy and informed him that Robert Takiguchi was missing. Jimmy tried to calm Tamara and asked her recount where she had last seen Robert but their conversation was interrupted by the sound of a loud crash. Investigating, the two found Dr. Takiguchi's cybernetic robot in mindless motion, crashing around the Stark International plant. Tamara quickly deduced that the only person that could be piloting the robot from within was Robert Takiguchi. Concerned that the robot could rupture containers of volatile gas and cause an explosion, Jimmy Woo flagged down a Stark security craft and used it swing into one of the robot's eye-slit command portals in hopes of deactivating it. Frantically flipping switches, Jimmy first accidentally activated the robot's laser sword before finally bringing the robot to a stop and getting Rob Takiguchi to safety. Exiting the robot via an elevator shaft in the robot's leg, Jimmy soon emerged with the slowly recovering Rob. Rob's recovery was interrupted by Dr. Takiguchi, who announced that Godzilla had escaped S.H.I.E.L.D. captivity and that S.H.I.E.L.D. had requested the robot to assist. Asking Tamara to care for the still-recovering Rob, Jimmy ventured back into the robot to pilot it against Godzilla despite Tamara's objections. A few minutes later, however, Jimmy found that the robot's controls were not responding to his brain patterns and the robot remained motionless. A puzzled Jimmy Woo then exited the robot and discussed the matter with Dr. Takiguchi, who deduced that perhaps the robot would only respond to Rob's brain patterns after having been attuned to them previously. While the two continued the discussion, Rob snuck back into the robot and reactivated it, launching it into the air towards S.H.I.E.L.D.'s California base to confront Godzilla.
(Godzilla I#8) - Flying after Rob, who had begun
battling Godzilla inside the robot that was now dubbed Red Ronin, Jimmy
Woo radioed S.H.I.E.L.D. Hugh Howards answered and Jimmy informed him
that a kid was inside Red Ronin, prompting "Dum-Dum" Dugan to take over
the radio and question what he had heard. Jimmy frantically explained
to Dugan that Rob was piloting Red Ronin and had to be stopped before
he was hurt.
(Godzilla I#9) - Jimmy, Tamara and Dr. Takiguchi
caught up to Red Ronin in California just in time for Rob to exit the
robot.
(Godzilla I#10) - As S.H.I.E.L.D. renewed their pursuit of Godzilla in their Helicarrier Behemoth, Rob Takiguchi stayed behind with Jimmy Woo and Tamara Hashioka. While together, Jimmy took advantage of the time to apologize for earlier kissing Tamara without asking. Tamara responded that the kiss had merely startled her and that there was no need to apologize. A smiling Jimmy asked if she really meant her words and Tamara answered that she meant her words if he really meant the kiss. As the two attempted to sort out their possible romantic life, Rob snuck away and linked back up with Red Ronin.
(Godzilla I#13 (fb) - BTS) - Jimmy Woo received a call from Nick Fury that something strange was happening on the moon and recent monster sightings were suspected to be related.
(Godzilla I#13) - Traveling to Salt Lake City in a
helicopter, Jimmy Woo and Tamara Hashioka regrouped with "Dum-Dum"
Dugan and Gabe Jones. Jimmy informed Dugan of the moon situation and
suggested they keep it top secret before Godzilla nearly stepped on
them.
(Godzilla I#14) - A shocked Jimmy Woo was present
with Gabe Jones, Tamara Hashioka and "Dum-Dum" Dugan when the
Mega-Monster Rhiahn decapitated the Red Ronin robot, sending its head
(with Rob Takiguchi inside) bouncing to the ground. When Tamara went
running out onto the battlefield to check on Rob, Jimmy Woo tried to
get Tamara to wait but ultimately chased after Tamara in an effort to
keep her protected. Mega-Monster Triax quickly spotted Jimmy and Tamara
and went after them, only to be held back by "Dum-Dum" Dugan long
enough for Jimmy and Tamara to retrieve the unconscious Rob from Red
Ronin's cockpit. They quickly got a recovering Rob over to the
S.H.I.E.L.D. bivouac unit as Dugan and Gabe Jones boarded S.H.I.E.L.D.
aircraft to assist Godzilla against the Mega-Monsters. From there,
Jimmy witnessed Godzilla destroy the Mega-Monsters and smiled in
victory as Godzilla decapitated Rhiahn with its own Biomech-Blade.
(Godzilla I#15) - In the aftermath of Godzilla's battle against the Mega-Monsters in Salt Lake City, Jimmy watched as "Dum-Dum" Dugan worked with the National Guard for the cleanup from the battle and Dugan soon departed, noting that he would regroup with Jimmy, Tamara and Rob at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier Behemoth after they'd had some rest. The two groups of the Godzilla Squad then departed in separate S.H.I.E.L.D. aircraft, with a worried Rob expressed concern for the repairs of Red Ronin.
(Godzilla I#17) - Later, within the Helicarrier Behemoth, Tamara expressed concern for Rob, who seemed preoccupied with worry about Red Ronin's repairs. After Hugh Howards failed to cheer up Rob, Jimmy Woo tried to ease Rob's worries by trying to assure Rob Red Ronin would be fine but Rob argued that even if S.H.I.E.L.D. and Stark International were able to fix Red Ronin, they would ensure he never piloted the robot again. The silent Jimmy then watched Rob leave the room before admitting to Tamara that he couldn't lie to Rob. Tamara assured Jimmy she understood, noting that Rob was perhaps a bit too old for his age. Jimmy and Tamara later regrouped with the rest of the Godzilla Squad just in time to witness Godzilla get hit with a blast from Henry Pym's Pym Particles. When the shrunken Godzilla ran off, Jimmy helped corner the tiny Godzilla until the Godzilla Squad's Dr. Gladstone Hawkins caught the creature in a net.
(Godzilla I#18) - Watching the caged and shrunken
Godzilla from another room, Jimmy Woo tried to use the down time to
speak with Tamara about their possible romantic relationship but the
preoccupied Tamara commented on how hard to believe it was to see
Godzilla at so tiny a size. When Rob entered Godzilla's room, Tamara
asked Jimmy if he was talking about something and Jimmy just replied
"Not now." When the Helicarrier Behemoth began to touch down in New
York City, Jimmy and most of the Godzilla Squad ventured to the
Helicarrier's bridge and as they subsequently prepared to depart the
Helicarrier into a boat, Dr. Hawkins stumbled and dropped Godzilla's
cage, allowing the tiny Godzilla to escape into the river waters.
(Godzilla I#19) - As the Godzilla Squad split up to search for the escaped Godzilla, Jimmy and Tamara found no sign of the shrunken reptilian creature and they soon returned to the Helicarrier Behemoth to wait for the rest of the Squad as the sun set. Doctors Takiguchi and Hawkins eventually arrived to greet the waiting Jimmy and Tamara with news that they, too, had been unable to locate Godzilla. "Dum-Dum" Dugan and Gabe Jones also arrived shortly thereafter and when Dugan remarked that finding the tiny Godzilla in New York City was like looking for a needle in a haystack, Jimmy replied that Godzilla likely would not be so small by morning as the Pym Particles wore off. Rob appeared in the darkness moments later with a disguised, now-human-sized Godzilla but Godzilla quickly rampaged and the Godzilla Squad struggled to contain him. During the subsequent fight, Tamara referenced Rob luring Godzilla back to the Helicarrier, suggesting to Jimmy that Rob sometimes had all the sense in the world. Jimmy Woo grimly replied with a sarcastic "Yeah."
(Godzilla I#20) - After the Godzilla Squad lost
Godzilla once more, Jimmy was present as "Dum-Dum" Dugan briefed the
team on their plan to locate the creature. When a panicked crowd came
running towards the Helicarrier, Dugan deduced that they must have
encountered Godzilla and he ordered Jimmy to take Tamara and Rob back
to the Helicarrier and make sure they stayed there. Rob argued against
Dugan's orders but reluctantly relented after Dr. Takiguchi scolded him
and he accompanied Jimmy and Tamara back to the Behemoth as the rest of
the Godzilla Squad went after Godzilla.
(Godzilla I#21) - Jimmy and Tamara accompanied the
Godzilla Squad to the Fantastic Four's Baxter Building headquarters,
where Mister Fantastic suggested using Doctor Doom's Time Platform to
transport the recaptured Godzilla to the prehistoric era. Upon hearing
the suggestion, Jimmy noted that sending Godzilla away would shatter
Rob Takiguchi at first but Tamara Hashioka reminded Jimmy that Rob had
always wanted Godzilla to be at peace.
(Godzilla I#22) - After Godzilla was sent into the
prehistoric past of Earth-78411, Jimmy Woo met with Tamara Hashioka in
the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier cafeteria, where he questioned Tamara's
decision to return to Tokyo. Jimmy asked if Tamara could perhaps stay
in America a bit longer but Tamara reminded Jimmy that she was Dr.
Takiguchi's assistant and with the Godzilla problem now solved, she was
needed in Tokyo to help Dr. Takiguchi shift his research into a new
area. Understanding but nonetheless disappointed, the somewhat
heartbroken Jimmy was told by Tamara that she would return to
America...and him...someday.
(Godzilla I#24) - Jimmy Woo was present on the
Behemoth's bridge as S.H.I.E.L.D., the Avengers and the Fantastic Four
were attempting to force to returned Godzilla into the waters outside
New York. When an emotional Rob Takiguchi smashed the Helicarrier's
controls in anger at S.H.I.E.L.D. using force against Godzilla,
"Dum-Dum" Dugan ordered Jimmy and Gabe Jones to get Rob off the bridge.
Jimmy and Gabe quietly got Rob by the arms as Dugan ordered Rob
confined to his quarters. Jimmy was later present on the bridge when
Rob defied orders and ventured outside in an attempt to calm Godzilla
and he subsequently ventured out onto the deck of the Behemoth when Rob
successfully calmed the creature into departing the area.
(Spider-Woman: Origin#3 - BTS) - Following an attack
on Nick Fury by the Hydra agent Spider-Woman and her subsequent facing
of the truth of her background, Fury contacted Jimmy Woo and warned him
that the emotional Spider-Woman was about to run right into Woo's area.
Fury ordered Jimmy to let Spider-Woman through but told Jimmy to follow
her, keeping tabs on her and reporting back to Fury where Spider-Woman
went without directly engaging her. Two hours later, Woo had lost sight
of Spider-Woman and Nick Fury ordered Jasper Sitwell to find her.
(Hulk Comic (UK) I#17 / 4 (fb) - BTS) - Jimmy Woo was
assigned by S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Hong Kong Division, where he worked with
former actress turned special S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Annie Wong. While
there, a fake Bible containing a tape recorder was delivered to Jimmy
by the girlfriend of a man named Peter Chan, who informed Jimmy that
Chan had died trying to get the recorder to Jimmy. Curious as to what
the situation could mean, Jimmy summoned Col. Nick Fury to Hong Kong.
(Hulk Comic (UK) I#17 / 4) - Upon arrival in Hong Kong, Fury asked Jimmy why he had been summoned and Jimmy revealed a Bible, noting that he had an important hunch. When Fury grumbled that he had been summoned all the way to Hong Kong on a hunch, Jimmy revealed that the Bible contained a hidden tape recorder. Jimmy then played back the tape in the recorder and when a confused Fury asked what the sounds were, Annie Wong revealed that it was the soundtrack to a Chinese movie. Jimmy then properly introduced Fury to Wong and Fury began musing about what the tape could mean but his musings were interrupted by a communication from "Dum-Dum" Dugan, who revealed that the main controlling cell of a Sept group had been discovered in Hong Kong. Suspecting that Dugan's information was tied to the movie soundtrack on Jimmy's tape, Fury admitted his theory to Jimmy and Annie Wong that the Sept group controller might be based in a Hong Kong movie studio.
Jimmy and Annie were then sent to
check the various movie studios in the nearby vicinity but Jimmy soon
returned to inform Fury that while most of the studios seemed clean,
the most likely studio that could be housing a Sept group would be the
Ching Bros. studio. Recognizing the studio from her time working in
movies, Annie Wong informed Fury that she was extremely knowledgeable
about the Ching Bros. studio and when she offered to drive Fury over to
the studio, Fury looked over at Jimmy and expressed concern for Annie's
involvement, noting that the mission could prove very dangerous.
Assuring Nick Fury that Annie Wong might surprise Fury, Jimmy joked
that they made some extremely savage movies in Hong Kong.
(Hulk Comic (UK) I#19 / 3) - Following an encounter with the Yellow Claw at the Ching Bros. studio, Nick Fury and Annie Wong escaped the studio moments before the complex exploded and Jimmy Woo arrived on the scene seconds with S.H.I.E.L.D. reinforcements to help clean up. When Jimmy asked Fury if the Sept group was now destroyed, Fury reminded Jimmy that they still had the other Sept cells around the world to clean out before ordering Jimmy to seal the studio off so they could take care of business there the following morning. Fury then walked off with Annie Wong, asking her out to a nightclub, as Jimmy Woo watched and smiled.

(Spider-Woman: Origin#3) - Six months after
Spider-Woman had escaped S.H.I.E.L.D., Jimmy Woo attended a meeting
alongside Jasper Sitwell, "Dum-Dum" Dugan, Sharon Carter, Gabe Jones
and others in which Nick Fury demanded to know where Spider-Woman was
and why they had yet to find her.
(Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. III#25 (fb) - BTS)
- At some point during his time with S.H.I.E.L.D., Jimmy Woo posed with
other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in a group photo.
(Marvel Fanfare I#12 (fb) - BTS) - Jimmy Woo and
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Hong Kong Division were tasked by Nick Fury with
secretly tracking the heroic Black Widow's movements within Hong Kong
and they were ordered to aid her if necessary.
(Marvel Fanfare I#12) - When the Black Widow was
captured by agents of Damon
Dran,
Jimmy Woo led a small S.H.I.E.L.D. group to rescue the Widow, arriving
in time to point a high-power firearm at Iron Maiden and order her to
release Black Widow. Unsure whether the S.H.I.E.L.D. would penetrate
her exoskeleton or not, Iron Maiden reluctantly released Black Widow,
promising things were not over between them, before plowing her way
through Jimmy and his agents. Despite Jimmy and the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents
firing on the swift Iron Maiden, the assassin escaped and a recovering
Black Widow asked who Jimmy was. Jimmy quickly introduced himself as
part of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Hong Kong Division, explaining his task of
secretly tracking and aiding Black Widow, before excusing himself to go
after Iron Maiden. Black Widow assured Jimmy there was no rush to go
after Iron Maiden, as she had placed a homing device on the assassin.
A short time later, Jimmy Woo
drove Black Widow in his Porsche 911S, informing the heroine that the
other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were report back to Nick Fury while he
continued assisting Black Widow in tracking down Iron Maiden. Tracking
Iron Maiden south in the downtown area, Jimmy and Black Widow found
themselves at a dead end with an open manhole cover. Jimmy immediately
went down into the manhole despite Black Widow's suggestion that she go
first, being more equipped to handle Iron Maiden. Jimmy assured the
Widow that he was more than able to take care of himself and he
reminded Black Widow that he had S.H.I.E.L.D. jurisdiction there
despite the Widow's celebrity status. Venturing into the maze-like
sewer system, Jimmy and Black Widow were soon hit by a blast of water
from a large pipe and as they struggled to their feet, Iron Maiden
revealed her suspicions that they would follow her. Iron Maiden then
attacked the Black Widow but Jimmy attempted to halt the fight by
destroying the chunk of stone Iron Maiden was using as a weapon. When
Jimmy followed up the blast with a threat to fire on Iron Maiden
herself, Iron Maiden laughed that Jimmy alone could not harm her and
the Widow instead suggested Jimmy fire at the concrete beneath Iron
Maiden. Realizing Black Widow's plan, Jimmy did just that, blasting a
hole in the sewer floor that pulled the water, and Iron Maiden with it
due to the weight of her armor, down into a whirlpool. Admitting being
impressed at Black Widow's suggestion, Jimmy apologized for his earlier
comment about his jurisdiction. With Iron Maiden now gone, Jimmy
suggested they investigate the nearby sewer system to check for a
reason Iron Maiden was using the sewers as a base and together, they
ventured into a dark tunnel, where Jimmy was taken down in the darkness
followed by Black Widow at the hands of the villainous Snapdragon.
(Marvel Fanfare I#13) - After Black Widow was
defeated and captured by Snapdragon, Jimmy Woo was left laying
unconscious on the sewer floor until a Black Widow double working for
Damon Dran revived him. With no knowledge of the double and no reason
to suspect the Black Widow, Jimmy accepted the lie from the Black Widow
double that a man now pinned to the wall had been who had attacked them
in the darkness. The double then made up a story to get both herself
and Jimmy back to the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, where the double
secretly had orders to murder Nick Fury. Unaware of any subterfuge and
that he was working with an impostor, Jimmy Woo accompanied the Black
Widow double out of the sewers and towards the Helicarrier. Boarding a
shuttlecraft, Jimmy and the Black Widow double docked at the
S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, where Jimmy changed into his S.H.I.E.L.D.
uniform and regrouped with Nick Fury. Before the Black Widow double
could assassinate Fury, however, the real Black Widow transmitted a
communication to the Helicarrier proclaiming the Widow with Woo to be
an impostor and suggesting S.H.I.E.L.D. check the double's wrists for
injuries the real Widow suffered in a recent attack on a Russian
facility. When Jimmy turned to question the double, the Black Widow
double attacked Jimmy and Nick Fury. Jimmy and Fury both dodged the
attack and Nick Fury returned fire, killing the Black Widow double in
self-defense as Jimmy pulled his own gun.
(Secret War: From the Files of Nick Fury - BTS) -
Jimmy Woo's actions assisting Black Widow earned him the enmity of the
indestructible Damon Dran.
(Nick Fury vs. S.H.I.E.L.D.#6 (fb) - BTS) - The rogue
LMD later known as the Deltite decided other personalities from
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s LMD persona tapes to his own mind and as he reviewed the
various persona tapes, he came upon Jimmy Woo and numerous others whose
personalities were store on tape to be placed inside LMDs.
(Nick Fury vs. S.H.I.E.L.D.#1 (fb) - BTS) - As part of the Deltite's Project: Delta program, the Roxxon Corporation gathered personnel files on numerous S.H.I.E.L.D. agents including Jimmy Woo. Eventually, Jimmy Woo was captured and subsequently replaced by a Deltan-model LMD.
(Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. III#43 (fb) - BTS) - The real Jimmy Woo was placed in stasis in the lower depths of S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters and others soon joined him as they were similarly replaced by LMDs.
(Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. III#44 (fb) - BTS)
- While in stasis, Jimmy Woo and other replaced S.H.I.E.L.D. were
brainwashed into serving the terrorist Hydra organization.
(Nick Fury vs. S.H.I.E.L.D.#1 - BTS) - When
S.H.I.E.L.D. sleeper agent Jack
Rollins
met with Nick Fury to inform him about his findings on Project: Delta,
Rollins showed Fury the files Roxxon had gathered, including the one
for Jimmy Woo.
(Nick Fury vs. S.H.I.E.L.D.#2 - BTS) - Unaware that Jimmy Woo had been replaced by a LMD, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Jasper Sitwell suggested to his fellow agents that Woo seemed to be acting very distant.
(Nick Fury vs. S.H.I.E.L.D.#3 - BTS) - Equally
unaware that Woo had been replaced, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s CIA liaison Al
MacKenzie visited S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters to confront "Woo" and
"Jasper
Sitwell" (both actually Deltan-model LMDs posing as humans)
about their recent loss of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier's power core,
at which point the LMD Sitwell terminated MacKenzie's liaison position
and had the LMD Woo show MacKenzie out. Still thinking the Woo LMD to
be real Jimmy Woo, Al MacKenzie was still being led out when Agent
John
Allen
interrupted to inform "Woo" on major abuses in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s ESPer
Division. "Woo" had guards continue escorting the now-curious MacKenzie
to the surface while he departed to lead Allen to acting director
"Jasper Sitwell" for a briefing on what Allen had uncovered. Later,
after Al MacKenzie rescued John Allen from being killed by S.H.I.E.L.D.
agents for what he knew, the two, still unaware that Woo and other
S.H.I.E.L.D. agents had been replaced with LMDs, began working together
and visited Big Jake's Diner to discuss what they knew, figuring that
the fugitive Nick Fury must have uncovered something big and Allen as
well if "Sitwell" and "Woo" tried to have him killed. A S.H.I.E.L.D.
agent at the diner soon apprehended MacKenzie and Allen and when they
were sent back to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, they were met by an Eric
Koenig
LMD
and the now seemingly aging Jimmy Woo LMD and, still
thinking the LMD to be the real Jimmy Woo, Al MacKenzie was shocked to
see what had happened to "Woo." During a later attack on a
S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury encountered the aged Jimmy Woo LMD and, unsure
of what was going on, he captured and interrogated the Eric Koenig LMD
about what he thought had happened to the real Woo, soon learning that
the answers to Fury's questions lay in Hong Kong.
(Nick Fury vs. S.H.I.E.L.D.#5 (fb) - BTS) - Having witnessed who he thought was Jimmy Woo aging terribly, Nick Fury deduced that S.H.I.E.L.D. wanted to capture him for the Infinity Formula flowing through his veins.
(Nick Fury vs. S.H.I.E.L.D.#5 - BTS) - Still not quite realizing that the aged Jimmy Woo he had encountered was not the real Woo, the now-captured Fury was brought before the Encoders, LMD followers of Project: Delta, who revealed how S.H.I.E.L.D., Hydra and A.I.M. were all being manipulated by their master. Admitting to one of the Encoders that he deduced that the Infinity Formula was needed from his blood after seeing who he thought was Jimmy Woo age terribly, Fury was then taken alongside his allies up to the orbiting S.H.I.E.L.D. Satellite.
(Nick Fury vs. S.H.I.E.L.D.#6 - BTS) - As Fury was
experimented on in an effort to synthesize the Infinity Formula from
his bloodstream, he noticed Delta's master, the Deltite, with the
Jasper Sitwell and Jimmy Woo LMDs and, still not realizing they were
not the true people he knew, the weakened Fury asked what the Deltite
had done to them. The Deltite willingly explained his plans to replace
humans with Deltan-model LMDs and how he'd went through S.H.I.E.L.D.'s
persona tapes on Jimmy Woo and numerous others to create his own
personality mix of the deceased Baron Strucker, Countessa Valentina
Allegro de Fontaine, Sidney Levine, Nick Fury himself and others.

III#20 - BTS) - Following the destruction of the Deltite and the dissolution of the original S.H.I.E.L.D. organization, Nick Fury's reorganized S.H.I.E.L.D. reviewed their computer records on the Deltite's replacement of key S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel such as Jimmy Woo and Jasper Sitwell as they worked to iron out the glitches in their system.
(Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. III#25 - BTS) - In his quarters, Nick Fury took out a S.H.I.E.L.D. group photo with Jimmy Woo, Sidney Levine and Clay Quartermain in it and, still assuming they had all died in the Deltite conflict, Fury spoke to the memory of his friends and assured them that he was slowly bringing S.H.I.E.L.D. back as a testament to everything they had worked for.
(Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. III#43 (fb) - BTS)
- Eventually, the still-living Jimmy Woo, Clay Quartermain, Sidney
Levine and Jasper Sitwell escaped their stasis pods within the former
S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters. When a small group of other brainwashed
S.H.I.E.L.D. agents equally escaped their stasis pods, Jimmy Woo,
Sidney Levine and Jasper Sitwell took on the roles of a three-person
ruling council to control the actions of Clay Quartermain and the other
freed but brainwashed agents.
(Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. III#43) - When Nick
Fury arrived at the former S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters seeking answers,
the mentally addled Clay Quartermain spotted him and reported his
findings to Woo and the rest of the brainwashed ruling council. After
Quartermain reported Nick Fury in the base, Woo and the rest of the
council ordered Fury brought before them and his allies Red and Lump
killed.

III#44) - After Fury brought Quartermain and most of the other still-in-stasis S.H.I.E.L.D. back to his new S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters for deprogramming and release from stasis, Woo and the rest of the ruling council tracked Fury and gathered together another squad of brainwashed S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to attack Fury. As part of this plot against Fury, Woo and the others relocated to a Laurentian Highlands Hydra base and when Fury and Captain America arrived to investigate the base, Jimmy Woo and the other escaped brainwashed S.H.I.E.L.D. confronted the duo. Fury and Cap fought back and when Captain America tried to reason with Jimmy while attacking, Jimmy parried Captain America's attack and countered with a kick. Insisting Woo was not himself, Captain America uppercutted Jimmy with his shield. Fury and Cap soon defeated all of the brainwashed S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in the Hydra base.
(Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. III#47 (fb) - BTS)
- Jimmy Woo and the other brainwashed S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were
successfully deprogrammed and they rejoined S.H.I.E.L.D.

Baron Strucker. Upon arrival at Strucker's castle fortress, Jimmy
joined the other agents in donning S.H.I.E.L.D. flying armor and they
rocketed to ground level to engage Hydra forces and rescue the captive

Quartermain (then affected by the cosmic Goddess)
assured Fury that he was mentally capable of saving lives, prompting
Alexander Pierce to question Woo on how they used to keep from puking
every time Quartermain opened his mouth. Woo replied that they never
listened to him, to which Pierce suggested was a good plan.
(Captain America I#420) - Jimmy Woo joined a
S.H.I.E.L.D. squadron in assisting Captain America in storming the Red
Skull's Colorado Rockies headquarters. Woo and the other agents of
S.H.I.E.L.D. battled the Red Skull's Skull Troopers while Captain
America got inside the compound. While Captain America was inside,
S.H.I.E.L.D. defeated the Skull Troopers and Woo and the others helped

heard about one another for a long time, Jimmy Woo and Shang-Chi met
and Shang-Chi could easily sense Jimmy's excitement at the potential
for camaraderie despite suspecting he would disappoint Jimmy due to

organization in various capacities, including a brief stint as a
Secretary of State within the US State Department.
(Elektra II#2) - Jimmy Woo was present with Nick Fury
and "Dum-Dum" Dugan as Fury met with S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Stanley
Dreyfuss, who had been assigned to a mission in which the ninja Elektra
was to kill the Iraqi dictator. While there, Jimmy received a paper
through the KR-8 and turned it over to Fury, who was beginning to
suspect Elektra had performed some sort of ninja mind-wiping technique
on the hapless Dreyfuss. Upon mention of the word "ninja," Fury
suddenly suspected that Elektra could be stealthily hiding among them
and when he asked her to show herself, Elektra appeared in a nearby
window, prompting Woo and the other agents to draw their weapons. Fury
ordered them to lower the weapons and spoke to Elektra, demanding to
know whether she was in or out on the mission. When Elektra tried to
get Fury to admit the mission was illegal and that she was being used
as a patsy, Fury ignored her question and Elektra disappeared from the
scene, surprising Woo and the other agents, whom Fury then ordered to
fan out to find Elektra.
(Secret War: From the Files of Nick Fury (fb) - BTS)
- The aging Jimmy Woo, still with no criminal record, eventually became
a level 3 S.H.I.E.L.D. interrogator and was considered one of the best
S.H.I.E.L.D. ever had, using his own anger and personal strife to aid
his interrogations. When fellow S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Jasper Sitwell fell
into a slump, he was partnered with Jimmy and the two developed a
working chemistry with Woo even occasionally adopting some of Sitwell's
humor during interrogations. Their interrogation tapes became commonly
checked out by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents for their humor. Together, Sitwell
and Woo were known to have cracked more subjects than Nick Fury could
even imagine. As S.H.I.E.L.D. began their Circuit project to
investigate technological supervillains and the benefactors, Woo and
Sitwell became invaluable in interrogating tech-based villains such as
an unidentified new Hobgoblin. When they interrogated the bear-themed
Grizzly, whom Woo and Sitwell were unaware was trying and failing to
turn over a new leaf, Woo and Sitwell poked fun at Grizzly's costumed
theme. They also poked fun at Grizzly's former occupation as a
wrestler, with Woo joking that he once had Grizzly action figures and
the "Action Wrestling Ring." When Woo claimed to recall Grizzly
throwing "the Iron Curtain" into the crowd, Grizzly corrected Woo on
the wrestler's name, reminding him that it was actually the "Steel
Curtain," at which point Woo turned the narrative into how many times
the Grizzly had been beaten up since then. Shortly after Grizzly tried
to explain how he had been trying to go straight and how he had helped
Spider-Man stop a robbery by the
White Rabbit,
Woo was called into the observation booth by Val de Fontaine and
returned shortly after to inform Sitwell that Grizzly was telling the
truth about trying to help stop the robbery. Sitwell then asked Grizzly
to help identify an old man that had been helping supply tech-based
criminals and Woo soon reentered the interrogation room to suggest
getting the Grizzly down to the S.H.I.E.L.D. records room to get
cracking on identifying the benefactor per Grizzly's descriptions.
Their interrogation of the Grizzly and other tech-based criminals such
as the new Jack o'Lantern posing as the deceased Jason Macendale, Jr.
soon helped S.H.I.E.L.D. identify the Tinkerer as the probable
benefactor for several criminals.
(Secret War I#1 (fb)) - After supervillain Killer
Shrike was apprehended by the Avengers, Jimmy Woo and Jasper Sitwell,
dressed in civilian attire, interrogated Killer Shrike, laughing when
the criminal requested a
lawyer. When Killer Shrike commented on his knowledge of his rights,
Woo and Sitwell became serious and revealed all of the information they
knew about Killer Shrike's background before questioning how Killer
Shrike could afford the maintenance and upkeep on his weapons. They
then demanded to know who bankrolled the criminal and when Killer
Shrike kept claiming that the "feds" couldn't take away his rights, Woo
asked why the Shrike kept referring to them as federal agents. Killer
Shrike then realized he was being interrogated by S.H.I.E.L.D agents
and as they continued interrogating the criminal, the Shrike tried to
get them to back away from him, at which point Jimmy pinned Killer
Shrike's head down on the table and demanded the name of who was
funding the criminal. Jimmy then shoved Killer Shrike against the wall
as both he and Sitwell warned Killer Shrike of what might happen to him
in prison. Killer Shrike eventually agreed to give up a name in
exchange for S.H.I.E.L.D. keeping his out of Ryker's Island prison. Not
long after, Jimmy Woo and Jasper Sitwell convinced Killer Shrike to
return to his benefactor, the Tinkerer, while Woo and Sitwell listened
from a nearby van. When Killer Shrike was electrocuted trying to enter
the Tinkerer's headquarters in Philadelphia, Woo and Sitwell rushed out
of the van and ordered waiting S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to contain the area.
(Secret War: From the Files of Nick Fury (fb) - BTS)
- S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Johnny Rogers publicly covered up the incident
using his post as the editor for the Philadelphia
Enquirer
newspaper
and when Nick Fury reviewed the incident in the S.H.I.E.L.D. Operations
Database computer, he made a note to speak with Jimmy Woo and Jasper
Sitwell about the not-so-great handling of the operation, suggesting
they should perhaps stay in the interrogation room. While subsequently
reviewing Jimmy Woo's S.H.I.E.L.D. file, Nick Fury suggested anyone
looking at Woo's birth date to ignore his age, noting his recent 98%
success rate at interrogations and how Woo and Sitwell's interrogations
had led to Fury finding a connection between criminal benefactor Tinker
and Latverian prime minister Lucia
von
Bardas.
(Secret War I#1) - One year later, Jimmy Woo was present at a higher-level S.H.I.E.L.D. meeting in which Sharon Carter discussed recent terrorist activity and an attack on Luke Cage in Harlem.
(Secret War: From the Files of Nick Fury - BTS) - While Jimmy Woo was on vacation, Jasper Sitwell was left to update the S.H.I.E.L.D. on the tech-based new Diamondback (Debbie Bertrand) alone. Noting that he had the fill in the file by himself, Sitwell expressed interest in taking a vacation himself when Woo returned to work.
(Marvel Monsters: From the Files of Ulysses Bloodstone & the Monster Hunters - BTS) - Monster hunter Elsa Bloodstone wrote a blog entry on her BlogStone website regarding the Red Ronin robot and how it was initially shut down by Jimmy Woo.
(Agents of Atlas I#1 (fb)) - Having been a part of
the S.H.I.E.L.D. directorate for years, the always-reliable Jimmy Woo
moved into a new position as a subdirector, albeit at a desk. While in
this position, Woo recommended his old ally Gorilla-Man for
S.H.I.E.L.D. and when Gorilla-Man accepted the offer, an Eagle
directive prevented Jimmy from speaking to Gorilla-Man. Eventually, Woo
began to suspect his old foe the Yellow Claw of being behind the
subversive Atlas Foundation organization and he
formed a secret strike force comprised of disenfranchised and problem
S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to attack the Atlas Foundation. Arranging for the
rogue agents to meet him in San Francisco, Woo led them into the
basement of a Chinatown building, where Agent Case
began to have doubts. An annoyed Woo reminded the agents that he was
giving them a chance to prove themselves by exposing the Atlas
Foundation before walking up to the Atlas entrance and uttering the
word "Temujin." A secret passage opened up and Woo and the agents
spotted the
Spirit
Banner of Temujin
before being assaulted by Atlas forces, Agents Hall and Munoz taking
shrapnel in the fight.
(Agents of Atlas I#5 (fb)) - Woo and the remaining
rogue agents ventured further into the Atlas headquarters, where Woo
informed the agents that their final test would be one of fire. One of
the agents suggested they needed more agents but Woo argued against it,
claiming that the Atlas Foundation had someone within S.H.I.E.L.D.
(Agents of Atlas I#1 (fb)) - When the dragon Mister
Lao appeared, a large
explosion followed and the badly burned Jimmy sent out a distress call
to S.H.I.E.L.D.
(Agents of Atlas I#6 (fb) - BTS) - The Atlas
Foundation became newly aware of Jimmy Woo's continued existence during
his attack on the Foundation's hidden temple and fearing losing Atlas'
legacy, they came to his aid.
(Agents of Atlas I#6 (fb)) - The Yellow Claw and one
of his agents found the dying Jimmy Woo and gave him oxygen. The Claw's
servant soon realized S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were approaching the entrance
to the Atlas Foundation's headquarters and the Claw ordered his servant
to do what he could for Jimmy to ensure he survived before taking Woo
back topside so S.H.I.E.L.D. could find Woo rather than the Atlas
temple.
(Agents of Atlas I#1 (fb) - BTS) - By the time the
rest of the S.H.I.E.L.D. arrived, all
but Woo himself had been killed in the attack on Atlas and they found
Woo barely alive, a photo of Woo's group posing with Dwight Eisenhower
left
beside his body.
(Agents of Atlas I#3 (fb) - BTS) - The Human Robot,
surviving from Woo's 1950s group into the modern day, tracked down the
Gorilla-Man on a S.H.I.E.L.D. forest recon mission and informed him
that Jimmy Woo was in critical condition at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Mojave
Desert headquarters. The Robot also informed the Gorilla-Man's help was
requested for the retrieval of Jimmy Woo during the upcoming
S.H.I.E.L.D. questioning of Gorilla-Man, suggesting that the
Gorilla-Man contact his old teammate Marvel Boy for assistance.
(Agents of Atlas I#3 (fb)) - Minutes later,
Gorilla-Man was summoned by S.H.I.E.L.D. for questioning and before he
departed, he sent a message to Marvel Boy informing him of what little
he knew of Jimmy Woo's condition and Marvel Boy agreed to return to
Earth to help Jimmy.
(Agents of Atlas I#1) - S.H.I.E.L.D. briefed the
Gorilla-Man, the only one of Woo's 1950s group that they could locate
at the time,
on what had happened to Jimmy, revealing their suspicions that Jimmy
had tired of desk work and simply wanted to see some action. Agent
Derek Khanata informed Gorilla-Man that when the S.H.I.E.L.D. squad
responded to Woo's distress call, it appeared as if someone had
performed basic first aid on Woo and had given him oxygen. When they
explained how the photo of the Woo's old group had been left at the
scene, Khanata remarked that it appeared as if whoever Woo had
encountered had not only wanted S.H.I.E.L.D. to learn about Woo's
classified 1950s group but also wanted Woo to remain alive.
(Agents of Atlas I#1 / Atlas I#2 (fb)) - Gorilla-Man
asked if he could see the burned Jimmy and he was soon led into Jimmy's
infirmary room, where the horribly burned Jimmy was being kept on life
support. A doctor explained that Woo had no higher brain function and
that he was unable to breathe on his own but Derek Khanata ordered the
doc not to pull life support yet, as he wanted Woo alive.
(Agents of Atlas I#1) - "Dum-Dum"
Dugan suggested Khanata let Jimmy go, commenting that he knew it was
tough losing a good man and remarking on his own long history with Woo,
but Khanata replied that, while Woo's recovery would be some sort of
miracle, he simply wanted Jimmy to remain alive long enough for Khanata
to complete his investigation of the events that led to Woo's
situation. Dugan admitted that it was just as well, as Woo's actions
would likely lead to a court-martial and military imprisonment anyway.
Khanata and Dugan then left Gorilla-Man to spend some time with Woo and
as they departed the room, asking Gorilla-Man to remain on the
S.H.I.E.L.D. base until the investigation was complete, Gorilla-Man bid
them goodbye and whispered the word "proceed."
Later that night, Gorilla-Man
rendezvoused with his former teammate, the Human Robot, and together
they stormed their way into the S.H.I.E.L.D. infirmary, from where they
kidnapped the unconscious Jimmy Woo. When the rest of S.H.I.E.L.D.
rushed in to stop Gorilla-Man and the Human Robot, another former
teammate, Marvel Boy, arrived in his Uranian spacecraft and pulled
Gorilla-Man, the Human Robot and Jimmy Woo into his ship with a tractor
beam, leaving the baffled S.H.I.E.L.D. agents on the ground. As they
flew off, Derek Khanata arrived on the scene, having been contacted
about the situation, and he deduced Marvel Boy's involvement. Shortly
after, Khanata and Dugan went over the footage of the kidnapping and
Dugan admitted Khanata had been right to be curious about Woo's 1958
mission, at which point Khanata revealed he had not found any
information on the Atlas Foundation that Woo had mentioned in the video
of his recent rogue mission. Unbeknownst to S.H.I.E.L.D., Marvel Boy
then used Uranian technology in an attempt to revive Jimmy. He quickly
discovered that too many mental pathways had been lost when Jimmy was
burned so Marvel Boy restored Jimmy to the form and mind of Marvel
Boy's last mental impression of him from the 1950s.
(X-Men vs. Agents of Atlas#1 (fb) - BTS) - During
Jimmy Woo's rejuvenation, Marvel Boy placed a transponder inside Woo
that would allow Marvel Boy to telepathically track Woo if needed.
(Agents of Atlas I#1) - A very confused and completely rejuvenated Jimmy Woo soon awoke in Marvel Boy's ship and as he came to, Gorilla-Man wondered aloud if Jimmy might be able to tell them what had happened to him but Marvel Boy revealed to his allies that Jimmy had been restored to Marvel Boy's last mental impression of him.
(Agents of Atlas I#2 (fb) - BTS) - Not recalling
anything post-1959 and after being told his last mission had cost the
lives of several S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, the now-youthful Jimmy Woo
accompanied Gorilla-Man, the Human Robot and Marvel Boy to his own
home, where he hoped to gather some clothes and investigate his home to
look for clues about his last mission.
(Agents of Atlas I#2) - After discussing Woo's status
with "Dum-Dum" Dugan, Derek Khanata also visited Jimmy Woo's home to
search for evidence as to why Woo had went rogue and while there, he
was confronted by Gorilla-Man, the Human Robot and Marvel Boy. Before
Khanata could report the attack, the youthful Jimmy Woo emerged from
his bedroom, noting that most of his clothes still fit and how he had
found a handgun. Completely unaware of what had transpired in his life
since the late 1950s, the rejuvenated Woo introduced himself to Derek
Khanata, who was amazed to see Jimmy not only looking youthful again
but also not burned. Gorilla-Man explained how Khanata worked for
S.H.I.E.L.D. but Jimmy Woo didn't recall his decades with the
organization, admitting that the last thing he recalled was saying
goodbye to Marvel Boy when his 1950s group disbanded. When Khanata
asked if there might be any memories buried deep inside Woo's mind, Woo
revealed that he could not recall anything after 1959 and that he had
actually returned home to investigate his last mission. Marvel Boy soon
hurried the group along due to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s continued investigation
of the perimeter, taking a mental recording of the home for later
review, and as Gorilla-Man and Khanata discussed working together to
uncover details of Woo's last mission, Jimmy himself ventured into his
garage and found his vintage 1950s automobile. Unaware they were all
being watched by the Yellow Claw, Jimmy and his allies tried to talk
Derek Khanata out of joining them but when Khanata mentioned knowledge
of where their former teammate Venus was, Woo agreed to let Khanata tag
along and warned Khanata against lying. The group was soon all packed
up into Marvel Boy's spaceship and as they traveled, Khanata and Woo
discussed the virtual reality interface that Marvel Boy was using to
fly the ship until Marvel Boy showed everyone their quarters and
projected the recording of Jimmy's home into his room so Jimmy could
review the data and investigate what was in his home.
Jimmy reviewed some of his notes and Derek Khanata helped him determine what some of it was until Jimmy suggested they all rest up before their arrival in Africa. A few seconds before touchdown, everyone was assembled to exit Marvel Boy's ship and they were greeted in Africa by Derek Khanata's cousin Kal'ti, who led them to another teammate, Venus, who had been living in the previously war-torn village and keeping the peace. Venus immediately announced a feast in honor of Jimmy Woo and his allies but a suspicious Jimmy excused himself for a moment. Venturing out into nearby fields, Jimmy sensed something off and demanded the Yellow Claw show himself, remarking that he could always tell when he was being watched by the Claw. Seemingly appearing on cue, the Yellow Claw (secretly a robot duplicate broadcasting the true Claw's voice) sent Atlas agents after Jimmy Woo.
(Agents of Atlas I#3) - Jimmy fought off the Claw's
Atlas agents and a laughing "Yellow Claw"
remarked that Jimmy hadn't changed at all before turning his
automatonic agents to dust. When Jimmy admitted that he had heard the
Claw had been in hiding for years and asked why the Claw had returned,
the "Claw" announced that he had returned because Jimmy had returned.
Jimmy immediately demanded to know if the Yellow Claw was behind the
Atlas Foundation and the" Claw" calmly replied in the affirmative
before revealing himself to be nothing more than a robotic double by
extending metallic tentacles to capture Jimmy. Marvel Boy happened to
walk into the fight moments later and Jimmy asked what the Claw's
Master Plan was, to which the robot refused to solve the mystery for
Jimmy, noting only that Jimmy had never asked what the Claw's real name
was. The Gorilla-Man arrived moments later and tackled the robot, which
smilingly gloated that he had to prepare for the impending invasion of
Jimmy Woo's assemblage. The robot then exploded, expressing confidence
in Jimmy's success as it incinerated, leaving a confused Jimmy to
wonder if his worst enemy had just given him a pep talk. The siren
Venus soon arrived on the scene as well with Derek Khanata, the Human
Robot and Kal'ti and Jimmy quickly explained that the Yellow Claw had
returned. Marvel Boy then revealed that Kal'ti had informed
S.H.I.E.L.D. of their location, prompting the Gorilla-Man to slap Derek
Khanata in the back of the head before Jimmy reminded them all that
Khanata had helped them find Venus, whom he invited to assist them
against the Claw.
A short time later, as the
group returned to San Francisco, Derek Khanata asked Jimmy how he had
originally come up with the roster for his 1950s team and Jimmy
explained how the roster had come to him in a dream. Admitting that he
had dreamed of the Atlantean Namora, who declined to join but directed
them to the Human Robot, Jimmy was soon surprised to see the city
traffic and wondered if perhaps they were evacuating the city.
Gorilla-Man explained traffic had simply gotten worse during Jimmy's
lost memories and as Gorilla-Man drove the rest of the way, Jimmy
wondered aloud how Namora was doing, only to be informed that Namora
had died years earlier. Derek Khanata eventually led Jimmy and his
allies to the spot where the older Jimmy and the rogue S.H.I.E.L.D.
agents had accessed the underground, where Jimmy briefly pulled a gun
on someone using a cellphone due to misunderstanding the phone for some
sort of 1950s spy device. Khanata then showed Woo and his allies where
S.H.I.E.L.D. had found the corpses of the rogue agents and when he
mentioned that the video footage seemed to show the rogue agents
venturing past the wall they found themselves at, Woo ordered the Human
Robot to remove the wall. The group found nothing but an empty room
behind the wall and Woo suggested they get coffee at It's Top Diner,
leaving the Human Robot behind to guard in case anyone returned to the
scene.
Once they were in the diner
without the Human Robot, Woo asked Gorilla-Man how the Human Robot had
reunited with him and the Gorilla-Man. After Gorilla-Man explained how
the Human Robot had just appeared to him to informed of the injury of
the aged Jimmy Woo, Jimmy noted that the Human Robot had always been
hard to read but had always done what Jimmy had requested of him rather
than having its own agenda. When they all noticed Human Robot
subsequently walking up the street, Jimmy and his allies rushed outside
and asked the Robot where it was going, to which it replied that it was
proceeding to the Arctic Circle and announced that Namora was not dead.
Woo soon convinced the Human Robot to return to Marvel Boy's saucer so
they could all investigate rather than having the Robot walk the entire
Pacific Ocean itself. Along the way to the Arctic Circle, Jimmy
returned to the virtual reproduction of his home office in hopes of
finding more information as to what was occurring with the Claw, the
Atlas Foundation and the Human Robot's strange behavior. While Woo
reviewed his own notes regarding the Atlas Foundation, a Mr. Lao, a
Golden Horde and a Master Plan, Gorilla-Man discussed with Marvel Boy
about any possible restoration of his humanity using the same technique
Marvel Boy had used to restore Jimmy's youth but Marvel Boy explained
why he could not since the Gorilla-Man had been a gorilla as long as
Marvel Boy had known him. Woo calmed the argument but asked Marvel Boy
to relate his own life since 1959 so the rest of the group could
understand him better. Marvel Boy agreed and telepathically related his
life since the 1950s, stopping when they arrived at the Arctic Circle.
Marvel Boy then had everyone don Uranian space suits to protect them
from the ocean pressures as they prepared to investigate Namora's
status. Jimmy and his group allowed Derek Khanata to send a brief
report back to S.H.I.E.L.D. using the Human Robot and Khanata informed
"Dum-Dum" Dugan of their mission to uncover the truth about the Atlas
Foundation. Before the communication ended, Dugan asked Khanata if Woo
was doing okay and when Khanata replied that Woo was in great shape,
Dugan chuckled and remarked "all right." Jimmy and his allies then
ventured down into the ocean, where they found a decrepit corpse
resembling Namora.
(Agents of Atlas I#4) - Unaware that they were being
watched from afar by the Yellow Claw, Jimmy Woo and his squad assumed
Namora was dead but when Jimmy solemnly remarked that Namora's coffin
must have been broken over the years, Marvel Boy determined that the
corpse they saw appeared to be a holographic projection. When he
disabled it, Namora's true preserved status was revealed and the Human
Robot began projecting a beam into the ice surrounding Namora as large
sea creatures attacked, having been alerted by the disabling of the
hologram. Woo and his allies struggled to hold back the creatures as
the Human Robot continued projecting his beam onto Namora and just as
Woo and his allies were beginning to fall, Namora sprung to life and
rescued them. Amazed to see Namora back among the living, Jimmy quickly
got Namora back to Marvel Boy's saucer when she collapsed in exhaustion
moments after killing the sea creature guards. Once she had recovered,
Namora was happy to see her old allies but when she remarked in
disbelief that Woo's old group was still together after decades, Woo
revealed how he had fumbled a mission and had to be brought back from
the brink of death much like Namora herself. Jimmy then took Namora
into another room and brought her up to speed about the group getting
back together and his deep investigation into the Atlas Foundation.
Realizing the magnitude of how he had gotten his last group killed,
Jimmy soon confronted his old teammates and expressed a concern to go
after the Atlas Foundation alone rather than risk the lives of another
group of allies but his friends assured him that they would remain by
his side and that he was no longer going after Atlas with a group of
rogue S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.
The next morning, Woo and his
allies decided to start investigating supposed Atlas front companies,
with their unlikely first stop being Atlas Nursery. Brandishing his old
FBI credentials, Jimmy Woo was questioned as the legitimacy of his
outdated credentials and as he was checking out a large plant, the
plant, resembling a large venus fly trap, snatched up Jimmy. The
Nursery employees then pulled guns but Venus incapacitated them as
Namora freed Jimmy. The group next investigated Atlas Mortuary and
stumbled into Atlas raising the dead, whom Jimmy quickly ordered
re-killed by the Human Robot. They next investigated Atlas Biotech,
where Jimmy and his allies discovered Atlas was recreating dinosaurs.
Jimmy held the Atlas Biotech employees at gunpoint while he allies
handled the dinosaurs. Traveling next to Atlas Orphanage, Jimmy and his
allies encountered a group of psychic children that attacked them,
sensing their desire to shut down the orphanage. Marvel Boy managed to
overcome the children and Jimmy captured the orphanage's headmaster,
leaving them all for S.H.I.E.L.D. to take into custody. Over the
following week, Jimmy and his teammates investigated several Atlas
front companies including Atlas Records, Atlas Vineyards, Atlas
Munitions and Atlas Dairy, which proved to be legit and not a front.
When they investigated Atlas Comics, Jimmy Woo also determined they
were legitimate before they moved on to Atlas Novelties. At the Atlas
Academy of Martial Arts, Jimmy, Gorilla-Man and Namora suggested the
others stay outside while they took down the building. They then
investigated Famous Atlas' Cookies followed by Atlas Auto, where Jimmy
picked up some parts for his classic Edsel before they took down Atlas
Mining.
Following such a busy week, Jimmy
and his allies investigated a shipping company that turned out to be
Atlas Foundation pirates and when Namora appeared perturbed by Venus'
abilities, Jimmy suggested they all take an afternoon break at the
nearby Fiji Islands. The group relaxed at the beach, with Jimmy
jokingly kicking water at Venus while the others relaxed, until they
noticed something bothering Namora. When she walked off, Jimmy and
Venus attempted to follow but Namora quickly outpaced them and both
Jimmy and Venus ended up stopping at a Chinese vendor of Terra Cotta
warrior figures. The vendor soon referred to Jimmy as Woo Yen Jet and a
surprised Jimmy asked the vendor how he knew Jimmy's Chinese name. When
the vendor replied by asking Jimmy to state the man's name, Jimmy
realized the vendor was a disguised Yellow Claw and the Claw snapped
his fingers, causing the Terra Cotta warriors to enlarge and animate.
The Claw then warned that he had six thousand of the animated Terra
Cotta warriors ready to attack the Hunan province. Jimmy immediately
summoned of the rest of his group and when he warned them against the
Yellow Claw, the Claw claimed that name was just a title and warned
Jimmy against using western slurs, instead proclaiming his true title
to be the Golden Claw.
Jimmy and his allies battled the Terra Cotta warriors and when Jimmy announced that they had the Claw, the Claw gloated that while Jimmy had a great destiny, he had never caught the Claw and never would. Following the destruction of the clay soldiers and the escape of the now-Golden Claw, Jimmy suggested they all head back to San Francisco. While the rest of the team was boarding Marvel Boy's saucer, Jimmy held back with Derek Khanata and admitted his suspicions that one of his team was a double agent, also wondering if it might be better to keep his mouth shut about it to the rest of the team.
(Agents of Atlas I#5 (fb)) - Jimmy then elaborated,
revealing his recollections that the Golden Claw also seemed to know
where they were and his suspicions that the Human Robot had helped the
Golden Claw engineer Jimmy Woo's rejuvenation.
(Agents of Atlas I#5) - Jimmy and his agents traveled to Hunter's Point Naval Shipyard, where a somewhat morose Woo had the Human Robot stand guard while the others investigated the shipyard. The Robot soon spotted what appeared to be civilians but Marvel Boy telepathically discovered they were S.H.I.E.L.D. agents following a transponder implanted within Derek Khanata. Marvel Boy also determined Khanata was unaware of the transponder and when Venus went to deal with the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, Jimmy questioned Namora about what was bothering her about Venus. Jimmy assured her that they were a team, at which point Namora claimed Venus was a monster. Overhearing Namora's story of her true origins, Venus began to cry, creating a feeling of intense dread and fear among Jimmy, Khanata and the others. Affected by Venus' crying, Marvel Boy's telepathic headband connected with the closest feelings of dread, Jimmy confiding in Khanata about a double agent within the group, and broadcast it to the entire group. The headband then began broadcasting everyone's own worst memories of pain and loss while Jimmy fought via sheer willpower against the feelings of despair. Once Venus had stopped crying, despair gave way to hate and an angry Marvel Boy destroyed the Human Robot, initiating a fight between the entire group as Jimmy rushed to Venus. Jimmy convinced Venus to accept her monstrous past and save the team by singing. Jimmy then regrouped with Derek Khanata as Venus sang, calming the entire group and forcing them to feel blissful peace. After experiencing a vision of himself with his old love Suwan, Jimmy realized the Human Robot had rebuilt itself. The Robot immediately went to retaliate against Marvel Boy but Jimmy stood between them, ordering the Human Robot to stand down. The Robot did as instructed and Jimmy then requested that, as a member of his team, the Human Robot sever its connection to the Golden Claw. The Robot again did as instructed and Jimmy suggested they all get dinner and rest before their mission against the Claw the next day. He then made everyone shake hands and make up before they continued, impressing Derek Khanata. Now fully under the control of Jimmy Woo, the Human Robot opened its chest and projected images of the older Jimmy Woo's failed mission against the Atlas Foundation. Jimmy quickly noticed an Atlas semiconductor part within the Human Robot and asked Marvel Boy if he had ever noticed it before, to which Marvel Boy replied that the word Atlas meant nothing to him when he'd last looked inside the Human Robot in 1959.
(Agents of Atlas I#6 (fb)) - The group then departed
the shipyard and along the way, Jimmy reviewed more footage of his
failed attack on Atlas projected by the Human Robot and when one of the
projections showed the older Jimmy Woo saying the word "Temujin" at the
Atlas Foundation entrance, the now-youthful Jimmy realized that they
needed to return to entrance in San Francisco and say the word. He then
suggested they all turn in for rest, as he planned to return to the
Atlas headquarters the next morning. The following morning, Jimmy and
his allies arrived at the above ground entrance to the Atlas
headquarters, where Jimmy asked the drug-addled men outside to step
aside. Upon entering, they found the wall that the Human Robot had been
completely restored and when Jimmy uttered the word "Temujin," nothing
happened. Deducing that the Golden Claw had likely prepared for Jimmy
uncovering the code word, Jimmy thought back on how the Claw kept
mentioning how important true names were. Thinking back on his older
self's notes, Jimmy spoke the words "Master Plan" and the floor went
downward like an elevator. The group was briefly attacked by an army of
Mongol warriors but Venus easily incapacitated them and the group
ventured further into the Atlas temple, where Marvel Boy was able to
telepathically generate a replay of what had happened there during
Woo's earlier failed mission based on residual psychic impressions.
Gorilla-Man soon noticed something in the distance and Jimmy
immediately ordered the Human Robot to generate a shield as the group
was assaulted with mystic flames from the dragon Mr. Lao. Revealing
that Woo and his allies had passed their final gauntlet, Mr. Lao
assured them there would be no more defenses as he led them past a wall
with images summarizing his history. As Lao explained how he had
assisted his Master Plan in continuing the legacy of Genghis Khan over
the centuries towards its ultimate destiny, Lao remarked that the Atlas
Foundation possessed the Spirit Banner of Temujin, which only the true
Khan could hold. Lao then revealed that the man chosen by Master Plan
to be the next Khan was Woo Yen Jet, Jimmy Woo himself. Mr. Lao then
related Jimmy Woo's
hidden origin of being chosen by the Claw at a young age to become his
successor and how the Claw had arranged events to become Jimmy's foil
and progress his career, only to watch it falter in the late 1950s when
the FBI moved Jimmy out of the field.
(Agents of Atlas I#6 (fb) / Atlas I#2 (fb)) - The
frail Golden Claw then
appeared in-person and led Jimmy to assume the mantle of Khan and, much
to the confusion of his allies, Jimmy willingly accepted the position
of head of the Atlas Foundation, figuring that with Atlas' resources,
he could do some real good off the radar.
(Agents of Atlas I#6 (fb)) - The Claw then beckoned
Jimmy
to approach and grasp the Spirit Banner of Temujin. Jimmy did as
instructed, powering his way through the burning fire surrounding the
Banner to grasp it and assume the title of Khan. The Claw then
expressed pride in Jimmy, who admitted he would lead the Atlas
Foundation as the Claw had, and the Claw revealed that he knew this to
be true. The Claw then donned his old Yellow Claw costume and
approached Mr. Lao, saying his goodbyes. Jimmy remarked that he was
never told what had happened to the Claw's niece Suwan but the Claw
claimed there was no time for matters of the heart, assuring Jimmy that
Mr. Lao would tell him everything as Lao devoured the Claw per Atlas
protocol of passing the torch to the next Khan. Following more ceremony
to usher in Jimmy as the new Atlas leader, Jimmy suggested Derek
Khanata return to S.H.I.E.L.D. so as to not jeopardize his career and
Khanata said his goodbyes to Jimmy and his allies as Marvel Boy
telepathically projected the illusion of a cave-in to make it appear
Jimmy and his friends had perished.
(Agents of Atlas I#6) - Derek Khanata returned to S.H.I.E.L.D. and when he was debriefed, he claimed Jimmy Woo and his friends had perished in flames during their attack on the Atlas Foundation and were killed when a cave-in consumed both them and Atlas. "Dum-Dum" Dugan let the S.H.I.E.L.D. record show that Jimmy Woo and the Gorilla-Man had served S.H.I.E.L.D. with honors before accompanying Khanata out of the debriefing. Along the way to Khanata's plane, Dugan asked how Khanata was holding up and Khanata admitted he had come to respect Woo and his friends during his time with them. Dugan then remarked that Khanata's reports had reminded him of the Jimmy Woo he used to work with and he commented that Jimmy would've wanted to go out in action. On the plane back to Wakanda, Khanata thought about how he had lied to his superiors and the truth of how Jimmy had actually assumed control of the Atlas Foundation. As Khanata also discussed with the Black Panther of his family name, which meant "For the Khan," Woo and his allies were hard at work redesigning the Atlas Foundation temple to better handle their individual needs. Woo remarked that perhaps the Uranians knew it was time for Marvel Boy to return to Earth and when Woo looked over at the Human Robot, curious what it might think of all that had transpired, Namora remarked that she knew long ago when she saw the Robot underwater with sea life congregating around it, that it was significant. Jimmy then commented that Marvel Boy's file state that the Human Robot had killed its creator before walking into the ocean and he wished he knew what was going on in the Human Robot's mechanical brain. Following Woo's assuming the title of Khan, a letter from the Golden Claw was discovered detailing some of the involvement in Jimmy's life already explained by Lao and also warning Jimmy not to trust Lao.
(Spider-Man Family I#4 / 2 (fb) - BTS) - Jimmy and
his newly-dubbed Agents of Atlas decided to continue investigating, and
shutting down if necessary, the criminal front companies of the Atlas
Foundation. They first opted to check out the Atlas Playhouse in New
York, which was at the time showing the stage play called Animalia.
Soon realizing that the Atlas Playhouse was creating humanoid animal
automatons under the guise of them being actors in the play.
(Spider-Man Family I#4 / 2) - Jimmy
and the Agents tracked one of the escaped
creatures into the city, where they witnessed Spider-Man save a couple
from the creature and pursue it back to the Playhouse. To further
investigate the Playhouse, Jimmy and his allies attended a showing of Animalia,
unaware that Spider-Man was also attending in his civilian identity of
Peter Parker alongside his girlfriend Mary Jane Watson. When the lead
actor summoned two giant creatures, Spider-Man went into action and
Jimmy and the Agents of Atlas revealed their presence as well. In the
ensuing scuffle, Venus calmed Spider-Man and Jimmy pulled a gun on the
hero, ordering him to call off the monsters. Gorilla-Man quickly
vouched for Spider-Man and when Namora subsequently defeated the
monsters, prompting the rest of the Playhouse to teleport away, Jimmy
and the Agents of Atlas attempted a hasty exit via Marvel Boy's saucer
but Spider-Man webbed onto the Human Robot's foot to pursue. Once
onboard the saucer, Spider-Man demanded to know who the Agents of Atlas
were and Jimmy reluctantly explained how he had recently inherited the
criminal Atlas Foundation and how the Agents had been working to shut
down its criminal ventures. The Agents then explained to Spider-Man how
the Atlas Playhouse was using their victims' life force to create
monstrous automatons and how many of the criminal Atlas operations were
in plain sight. Recalling a giant Atlas statue in the city, Spider-Man
led the Agents of Atlas to it and they soon discovered the Playhouse's
life force battery was the statue itself. Spider-Man used webbing to
divert the Human Robot's eye beams into the statue, destroying it and
stopping Atlas Playhouse, at which point Jimmy ordered the Human Robot
to replace the statue with an exact replica. Jimmy then shook hands
with Spider-Man as he asked Marvel Boy to debrief the crowd. Marvel Boy
then telepathically made the entire crowd, including Spider-Man forget
what had happened after the play and while Spider-Man ultimately
recalled the events, he could not recall the names and details of Jimmy
or the Agents of Atlas.
(Secret Invasion: Who Do You Trust? #1 / 5) - Following a secret invasion of extraterrestrial Skrulls, Jimmy Woo and his Agents of Atlas hid at the bottom of a west coast river inside Marvel Boy's saucer, from where they eventually acquired a Skrull specimen for Marvel Boy to experiment on. When the Skrulls eventually discovered the saucer, Marvel Boy's saucer surfaced with a generated energy shield and a gun-toting Jimmy asked if Marvel Boy's experiment was ready to go. Marvel Boy replied in the affirmative and as Jimmy and the others tried to hold back the Skrulls, Venus began singing and a mechanical device she wore synced her song to act on Skrulls thanks to the specimen Marvel Boy had experimented on. Venus at first had the Skrulls drop their weapons and walk into the river but she soon stopped singing, explaining to Jimmy that she couldn't force the Skrulls to their deaths. Jimmy assured Venus that he would not make her kill anyone and after Marvel Boy confirmed that the Skrulls were not inherently malevolent, wanting only to integrate humanity into their own culture as they took over, Jimmy considered the options. Admitting that he might outdated due to his experiences after 1959 being erased during his rejuvenation, Jimmy Woo nonetheless exclaimed that despite the Skrulls' intent, they were still aliens trying to take over Earth and he ordered the Human Robot to unleash his death ray against the aliens, killing the entire regiment present. Woo then ordered Marvel Boy to take them to Seattle to aid there before moving on to Japan, unaware that the Skrull specimen Marvel Boy had been experimenting was acting as a mute witness to their actions.
(Dark Reign: New Nation#1 /2 (fb) - BTS) - The Agents
of Atlas learned of an impending gold shipment to act as collateral for
a weapons system without going through official US Congress channels.
In an effort to draw out the mastermind behind the gold shipment and
prevent its use for a weapons purchase, Jimmy Woo planned to stage a
theft of all the gold in Fort Knox.
(Dark Reign: New Nation#1 / 2) - Jimmy Woo sent video
to Fort Knox on all frequencies, proclaiming the gold bullion stored
there to be the property of the Atlas Foundation and announcing that
Atlas agents would be there at 3pm to collect the gold. Moments later,
the Agents of Atlas attacked the base, easily making it past the Fort's
defenses. During the attack, Namora reported back to "Master Woo" that
they were inside the vault and that Woo could have the Uranian
(formerly Marvel Boy) activate the hypermagnetic field to remove the
guns from the guards' hands. The Uranian's ship then appeared above the
vault and lowered the Uranian, Gorilla-Man and Jimmy himself into the
vault. The Human Robot used an electrical shock to disarm the remaining
guards and Woo calmly reiterated his announcement that the Atlas
Foundation would be taking the gold, further remarking that the gold
acquisition should not harm the US economy in any way since the economy
no longer depended on gold. A military general quickly pointed out that
the Uranian's ship couldn't possibly tow that much gold without being
slowed down enough for the military to shoot down the ship and, noting
the point, Woo asked the Uranian how they planned to carry that much
gold. The Uranian quickly explained how he could temporarily alter the
gravity on the gold, making it easier to tow, and Woo asked how the
Agents were keeping to the schedule. Upon learning they were actually
ahead of schedule, Woo continued with the gold theft. As Jimmy and the
other Agents of Atlas were levitating back into the Uranian's ship, the
general angrily exclaimed that an attack on an army base was high
treason punishable by death and Woo responded by informing the shocked
general that the Atlas Foundation was a sovereign body, thereby making
the theft an act of war. Once the Agents of Atlas were back in the
Uranian's ship, Venus joked that Jimmy channeled the Yellow Claw a bit
too easily and Jimmy laughed that he'd had to sit through many
supervillain spiels over the years. Gorilla-Man then informed Jimmy
that the gold theft had lured the criminal mastermind behind the
original planned gold shipment they had discovered out of the shadows
exactly as Jimmy had planned. Woo then had the Human Robot display the
message from the mastermind it had intercepted and when the message was
played, Woo and the Agents of Atlas watched video of Norman Osborn
berating officials at Fort Knox for the gold theft and demanding to
know who "Master Woo" was. Gorilla-Man grumbled at how another
corrupted trail had led back to Osborn and when Namora noted that
Osborn's then-entrenchment into US national security painted Osborn as
a hero, a grinning Jimmy Woo suggested Atlas continue to play the role
of villains to set up a big play against Norman Osborn. He then joked
that since they were in charge of a worldwide criminal empire, it was
time they started acting like it.
(Agents of Atlas II#1) - After Norman Osborn sent
"Man-Mountain" Marko and a squadron of ATF agents to raid an Atlas
facility, the Agents of Atlas easily defeated Marko and Gorilla-Man
informed Marko to inform Osborn that Jimmy Woo did not deal with low
level stooges. In retaliation, Osborn had another facility bombed and
the day after, Venus was sent to meet with Osborn, who revealed that he
had accessed confiscated S.H.I.E.L.D. files on Jimmy Woo written by
Derek Khanata. Also revealing that he was fully aware of Jimmy Woo's
former status as a S.H.I.E.L.D. subdirector and his subsequent
rejuvenation, Osborn gloated about his knowledge, after which Venus
projected video footage of Jimmy Woo from her necklace. Greeting
Osborn, Woo suggested he and Osborn make an arrangement by which Osborn
would allow Atlas operations to continue unabated in exchange for Woo
using Atlas' network to help facilitate some of Osborn's goals.
Intrigued, Osborn admitted that perhaps they could make an arrangement
after all and when he insisted on sending a fact-finding team before
agreeing to any arrangement, Woo agreed to allow the team inside the
Atlas Foundation on the condition that they turn over "Jason," a former
Atlas Foundation that had been giving Osborn inside info on Atlas'
operations.
Osborn soon sent "Man-Mountain"
Marko and his ATF team to learn more about the Atlas Foundation and
they brought "Jason" to turn him back over to the Atlas Foundation.
Shortly after the tour began, Marko noticed "Jason" wandering off and
he followed, exposing the fact that "Jason" was never truly in any
danger and that he still appeared to be working for the Atlas
Foundation. Sufficiently discovered, "Jason" revealed himself to be
Jimmy Woo himself, telepathically disguised by the Uranian. Admitting
that he had been Jason the entire time, Woo claimed that Marko would
now have to stay with the Atlas Foundation since he had discovered his
secret, ordering Marko to give up all the information he had on Norman
Osborn or risk Woo unleashing Namora on Marko. When Marko refused, Mr.
Lao appeared and devoured Marko whole despite Woo's orders to stop. Woo
immediately ordered Namora to retrieve Marko from Mr. Lao gullet but it
was too late, prompting Woo to berate Mr. Lao for eating Atlas
prisoners. Mr. Lao argued that Woo's missions did not seem to be
furthering the Khan dynasty to unite the world and he revealed that,
due to Jimmy insisting on accompanying the Agents of Atlas into battle,
Lao had activated a second person who could take Jimmy's place should
he meet with tragedy. Woo reminded Lao that they would continue the
discussion later and he turned to focus his attention on the Uranian,
who had been weakened from the telepathic strain of holding Woo's
disguise.
The following Friday, Woo reported back to Osborn, who proclaimed the fact-finding mission a success aside from Marko's death, which Woo claimed was the result of falling into a monster pit despite warnings not to venture off from the tour. Osborn agreed to the suggested arrangement with Woo and ended the call, admitting to his ally Victoria Hand that while he didn't trust Woo, they had a good balance of power between them. As Osborn reviewed Woo's file and determined him to still be a brassy kid from the outdated 1950s, Woo and the other Agents of Atlas were celebrating their successful ruse of convincing Osborn they were villains. During the celebration, Namora and Venus discussed their notice that Jimmy seemed to long to escape the confines of Mr. Lao and the Atlas Foundation and get aboard the Uranian's ship where he could be himself. Namora admitted that Jimmy's determination to always do what was right inspired her to follow him. The celebration was soon interrupted when the Uranian picked up the approaching ship housing Mr. Lao's hand-picked replacement head for Atlas and the Uranian revealed the replacement to be Temugin, son of the villainous Mandarin.
(Agents of Atlas II#2) - Jimmy Woo accompanied the
Agents of Atlas to Edwards Air Force Base in Antelope Valley to meet
with Norman Osborn's ATF agents, now led by the criminal Grizzly. As
the Uranian's saucer flew over the desert, Mr. Lao contacted Jimmy to
make a passive-aggressive comment about Jimmy again accompanying his
Agents into the field. Jimmy explained that he wanted to be on-site to
close the deal with Osborn but Mr. Lao argued that Woo could observe
and comment from within Atlas' Hidden City, much like Lao himself was
doing. Jimmy argued back that he liked to get fresh air every now and
then and sternly reminded Lao that he was the Khan of the Atlas
Foundation, to which Lao claimed that no one disputed Woo's leadership,
only his insistence of operating in the field. Lao then reminded Woo
that Temugin had arrived and that he was waiting on Woo, who replied
"good" before ending the communication. Woo then observed from the
Uranian's saucer as Gorilla-Man, Namora and the Human Robot met with
the ATF agents to display and sell a prototype frequency cannon. When
the meeting erupted into a fight due to the Grizzly's mistrust of the
Agents of Atlas, Woo demanded to know what was going on and he ordered
the Human Robot to halt Namora's retaliatory attack on the ATF agents.
Following the meeting, Woo joined the other Agents in celebrating the
ultimately successful meeting and when Woo brought up Namora's rampage,
Namora accepted responsibility for it. Jimmy acknowledged Namora's
response but assured her the loss of control wasn't a deal-breaker,
instead offering to listen if she wanted to talk about it. Namora
instead preferred to put the situation behind her and the celebration
was quickly interrupted by the arrival of Temugin. The Agents mistook
Temugin's appearance as an attack and they attacked, prompting Temugin
to easily avoid them until Woo ordered everyone to stand down. Woo then
demanded to know how Temugin had gotten into the Uranian's ship and
Temugin explained his ability to teleport, noting how easy it had been
to follow the communications from the Hidden City to the ship's
location above Antelope Valley.
Temugin assured Woo and the Agents of Atlas of his pledge of fealty to the Atlas Foundation but questioned Woo's loyalty, as he had failed to truly sway Osborn in Atlas' favor and control Osborn's lackey, the Sentry, with Venus' abilities. As Woo listened to Temugin's accusations, the Uranian telepathically caught Temugin off-guard and forced Temugin to think an Iron Man-like drone was assimilating him, sternly warning Temugin never to enter his ship without permission again. Once the Uranian had led Temugin to his quarters on the ship, Namora suggested Jimmy allow her to take Temugin to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean as punishment for his impudence but Jimmy admitted that it wasn't Temugin's words that had him steamed but rather, the fact that Temugin's accusations were right.
(Agents of Atlas II#3) - The Agents of Atlas met with Norman Osborn and the Sentry in-person to provide him a tour of an Atlas Foundation weapons factory and Woo disguised himself as one of the factory workers to observe Osborn at a distance. Following the meeting, Woo regrouped with his team to ask the Uranian what sort of telepathic impression he got from the Sentry and Osborn. The Uranian linked his mind with Woo and Gorilla-Man to show them the fragmented impressions he received that confirmed an all-consuming darkness within the Sentry and that Osborn had been meeting with a secret Cabal involving Namor the Sub-Mariner and Latverian monarch Doctor Doom. Woo thanked the Uranian for his work and suggested they take the helicopter into town so the Uranian could recover in his spaceship. As they boarded the helicopter with the Human Robot, Woo admitted to Gorilla-Man how he didn't envy the Uranian's ability to read minds. They then discussed the next phase of Woo's plan to pose as villains until their helicopter was attacked by Captain America (Bucky Barnes). The helicopter went down but the Human Robot extended his arms to grab the side of a building and slow their descent. When Woo suggested the Human Robot be easy in lowering the helicopter so they could see who their attacker was, Captain America announced himself to save them the trouble.
(Agents of Atlas II#4) - Captain America smashed the
part of the building the Human Robot was holding onto, causing the
helicopter to fall with Jimmy and the Gorilla-Man inside. Woo quickly
ordered the Human Robot to grab onto a nearby crane. Captain America
leaped onto the back of the helicopter and, worried that Cap might blow
their entire operation too early by forcing them to reveal their
criminal ruse, Jimmy Woo contacted the Uranian for an extraction and
ordered the Gorilla-Man to get Cap off of the helicopter. Gorilla-Man
successfully knocked Captain America away and the Human Robot got
Gorilla-Man and Jimmy to safety before Woo ordered the Uranian to fry
the helicopter to cover their escape. The Uranian then pulled Woo, the
Human Robot, the Gorilla-Man and Captain America into his saucer. Once
Captain America was inside, Woo explained to Cap that they needed to
verify some information but when he asked the Uranian to read Cap's
mind, the weakened Uranian passed out, drawing Woo and Gorilla-Man into
Cap's past memories, from which they learned that this Captain America
was Bucky Barnes. After witnessing Bucky's memories in World War II and
during his time as the Winter Soldier, Woo and Gorilla-Man found
themselves reliving the Uranian's memories of a Department Zero mission
in 1958 involving the Dragon's Corridor. The Uranian, unaware he had
passed out and he was within his own memories, informed Woo and
Gorilla-Man that the red triangles they had used back in 1958 were
actually the molted scales of the dragon Mr. Lao. Gorilla-Man suggested
the Uranian wake up and when the Uranian appeared confused by the
statement, Woo explained how the weakened Uranian had passed out and
inadvertently trapped them in a memory loop, at which point the Uranian
removed his headband and restored everyone to physical reality. After
learning that Captain America was hiding the then-rebel Avengers, Woo
arranged for the Uranian to implant specific memories about the Atlas
Foundation's operations into Captain America's mind to help cover their
ruse of being criminals and they deposited the unconscious Cap on a New
York City rooftop.
(Agents of Atlas II#5) - Woo sent Atlas Foundation
agents to meet the Grizzly and Osborn's ATF agents, knowing full well
that Captain America and his rogue Avengers were aware of the shipment.
Watching from afar, Woo and the Agents of Atlas witnessed the Avengers
apprehend the Atlas agents, whom Woo noted were unredeemable and
deserved jail. When Temugin questioned the purpose of Jimmy's criminal
ruse, Jimmy explained that the purpose was to not deliver weapons to
the corrupt Norman Osborn by manipulating the Avengers into halting the
weapons shipment, thereby giving the actually heroic Woo and the Agents
of Atlas a plausible alibi to explain the lack of deliverance. Temugin
grumbled at not being able to let loose in the ensuing fight but Woo
gave Temugin permission to fight at full capacity in an effort to keep
up their ruse, reminding Temugin that he must follow their plan with
the Uranian being out of commission to recover from his recent
overextensions. When the Avengers busted their way into the storage
area for the weapons, Jimmy Woo and the Agents of Atlas, continuing
their ruse as villains, confronted them and attacked, announcing that
the Avengers had interrupted the operations of the Atlas Foundation. As
the battle began, Jimmy ordered the Human Robot to attack Luke Cage but
before he could fully dole out orders to Gorilla-Man, Spider-Man halted
the fight. Jimmy attempted to give his best "evil mastermind" lines but
Spider-Man refused to believe it, noting that his Spider-Sense had
proved to him that the Agents of Atlas posed no actual danger to the
Avengers. When Spider-Man presented several points of evidence to
further prove the Agents of Atlas were not truly a threat, Jimmy gave
up the ruse and agreed to level with the Avengers, revealing how he had
recently taken over the Atlas Foundation from the criminal Yellow Claw.
Before Jimmy could continue his
explanation, however, the Human Robot analyzed Wolverine's voice and
recognized it as the Logan that Jimmy and Department Zero had
encountered in Cuba back in 1958. The Human Robot immediately fired on
Wolverine, renewing the battle between the Agents of Atlas and the
Avengers. Captain America went in to attack Jimmy, who blocked the
tackle and later focused his attacks on Ronin. When Ronin got the upper
hand, Temugin intervened to rescue Woo, smiling and asking if he was
playing his part well. Jimmy replied in the affirmative as he expressed
hope that Venus would arrive soon to halt the fighting. Following a
very brief fight against Spider-Man, Venus arrived and sang, halting
the hostilities as Jimmy and the Agents of Atlas plugged their ears.
While the Avengers were subdued, Woo ordered the Agents of Atlas to
ready their dragon scales and Temugin to open a portal to the Dragon's
Corridor. Again playing up the ruse of being criminals, Jimmy announced
that the Avengers had only disrupted one of Atlas' operations and that
it was a setback they would not soon forget, promising to meet the
Avengers again before entering the portal to escape. Emerging in the
Dragon's Corridor, Woo asked Temugin to find the portal back to San
Francisco and they viewed the New York portal, watching as the ship
containing the weapons for Norman Osborn sunk into the river. Once back
in the Uranian's ship, Jimmy reached out to Norman Osborn to inform him
of the Avengers' involvement and when Osborn claimed he could not pay
for goods not delivered, Jimmy replied that his first priority would be
to exact revenge on the Avengers and that he would be in touch. After
ending the communication, Jimmy regrouped with his team and the
recovered Uranian informed Namora that her cousin Namor was part of the
secret cabal that Osborn was a part of.
(Agents of Atlas II#7 (fb) - BTS) - Jimmy Woo
authorized the Atlas Foundation to extend a top level position within
the Foundation to Derek Khanata.
(Agents of Atlas II#6) - The Agents of Atlas were discussing the Human Robot recognizing Wolverine when Jimmy Woo emerged topside, pointing out that they couldn't continue to play the role of villains much longer, as Norman Osborn would get wise to their stunts. He then suggested they should perhaps go ahead and take Osborn down through one of the members of Osborn's Cabal: Namor the Sub-Mariner. Namora informed the Agents that Namor was presently ruling over an Atlantean colony in the Pacific Ocean and Woo had the Uranian travel to the coordinates, where they submerged as Namora recounted Namor's and her own history with the surface world. Woo was briefly amazed at the view when the ship went through an underwater lava floe and Gorilla-Man joked that they could almost picture Temugin back in San Francisco salivating at the thought of Jimmy being killed beneath the waves. As they continued downward into the Atlantean colony of Oceanus, Gorilla-Man joked about Mr. Lao, prompting Jimmy to suggest they discuss Mr. Lao and his ancient agendas. Before they could begin the discussion, however, the Agents of Atlas were met by Namor. Namora quickly vouched for the Agents and Jimmy and the others introduced themselves, with Namor questioning whether the Atlas Foundation was a criminal organization. Jimmy admitted their status was complicated and when he asked if they should discuss it there, Namor declined, preferring instead of provide them a feast fit for the princess Namora. While being led to the feast, Woo confirmed with the Uranian that he was telepathically connected to Namor.
At the feast, a smiling Woo
listened to old childhood stories about Namora from Atlantean elder
Tulem. As the celebration continued, Woo conferred with the Uranian to
see if he had gained any useful intel from Namor but the Uranian
confirmed only that Namor wished for Namora to remain in Oceanus. They
were interrupted when Namor asked when Jimmy planned to release Namora
from his service, to which Jimmy replied that Namora was her own woman
and he could make her decisions for her. Namora and Namor then began to
argue over Namora's duties and during the argument, the Uranian came
close to acquiring the information on Norman Osborn that they sought.
When Namora accused Namor of being in Osborn's inner circle, Jimmy
tried to dissuade Namora from mentioning Osborn's Cabal but Namor
argued against Atlas selling weapons to Osborn and Namora argued that
they weren't actually doing so. While the argument progressed, the
Uranian informed Jimmy that Namor had no intentions of giving
information to Osborn about the Atlas Foundation and, having overheard
the Uranian's remarks, Namor became angry that his mind had been read
without his knowledge and attacked the Uranian. The Uranian countered
with a telepathic image of a large sea creature to attack Namor but
Namor saw through the ruse and spun around at superhuman speed,
creating a watery vortex that caught Woo and the other Agents in its
wake. When the Human Robot fired on Namor, the Atlantean militia came
to Namor's defense and Namora attacked Namor for retaliating against
the Human Robot, creating a distraction in which Woo freed Venus. Venus
then began singing to calm everyone and, unable to get his earplugs in
due to his aquatic helmet, Jimmy was affected by Venus' song, seeing
images of Suwan.
Two days later, Woo met with the
other Agents and they played Scrabble while discussing the lack of
intel they had acquired from Namor regarding Norman Osborn and the fact
that Namora might end up staying in Oceanus. The Uranian suggested
Namora could commute and how he wouldn't mind picking her up if needed,
to which Jimmy commented on how much the Uranian enjoyed the underwater
environment. The discussion was soon interrupted when Namora asked if
they were ready to tour the Plato Crevice with Tulem, to which Jimmy
replied in the affirmative. During the tour, Woo discussed with Tulem
what the loss of Namora to his team would be and Woo admitted that he
perhaps needed to accept reality.
(Agents of Atlas II#7) - While Jimmy and his Agents
were in Oceanus, members of the Atlas Foundation invited Derek Khanata
to Ling's Tea House, where Khanata was offered a top level position
within Atlas. During one of the Oceanic tours, Namora and Namor pulled
Jimmy aside and asked if he would participate in an Atlantean
consummation ceremony, by which he would be essentially "giving away"
Namora to Namor. Namora asked that Jimmy speak up if he needed her
within Atlas, to which an understanding Jimmy admitted he only wanted,
rather than needed, Namora within Atlas. After Jimmy suggested Namora
follow her heart, Namora embraced Jimmy in a big hug and thanked him
for everything. For the act of releasing the most powerful asset for
her happiness, Namor commended Jimmy and asked if perhaps true leaders
had returned to the surface world. The two then discussed the weight of
leadership and when Jimmy suggested Namor cut ties with Norman Osborn,
Namor admitted his feelings that his Atlantean people would still be
affected even without the connection to Osborn on the surface world.
The discussion was interrupted when a large, plant-like sea creature
called the Skulora enveloped the Uranian and soon after, the nearby
others. Discovering something during the subsequent battle against the
Skulora, the Uranian telepathically linked the minds of Jimmy, Namor,
Namora, Gorilla-Man and himself to explain that Tulem had secretly
lured them there so the Skulora would kill Woo and the Agents of Atlas,
leaving Namora free to stay with Namor. The Uranian then created a
telepathic illusion that tricked Tulem into thinking Namor and Namora
had been killed, at which point the Uranian exposed Tulem's ruse.
After learning that her entire life had been manipulated by the Atlantean elders in an attempt to breed super-strong Atlanteans, Namora returned to Atlas and her quarters within the Uranian's ship as a saddened Jimmy and his allies discussed the situation. Admitting that he had been thinking what Namor had said about a leader neglecting the duties to his people, Woo expressed a desire to return to Atlas work rather than focus so much on Norman Osborn. Revealing to his allies that he had set something in motion before they left for Oceanus, Jimmy smiled as Derek Khanata was returned to his home expressing his appreciation to Jimmy Woo for the job offer.
(Agents of Atlas II#7 / 2) - With Jimmy Woo and the Agents of Atlas away in Oceanus for several days, Temugin presumed Jimmy was dead and sought an audience with the sleeping Mr. Lao in an attempt to ascendant to the role of Atlas Foundation Khan. Lao was soon awakened with Jimmy and his allies returned to the Hidden City and when Lao asked if Temugin wished to speak to him about something, a grumbling Temugin replied in the negative. Lao then asked if Woo had been able to break Namor's association with Osborn's Cabal and while Woo admitted he wasn't sure, he informed Lao that Atlas' alliance with the Atlanteans was very solid. Woo then asked Lao what had become of Suwan, noting that the Golden Claw's last message to him mentioned some trouble. Lao laughed at the Claw's understatement and asked Jimmy to walk with him as he filled Jimmy on the Atlas Foundation's history in regards to Suwan. When Jimmy wondered if it was just personal history rather than history of the Foundation itself, Lao replied by asking Jimmy if he had ever wondered why a Foundation descended from Mongolia was no longer in Asia.
(Agents of Atlas II#8 (fb)) - As they walked, Mr. Lao informed Jimmy
Woo that, during his time with S.H.I.E.L.D. in which the Atlas
Foundation had lost track of him, Suwan had become despondent and threw
herself into the Atlas Foundation's work, eventually leading Atlas'
eastern forces and seeking to become the Foundation's next Khan. Lao
also revealed how Suwan had fought against the Golden Claw's branch of
Atlas when the Claw asked her to step down as leader of the eastern
forces. When Jimmy remarked that Suwan must be quite old by that point,
Lao explained how Suwan had begun using the life-extending elixirs that
had kept the Golden Claw alive and that Suwan likely didn't look much
older than she did in 1958, when Jimmy recalled last seeing her. Lao
then remarked that he would have Atlas operative Chang bring the
ancient maps of the Dragon's Corridor to Jimmy in case he ever wished
to send a spy into Suwan's network. Shortly after, Jimmy
Woo arranged for Gorilla-Man and the Uranian to return the stolen gold
bullion from Fort Knox with a note apologizing for the inconvenience.
(Agents of Atlas II#8) - Derek Khanata accompanied
Jimmy Woo and the senior Agents of Atlas into a heated pool to discuss
his new position. When Derek joked that he wasn't sure his wife would
approve of the new position if she knew about the pool, Jimmy explained
how the Atlas Foundation agents needed to see Derek mingling with the
Atlas senior leadership so they knew his authority over them. Derek
then wondered aloud how much of the Atlas Foundation Jimmy had been
able to reform, to which Temugin grumbled that the criminal branches
were profitable and hardly in need of arbitrary reforms from higher
leadership. As the relaxation came to an end, Derek asked about
Gorilla-Man and the Uranian, whom Jimmy remarked were returning
something they had been holding onto for the government, unaware that
Norman Osborn was watching Atlas return the gold it had stolen from
Fort Knox and considering his association with the Atlas Foundation
terminated. A short time later, Woo opted to check on the ancient maps
of he Dragon's Corridor that Mr. Lao had passed to him and he departed
the Hidden City with the Human Robot to venture into the Dragon's
Corridor. While Jimmy was away, Temugin took it upon himself to fill in
for Jimmy Woo during Agents of Atlas missions despite Gorilla-Man's
objections. Derek Khanata insisted that Jimmy wanted them all to work
together and suggested they all move forward with their next mission to
investigate the Atlas Sign Museum front company. When the Atlas Sign
Museum was revealed to have been creating Frankenstein-like patchwork
creatures from the bodies of drifters, Derek expressed his thoughts
that Jimmy would agree the creatures had to be destroyed.
During his trek through the Dragon's Corridor with the Human Robot, Jimmy thought back on Lao's information regarding Suwan's history during his time with S.H.I.E.L.D. Soon finding the portal to the eastern temple of Atlas, Jimmy and the Human Robot entered the portal into the temple and Jimmy noted how similar it looked to the Hidden City. Drawn to the alarms that had sounded with Jimmy entered the temple, Suwan appeared and accused Jimmy of breaking the Atlas-Great Wall Treaty, perhaps thinking he was exempt due to their prior relationship. Reintroducing herself as the Jade Claw, Suwan announced that Jimmy Woo would pay for his transgressions.
(Agents of Atlas II#9) - When the Jade Claw admitted
that she didn't think she would ever see Jimmy again as anything other
than an old man, much less with the Human Robot still in tow, Jimmy
explained how he had no idea of Suwan's transition into the Jade Claw
but opted to visit as soon as he had found out, as he felt they always
had something special between them. The Jade Claw then questioned
whether it was true that Jimmy had taken over the western Atlas
Foundation branch as Khan and when Jimmy replied in the affirmative and
informed her that he hoped to do some good with the organization, the
Jade Claw cynically commented that all men of power used that same
excuse when all they really wanted was to be adored by the masses.
Claiming that women of power had no need of such facades, the Jade Claw
introduced Jimmy to her sea serpent adviser, Yao, who commended the
Jade Claw on her feminine wiles that had lured Jimmy all the way from
America. The Jade Claw agreed with Yao's summary of the situation and
ordered her agent Chin Ti to send a message to the Hidden City
informing them that they were holding Jimmy hostage in exchange for the
Spirit Banner of Temujin. Smiling, Jimmy admitted that, while he didn't
care for the Spirit Banner himself, it held the Atlas Foundation
together so he refused the hostage deal and apologized for visiting
Suwan, suggesting he simply leave with the Human Robot. The Jade Claw
responded by ordering guards to subdue Jimmy but he easily fought them
off with the help of the Human Robot and took the Jade Claw hostage,
demanding to leave and take Suwan with him if the guards did not stand
down. Unfazed by Jimmy's threats, the Jade Claw had her M-21 robot emit
a neural inciter field that disabled both Jimmy and her guards. The
Human Robot immediately came to Jimmy's defense but M-21 overpowered
the Robot and destroyed it.
In the battle between the two
robots, Jimmy Woo fled, furiously pursued by the Jade Claw. M-21
eventually located Jimmy via heat signature and the Jade Claw
confronted him, claiming that she should have killed Jimmy years ago.
Facing the Jade Claw, Jimmy asked why she should have killed him and
the Claw claimed Jimmy had manipulated her to get to the Golden Claw.
Jimmy refuted the Jade Claw's claims, instead announcing that the
reverse was true and that he was using the Golden Claw to get to Suwan.
The Jade Claw's headquarters subsequently came under attack and when
she demanded to know what was happening, Jimmy revealed that she was
not the only one who could track him down. The Agents of Atlas revealed
themselves outside and they soon spotted Jimmy and the Jade Claw, who
had M-21 transform into its cannon mode to fire on the Uranian's ship.
A fierce battle ensued with the Agents of Atlas quickly being overcome
and when the Jade Claw prepared M-21's neural inciter, Jimmy tried and
failed to stop her. The reconstituted Human Robot quickly grabbed up
the unconscious Agents of Atlas and carried them back to the Uranian's
ship as the Jade Claw ordered the Robot captured. Gorilla-Man managed
to pilot the Uranian's spaceship a good distance away from the Jade
Claw's headquarters and Jimmy and the others regained consciousness
just in time for the ship to crash into the surrounding Pacific Ocean.
Methane began leaking into the ship and Jimmy ordered everyone up onto
the outer hull of the floating ship, from which Jimmy contacted the
Hidden City. Berating Mr. Lao for neglecting to tell him he would be
breaking an Atlas treaty by visiting Suwan, Jimmy was interrupted when
the Jade Claw overrid the transmission to inform Jimmy that he had
initiated a war of the Dragon Clans. Once the Jade Claw closed the
transmission, Jimmy asked the Uranian about his ship and learned that
the ship would need a complete overhaul.
(Agents of Atlas II#10) - Upon returning to the
Hidden City, Jimmy immediately went into the strategy room and began
trying to locate bases for the Jade Claw's eastern branch of Atlas,
which she called the Great Wall. When Namora blamed herself for going
straight into battle without refreshing, Woo assured her that not many
people would have been able to stand against the Jade Claw's M-21
robot. Temugin soon suggested they storm the Great Wall organization
with all the might of the Atlas Foundation's western branch but Jimmy
quickly reminded him how they had earlier been beaten. The two then
argued about how next to proceed, with Jimmy blaming himself for
following his emotions first without doing research and refusing to
send an army in just to get killed. As Jimmy remarked that if he risked
anyone to shut down the Great Wall society, it would be himself, the
Jade Claw commandeered the Atlas Foundation's communication channels
once more. Jimmy immediately ordered Suwan to drop her crusade before
it got ugly but the Jade Claw refused, noting that her digital assault
on Atlas was already bearing fruit. She then showed footage of the
Great Wall society bombing Atlas supply ships, warning that it was
merely a taste of her wrath and that she was coming for Jimmy. Jimmy
quickly ordered all of Atlas' digital assets shut down then visited the
Uranian to prioritize preventing the Jade Claw's access to the Atlas
Foundation network. The Uranian suggested a completely alien firewall
and set aside other requests to take care of the network for Jimmy.
Opting to upgrade the Human Robot sooner rather than later, Gorilla-Man
took to the Human Robot to a remote area of the Hidden City, where
reclusive robotics scientist Dr. Zu was informed of Jimmy's assuming
the leadership role in Atlas before being asked to upgrade the Human
Robot.
While Gorilla-Man and the Human
Robot were meeting with Dr. Zu, Jimmy Woo visited Mr. Lao to demand why
he had sent Jimmy into the lion's den of Suwan's forces. When Jimmy
questioned whether Lao was trying to get rid of him in favor of
Temugin, Lao claimed innocence but as Jimmy commented on Suwan's
dragon, Lao perked up and asked for information on Suwan's serpentine
adviser. Curious as to why Lao was soon keen on knowing, Jimmy withheld
information until Lao relented and led Jimmy into his ante-chamber,
where Lao revealed the history of Dragon Clan wars and how important it
was to know which dragon served Suwan. Jimmy informed Lao that Suwan
was being advised by the sea serpent Yao. Thirty-two hours later, Jimmy
was helping stock a Hercules plane in Atlas' African diamond mine and
when Temugin became angry at the treatment of the Atlas workers, Jimmy
reminded Temugin what sort of organization he had inherited from the
Golden Claw, noting that the Claw had been willing to overlook
inhumanity as long as it benefited him. The preparations were
interrupted when the Jade Claw's forces entered the area via the
Dragon's Corridor, forcing Atlas to unleash the soldiers inside their
plane and the upgraded Human Robot against the Great Wall soldiers.
(Agents of Atlas II#11) - Upon seeing the two forces
killing each other, Venus sang so powerfully that her song even
affected those with ear plugs in, both Jimmy Woo and Suwan included.
Despite finding herself in pure bliss with Jimmy, Suwan revealed to
Jimmy that an implant in her allowed her to monitor the progress of her
M-21 robot defeating Atlas forces even when affected by Venus' song.
Willing himself to overcome Venus' effects, Jimmy ordered Venus to stop
singing and he broke free of her effect just in time to save Temugin
from death at the beams of M-21. Jimmy then ran past the Venus-affected
Gorilla-Man and ordered him to retreat Atlas' forces since he was the
one the Jade Claw wanted. When Jimmy fled into the Dragon's Corridor,
the Jade Claw ordered her own forces to contain but not kill Jimmy as
Gorilla-Man worked to gather up the Atlas forces. Against Jimmy's
orders, Temugin teleported into the Dragon's Corridor to assist Jimmy
as he attempted to hide from the Jade Claw. The two soon decided to
enter a portal that would deposit near the Great Wall's headquarters,
where Jimmy hoped to reacquire something he had left there. As they
dashed towards the portal, Temugin thanked Jimmy for saving his life
and Jimmy suggested Temugin get used to it, as he was part of their
team. Jimmy soon entered the portal to retrieve his flying Edsel and he
returned to the Dragon's Corridor in time to pick up Temugin, who had
since been shot trying to buy Jimmy time. Slamming the Edsel into M-21,
Jimmy flew it back through a portal to the Hidden City alongside the
injured Temugin, only to find that the Jade Claw had taken out every
Atlas foothold across the world during their battle. The Jade Claw soon
interrupted Atlas transmissions again to gloat at having destroyed
every Atlas advantage except the Hidden City but following the
transmission, Jimmy gave the Uranian information on how sluggish M-21
appeared to be within the Dragon's Corridor. The Uranian quickly
deduced that M-21 was being fed power via Great Wall satellites,
discovering its weak point.
A short time later, Jimmy checked in on the recovering Temugin, who claimed to be ready to return to battle. Jimmy commended Temugin and announced his plans to storm the Great Wall's headquarters the following day. Venus questioned whether or not it was too soon for such an offensive but a grim Jimmy replied back that the war ended the next day, one way or another. The next day, Jimmy led the Atlas Foundation forces on a large assault on the Great Wall society's headquarters and as the battle heated up, Jimmy questioned what Gorilla-Man had done to the now-smack-talking Human Robot. Gorilla-Man claimed they had only encouraged the robot's smack-talking and when the Jade Claw's tanks entered the fray, Namora appeared with an army of Atlanteans to aid Atlas. M-21 soon unleashed its neuro wave to incapacitate everyone within listening distance, prompting the Human Robot to step up to battle M-21 one-on-one again, and while the two robots fought, Jimmy had the Uranian destroy the Jade Claw's satellites empowering M-21. The Human Robot then quickly gained the upper hand, destroying M-21, and after Venus punched the Jade Claw to the ground, Jimmy helped Suwan to her feet as he turned over the Jade Claw's empire over to Temugin to get it more in line with the Atlas Foundation's goals. Later, Jimmy joined the others in a mass funeral for those lost during the war of the two Atlas factions and when Derek Khanata warned that Temugin and Suwan might hook up as Temugin managed her empire, a calm Jimmy replied that he didn't mind whatever as long as it kept Suwan away from him. Yao and Lao both congratulated each other on their actions and Jimmy looked over at Lao suspiciously when Lao mentioned that the "great game" had begun.
(X-Men vs. Agents of Atlas#1) - After his teammate
Venus went missing, Jimmy Woo led the Agents of Atlas on an
investigation of the former X-Men headquarters known as Graymalkin
Industries in an effort to use their mutant-tracking Cerebra system to
locate Venus. Once Gorilla-Man had knocked out two of the H.A.M.M.E.R.
guards there working for Norman Osborn, Jimmy ordered two Atlas agents,
Xan and Min, to assume the guards' patrol in disguise while they
ventured into the facility. When Jimmy expressed hope that Gorilla-Man
would not need to use any of the extra firepower he'd brought along,
the Uranian remarked that media seemed to show much hostility from the
mutants and Jimmy replied that they hated Osborn so they couldn't be
all bad. He then reminded his team that they didn't have time to
discuss the particulars, as they had a missing teammate to find. During
their investigation, the Agents of Atlas encountered Madison Jeffries
and knocked him out to continue but when the X-Man Pixie arrived to
check on Jeffries, the Uranian cast a telepathic illusion that made
Jimmy Woo appear as Jeffries and Woo successfully talked Pixie into
returning in four hours without the Agents of Atlas having to also
subdue her. Once Pixie had left, Woo asked the Uranian for a status
update regarding the Cerebra system and the Uranian confirmed that he
had disabled Cerebra from sending alerts so he could focus on altering
it for his usage to find Venus, noting that most of the mutants had
left Graymalkin for their Utopia island headquarters by that point and
weren't using Graymalkin. When Gorilla-Man questioned why the Uranian
simply couldn't track Venus like he once had with Jimmy and the Uranian
replied by revealing that he had implanted a transponder into Jimmy
when he rejuvenated Jimmy to his 1958 prime, prompting a concerned
Jimmy to touch the back of his head.
Pixie soon returned to the X-Men and reported that Madison Jeffries refused coffee and said he'd be ready in four hours but Woo (posing as Madison Jeffries)'s refusal of coffee alerted X-Men leader Cyclops that something was off and when Emma Frost had the Stepford Cuckoos telepathically search Graymalkin Industries, they picked Woo's barking out orders, a gorilla, a human/Atlantean hybrid and a strong telepath working on Cerebra, impressions that Wolverine immediately recognized as the Agents of Atlas. Jimmy Woo eventually suggested they link Cerebra to the Hidden City's computers so they could return there to finish their work but the X-Men teleported into Graymalkin to confront them. The Human Robot immediately put up a force field to protect Jimmy and the others and Jimmy ordered the Agents of Atlas to get into the lift beam of the Uranian's ship to make their escape. The X-Men quickly disabled the lift beam, forcing the Agents of Atlas to defend themselves and during the ensuing battle, Jimmy managed to kick Cyclops in the head and the Uranian cast a telepathic illusion that distracted the X-Men long enough for the Agents of Atlas to escape with Cerebra in tow. Jimmy and the Agents then returned to the Hidden City, where Jimmy was informed that no progress had been made in locating Venus. Tracking Cerebra to the Hidden City, a larger squad of the X-Men soon teleported into the City to confront Atlas.
(X-Men vs. Agents of Atlas#2) - A massive ensued
within the Hidden City between the X-Men and the Atlas Foundation, with
Jimmy Woo commanding all Atlas agents to use non-lethal force. During
the fight, the X-Men's recovering founder Professor X telepathically
tried to locate the person that had stolen Cerebra, only for his astral
self to be pulled in by the Cerebra circuit, and he inadvertently
pulled Woo and the Agents of Atlas, and the founding X-Men, into an
illusory world where Woo's Department Zero existed at the same time the
original X-Men were training under Professor X.
(X-Men vs. Agents of Atlas#1 / 2) - Within the telepathic illusion, Jimmy Woo and his Department Zero team were attacked by the original X-Men for being part of the criminal Atlas Foundation that had mutating African wildlife and for stealing a computer unit from the X-Men's mansion. Both groups thinking each team were affiliated with the mutated wildlife, Department Zero and the X-Men battled one another and during the battle, Woo was confused when Venus' song didn't seem to affect him. As Woo wondered if perhaps he was developing an immunity to her song, Beast noticed some things around them not making sense, such as Cyclops' force beams matching the Human Robot's energy beams equally, and he also seemed to recognize Gorilla-Man's scent. The confusion continued, with the X-Men forgetting which computer part had been stolen and Jimmy Woo not recalling whether he had seen his teammate Marvel Boy or not. The X-Men were soon downed when Namora arrived, apologizing to Jimmy for arriving late to the battle.
(X-Men vs. Agents of Atlas#2) - Still within
Professor X's illusion, Namora announced that she was working with
Jimmy Woo but Cyclops, thinking Namora had killed Marvel Girl, savagely
attacked Namora. Jimmy pulled a gun on Cyclops but Cyclops fired an
optic blast, hitting Jimmy and seemingly breaking Jimmy's neck at the
same time Jimmy fired his gun to hit Cyclops. Beast and Gorilla-Man
rushed to save their teammates but confusion again affected all
present, with their illusory memories mixing with their real memories.
When Cyclops and Jimmy both appeared to be fine despite their serious
injuries, both teams began to feel as if they were being tricked.
Marvel Boy ultimately used his powers to connect the X-Men back to
Professor X, who appeared and confirmed that he had been trying to
telepathically determine who had taken Cerebra when his consciousness
was pulled in by the computer alongside those consciousness of the
Agents of Atlas and founding X-Men. Marvel Boy then realized that
Cerebra had pulled in Professor X due to the conflicting technology of
both Cerebra and his own Uranian headband. Professor X and the Uranian
then ended the illusion and Woo explained how their teammate Venus had
went missing and how they'd hoped Cerebra's mental amplifier could help
them locate her. Namora further admitted that Atlas initially had no
time for diplomacy and Professor X informed them all that he would
telepathically explain the situation to the other X-Men present in
reality.
Back in reality again, Jimmy Woo
apologized to the X-Men, admitting that the decision to go after
Cerebra was his. After Emma Frost allowed the Uranian guest access to
Cerebra and he learned that Venus was being held in the Adirondack
Mountains, Jimmy ordered the Agents of Atlas back to the Uranian's
saucer so they could go rescue Venus. Jimmy thanked Cyclops for
assisting in Atlas' search for Venus and assured Cyclops that if the
X-Men ever needed the help of the Atlas Foundation, he would have it.
Cyclops in turn thanked Woo and when he remarked that most people
didn't like to be affiliated with the X-Men, a smiling Woo stated that
it would not hurt Atlas' reputation one bit. The Agents of Atlas then
rushed to the Adirondacks, where they found Venus being attacked by her
Greek goddess namesake, Aphrodite, in the form of a giant stone statue.
(X-Men vs. Agents of Atlas#2 / Assault on New Olympus
#1 / 2 (fb)) - Woo ordered the Human Robot to disarm the statue and
Namora smashed the
rest of the statue as the Agents rescued Venus.
(X-Men vs. Agents of Atlas#2) - Venus revealed how
she
had angered the Greek gods and asked Jimmy to get her out of there,
unaware that the real Aphrodite was watching them all from the Olympus
Group Tower in Manhattan via a scrying pool.
(Assault on New Olympus #1 / 2) - When Venus departed the Hidden City in a trance-like state, Woo and the other Agents of Atlas followed and found her being called by the demon Phorcys, who had been informed of Venus' survival into the modern era by Aphrodite. Phorcys forced Venus to sing in an effort to lure bystanders in to devour but Woo and the others went into action to save the entranced civilians. Woo quickly yelled for Venus to stop singing and when he asked the Uranian what he could throw at Phorcys, the Uranian hit Phorcys with his saucer's Meteor Smasher weapon, knocking Phorcys back and stopping Venus' singing. Namora and the Human Robot then went into action and Woo commended the Agents of Atlas on their attack, noting that Phorcys appeared to be reeling. Regaining his footing, Phorcys retaliated, knocking Woo and the Human Robot towards the river. Gorilla-Man rescued Woo and Woo thanked Gorilla-Man, realizing that they hadn't even weakened Phorcys, who had Venus began singing anew.
(Incredible Hercules I#138 / 2) - Phorcys again grasped up Jimmy Woo, this time alongside Namora and Gorilla-Man as well. As Phorcys pulled Woo and Gorilla-Man towards his maw, Woo pleaded with Venus to stop singing and attempted to remind her of the heroine she had become. Distracted by Jimmy's pleas, Venus came to her senses and turned against Phorcys, who dropped Jimmy and the other Agents to focus on Venus. The Human Robot rescued the falling Jimmy and Gorilla-Man and when Gorilla-Man ordered the Human Robot to get them away from Phorcys, Jimmy noticed that Phorcys was retreating, claiming that the cosmos was changing and that there would soon be no place for gods. Gorilla-Man joked that Phorcys was retreating since he didn't get to eat a bunch of drowned people but Jimmy Woo suspected there was more to Phorcys' departure than that and he ordered the Uranian to set his saucer on a course for Manhattan, tired of waiting for gods to come after Venus. Recalling the Atlas Foundation's ties to New York's Olympus Group, Jimmy had the Uranian fly them to the Olympus Group, where he suspected the Greek gods were hiding in plain sight in the form of a business. When the Uranian proved unable to penetrate the Olympus Group's outer force fields, Jimmy had the Uranian take them underground and they exited the saucer into a cavern. As they approached the Olympus Group on foot, Jimmy and the Agents of Atlas were met by various creatures from Greek mythology, who proclaimed that anyone who approached New Olympus would know death.
(Incredible Hercules I#139 / 2) - The Uranian
immediately cast a telepathic and holographic illusion on the Olympian
creatures, making Jimmy and the others appear as Greek centurions and
Gorilla-Man appear as Venus' mount. Jimmy at first thought the illusion
was working but the monstrous Chimera soon noticed that Woo and the
others did not smell like typical Olympians. When the Chimera
threatened to test their Olympian nature by burning them alive to see
if they survived, Woo and the Agents of Atlas revealed their ruse and
the Olympian creatures attacked the Agents. Battling Olympian
skeletons, Woo suggested they get through the guardian creatures
quickly, as there was no telling what else the Olympus Group would
throw at them. As the battle progressed, a satyr guard reported back to
Aphrodite that Venus and the Agents of Atlas were there.
(Incredible Hercules I#140 / 2) - Jimmy Woo came to
the rescue of the Uranian, who proved unable to telepathically affect
the Olympian skeletons and the Agents of Atlas eventually managed to
defeat all of the creatures present before the Uranian dropped his
illusion. Namora soon heard the voice of the demigod Hercules on the
other side of the wall and the Human Robot interfaced with one of the
Olympian god Hephaestus' automatons, from which Woo and the other
Agents witnessed Hercules and his ally Amadeus Cho battling Hephaestus.
When Hephaestus' automatons disappeared and the Human Robot lost its
visual interface with one of the automatons, Jimmy ordered the Human
Robot to restore visuals but the Uranian scanned the area, confirming
that the automatons had disappeared alongside many other things on the
Earth's surface. As the Uranian deduced that someone Hercules was
battling had created an pocket universe that was slowly displacing the
existing one, Jimmy suggested the Agents get inside to stop the
overriding universe but the Uranian noted that they were unlikely to
break through the wall, further commenting that he was receiving
strange readings regarding reality itself. Namora soon failed to break
through the wall and as she collapsed, confessing her love for
Hercules, Jimmy Woo oddly asked that she save her heart for Woo
himself. The Uranian then uncharacteristically proclaimed Venus to be
the most beautiful woman in existence and a confused Gorilla-Man and
Venus quickly realized what was happening when the goddess Aphrodite
appeared before them.
(Incredible Hercules I#141 / 2) - Controlling the Agents of Atlas, Aphrodite had the enthralled Namora capture Jimmy Woo and the Uranian to force Venus into a confrontation. As Venus and Aphrodite sang against one another, Woo and his Agents, and even the Olympian creatures present, were affected by the singing. After Venus and Aphrodite ultimately affected each other with their songs, a regretful Aphrodite gave her title of goddess of love to Venus and departed to find a new way of life, leaving behind Jimmy and the Agents of Atlas. With Venus the new goddess of love, some of the Olympian creatures carved a stone statue of Venus with a slab behind her depicting Jimmy and Venus' other teammates.
(Avengers vs. Atlas#2 / 2 (fb) - BTS) - At some
point, Mr. Lao trained Jimmy in a new martial arts style that Jimmy
added to his already impressive FBI and S.H.I.E.L.D. training.
(Thunderbolts I#139) - After Norman Osborn sent his
Thunderbolts squad to kill Jimmy Woo and the Agents of Atlas, he
assigned former ATF head Grizzly to the Thunderbolts to fill them in on
the Atlas agents due to his past experience with them. As the
Thunderbolts traveled towards their targets, Grizzly explained how
former S.H.I.E.L.D. subdirector Jimmy Woo had taken over the Atlas
Foundation from the Yellow Claw and Jimmy's martial arts, shooting and
strategist talents. Grizzly also informed the Thunderbolts that Woo
kept his Agents of Atlas close to him and how the Agents followed
Jimmy's orders to the letter. In an effort to lure out the Agents of
Atlas, the Thunderbolts were ordered to destroy an Atlas chemical
warfare plant in Bayou Choupique, Louisiana and once they had arrived,
Grizzly informed the Thunderbolts that Atlas likely didn't know they
owned the chemical warfare plant, as record keeping on Atlas front
companies were kept on the down low despite Jimmy Woo actively trying
to shut down the Atlas Foundation's dirty operations. A few minutes
after the Thunderbolts blew up the plant, Woo and the Agents of Atlas
were on the scene to investigate, much as the Thunderbolts expected.
The Thunderbolts immediately began firing on Woo and the Agents of
Atlas but they were protected by the Uranian's saucer force field and
when the Gorilla-Man suggested the attack seemed like the work of
Norman Osborn, Jimmy ordered the Agents to end the fight quickly by
having Venus sing. The singing initially worked but the disturbed
Scourge suffered illusory flashbacks and began firing wildly, forcing
Jimmy to order Venus to get down. Jimmy quickly tackled the confused
Venus for her own safety and he later rushed to assist Gorilla-Man
against the mercenary Paladin.
The Agents of Atlas made quick
work of the rest
of the Thunderbolts and after the Uranian put out the plant fire, Jimmy
commended his team on their work. He then asked if anyone knew what
sort of Atlas plant the Thunderbolts had bombed and the Gorilla-Man
replied that there wasn't much left of the plant to investigate,
expressing his suspicions that the plant was bombed purely to lure the
Agents of Atlas into a trap. Namora and Gorilla-Man soon began to
experience coughing and itching symptoms and, following a quick
chemical scan of the area, the Uranian suggested they all return to his
saucer immediately, as the burning chemicals were mixing with the swamp
gas, infecting Woo and the others with the chemicals. As the Uranian
noticed traces of the chemicals on Woo and his other teammates, the
Thunderbolt Scourge ambushed the Uranian and seemingly slashed him open
with a sword.
(Thunderbolts I#140) - An angry Jimmy Woo rushed to Scourge and put a gun to the Thunderbolt's head but the Thunderbolts' Mister X jump-kicked the gun from Jimmy's hand, prompting a battle between the two. The Thunderbolts gained the upper hand in the renewed fight but when Venus noticed the seemingly mortally wounded Uranian, she began to cry, her powers causing the Thunderbolts to experience their worst nightmares. The Uranian soon revealed that his gutting was a telepathic ruse and he began gathering the poisoned Agents of Atlas up. Gorilla-Man noticed Jimmy's burned skin and suggested Jimmy get into the saucer first but Jimmy insisted on staying behind to make sure everyone else made it back into saucer first. Before departing, Jimmy had the Uranian link minds with him to re-enter the fractured psyche and thoughts of the Scourge. Upon seeing the schizophrenic flashes of Scourge's memories, Jimmy had the Uranian plant a thought into the Scourge's mind so that Scourge would be triggered to kill Norman Osborn the next time he saw him. Jimmy then entered the saucer with the Uranian and the Agents of Atlas departed the scene, leaving the Thunderbolts behind with their failure.
Once onboard the Uranian's saucer,
the Uranian
had Jimmy and the other Agents placed into a healing pool that cleansed
them all of the toxic gas poisoning. As Jimmy healed, the Uranian
admitted that he wasn't sure if the implanted programming in the
Scourge's mind would successfully work, given the short amount of time
they had to implant the programming. Jimmy commended the Uranian on
doing the right thing but the Uranian quickly sensed another mind
onboard the saucer and he exposed the Thunderbolts' Ghost, who had
snuck onto the ship while invisible in an effort to investigate Atlas'
technology. Jimmy ordered the Uranian to capture Ghost, leaping from
his healing pool to pursue Ghost as well. The Uranian erected a density
field that phased Ghost out of the ship and they continued on their
way, unaware that Scourge returned to the Thunderbolts' Cube base,
where he killed his teammate Headsman while trying to murder a Norman
Osborn hologram.
(Avengers vs. Atlas#2 / 2) - Per a tip from Mr. Lao,
Jimmy Woo investigated the Atlas Hibachi restaurant, which Mr. Lao
claimed was an Atlas Foundation front company still loyal to the Golden
Claw that possessed an ornate golden box of great importance. The bored
Jimmy began to suspect Mr. Lao was wrong and that he could actually
enjoy a quiet night of hibachi food until one of the cooks attacked
Jimmy with a two-pronged fork, stabbing Jimmy's tie as Jimmy ducked out
of the way. More cooks followed but Jimmy managed to take them down and
make his way to the back of the restaurant, where he located the golden
box Mr. Lao had sent him to acquire. Before Jimmy could grasp the box,
a giant octopus attacked him from a nearby tank. Jimmy managed to grab
a kitchen knife to cut his way free but the octopus tore a gas line
moments before one of the cooks that Jimmy had earlier set on fire ran
into the room, causing an explosion that destroyed Atlas Hibachi.
Recovering in the rubble that was once a restaurant, Jimmy spotted the
golden box and grabbed it up, returning to Mr. Lao. As Woo remarked
that the box better be worth it, Mr. Lao assured Jimmy that it was and
he opened the box to reveal a series of dumplings made from exotic sea
creatures. Woo angrily berated Mr. Lao for sending him on such a
dangerous mission for dumplings but Lao commended Woo on a good job.
When Lao offered a dumpling Woo, the angry Jimmy Woo claimed he had
lost his appetite.
(Avengers vs. Atlas#4 / 2) - Jimmy Woo visited the
storage areas where Gorilla-Man was storing the personal belongings of
those who attempted to kill him for immortality and asked why
Gorilla-Man was keeping all of the items. Gorilla-Man explained that
the belongings were a reminder that immortality seekers were always
coming, to which Jimmy reminded Gorilla-Man that he was the best
fighter he had seen in all of his years. When Jimmy noted that some
"random Joe" off the street would never be able to take Gorilla-Man
down, Gorilla-Man replied that the Gorilla-Man before him had thought
the same thing before he was killed by Ken Hale himself. Gorilla-Man
then walked away quietly, leaving Jimmy Woo standing there pondering
Gorilla-Man's words.
(Avengers vs. Atlas#1 (fb) - BTS) - Jimmy Woo and the
Agents of Atlas ventured to Crystal Caves, Mexico to investigate an
Atlas front company there.
(Avengers vs. Atlas#1) - Finding Crystal Caves
overrun with Atlas-created Crystalloid beings, Jimmy and the Agents of
Atlas got into a fierce battle against the Crystalloids, with Jimmy
noting they needed to shut this particular Atlas company down fast.
When the Uranian informed Jimmy of an unusual distortion in Arizona
that he felt the Agents of Atlas needed to investigate, a weary Jimmy
Woo commented that they were concerned about Mexico at the moment. In
an effort to hurry the battle along, the Uranian then used the data he
had collected to pinpoint the Crystalloids' weak points, allowing
Namora to smash them, and as the Agents of Atlas subsequently departed
the scene, Jimmy remarked on how every time they made headway against
the criminal Atlas front companies, more seemed to spring up. Venus
joked that perhaps the next time a criminal mastermind offered Jimmy
his entire empire, Jimmy should consider not agreeing so fast. Jimmy
then turned his attention towards the distortion the Uranian had
earlier mentioned and when the Uranian informed Jimmy that the
distortion appeared to be temporal in nature, Jimmy commented that it
was still early and that the Agents didn't have to settle on one
emergency per day.
Investigating the disturbance in
Arizona, Woo and the Agents of Atlas found the area swarming with
subterranean Lava Men. Most of the Agents' abilities proved unable to
affect the Lava Men and when Gorilla-Man blasted one to pieces, Jimmy
admitted that he would like to defeat the Lava Men without killing
them. After the Uranian confirmed that the Lava Men could reconstitute
themselves, however, Jimmy ordered the Human Robot to destroy them all.
Following the battle, the Uranian deduced that the Lava Men had
appeared due to some sort of anomaly and when a strange, glowing,
twisted being appeared, Jimmy attempted to question it but it
disappeared almost as fast as it had appeared. The Uranian then
detected a disturbance in Manhattan, growing as the glowing being
disappeared from Arizona, and the Agents of Atlas rushed to New York
City, hoping to uncover the cause of the temporal disturbances.
Arriving on the scene to find the Avengers battling the Growing Man,
Woo suggested the Agents of Atlas aid the Avengers to prove their true
heroic nature following their previous encounter with the Avengers
during which the Agents of Atlas were masquerading as criminals.
Unaware of the Growing Man's ability to absorb kinetic energy to grow
larger and more powerful, Woo had the Uranian use his saucer's Meteor
Smasher against the Growing Man, only to quickly realize their mistake.
The Avengers were soon convinced of the Agents of Atlas' true nature
when the Growing Man retaliated by attacking the Uranian's saucer.
Following the Growing Man's
destruction at the hands of Wolverine and Namora, Jimmy and the rest of
the Agents of Atlas met with the Avengers, insisting they simply wanted
to help and informing them of the temporal distortions they had been
tracking. The glowing being appeared moments later and, as Woo and the
Agents watched, it began absorbing the Avengers into itself,
reversing time locally on them before replacing them with Earth-12211's
early Avengers.
(Avengers vs. Atlas#2) - Thinking Jimmy and the
Agents of Atlas were pawns of the time-traveling Kang the Conqueror,
the Avengers of Earth-12211 attacked the Agents with Jimmy narrowly
avoiding a repulsor blast from Iron Man. As the battle progressed,
Jimmy attempted to get the Avengers to stop fighting but Captain
America backhanded Jimmy, noting that few villains ever tried to simply
get them to "stop fighting." The Uranian distracted the Avengers with
telepathic illusions and when Captain America paused, seeing Bucky
Barnes within the Human Robot's mechanical body, Jimmy Woo knocked
Captain America with a kick to the head. Venus eventually calmed the
male Avengers with a song but the Wasp soon hit Venus with a sting
blast, at which point Jimmy and other Agents of Atlas readied
themselves for more fighting. Rather than renew the fight, however,
Jimmy ordered the Agents to stand down and he introduced himself and
his team, insisting that they were not agents of Kang. Jimmy then
questioned whether Kang could be causing the temporal anomalies they
had been experiencing and when the Avengers admitted Kang could be
behind the anomalies, the Uranian urged Jimmy to watch what he said in
case the Avengers of Earth-12211 were actually the time-displaced
Avengers of their home reality of Earth-616. The Avengers agreed but
when the Uranian sensed the glowing being near them, Thor attempted to
harm the being with lightning, exacerbating its temporal effect,
causing it to absorb Iron Man and deposit Earth-12211's Hulk in his
place.
(Avengers vs. Atlas#3) - An earlier incarnation of
Earth-12211's Iron Man emerged shortly after to aid the Avengers in
battling the Hulk and a confused Jimmy Woo asked the Uranian what was
going on. Before the Uranian could fully explain, Captain America had
Thor open a vortex to bring the fight away from civilians and the
vortex pulled in the glowing being, Jimmy and the Agents of Atlas as
well. Emerging from Thor's portal in Norway, Jimmy joined the Avengers
in battling the Hulk by firing his guns and ordering the Human Robot to
use its death ray on the monster. During the battle, the Uranian
examined the glowing being and determined it to be a combination of two
eventualities into a singular being, only to be absorbed into the being
as well, much to Jimmy's surprise. When Jimmy asked Gorilla-Man what
was going on, they both watched as an earlier counterpart of Bob
Grayson from his time as Marvel Boy was deposited. Captain America soon
rallied everyone together against the Hulk and Jimmy ordered the Agents
of Atlas to follow Cap's lead and all heroes present combined their
efforts against the Hulk. Once the Hulk was calmed by Venus and
transformed into Dr. Bruce Banner, the time-displaced Marvel Boy asked
Jimmy what was going on and Jimmy attempted to explain how Marvel Boy's
older self had been the closest to understanding the situation. He then
expressed concern that they had lost the information they had on the
temporal disturbances but Earth-12211's Giant-Man revealed that the
Uranian had telepathically sent the information into his mind before he
was absorbed by the glowing being.
As Giant-Man explained the
phenomena and the Wasp suggested Kang as the culprit behind the
disturbances, Jimmy questioned who Kang was and following a brief
explanation from the Earth-12211 Avengers, Jimmy ordered the Human
Robot to display how the original battle between Kang and the Avengers
played out on Earth-616. Upon learning that Earth-616's Avengers won
the battle whereas the Earth-12211 Avengers were transported to
Earth-616 instead, questions arose from the Avengers and Agents of
Atlas regarding the glowing being that seemed to be causing the
temporal disturbances and Giant-Man had the time-displaced Marvel Boy
project a photon stream to determine the being's location, only to to
find it larger than ever and about to crash atop them all.
(Avengers vs. Atlas#4) - As the glowing being appeared to be ready to crash over Earth-12211's Avengers and the Agents of Atlas, Jimmy warned Namora to get back or risk the temporal anomaly placing her back in ice. Dr. Bruce Banner and Giant-Man soon noticed how the anomaly expanded to reign in the Avengers and when they realized the anomaly appeared to be taking particular interest in the Wasp, Jimmy asked if Marvel Boy could read the anomalous being's mind but Marvel Boy admitted he could only read garbled thoughts that seemed louder the nearer they came to the Wasp. Venus soon had the Wasp sing alongside her, causing the being to converge on the Wasp's voice, syncing its thoughts together enough for Jimmy to have Marvel Boy lock onto the thoughts. Figuring that he knew the Wasp the best, Giant-Man opted to enter the anomaly himself in an effort to help determine what the anomaly wanted with the Wasp and when he asked Marvel Boy to link his mind to the anomaly, Marvel Boy was at first unsure if he could accomplish such a feat but Jimmy assured Marvel Boy that his future self was capable of doing so after he had learned of and disabled an inhibitor in his headband. Marvel Boy then successfully linked Giant-Man to the anomaly and when Giant-Man paused in silence, Jimmy asked Marvel Boy to loop him in as well so he could see what was happening. Marvel Boy opted instead to telepathically loop everyone in and they all discovered that the anomaly had been caused when a divergent Hank Pym had attempted to ensure his own divergent survival by anchoring himself to the Wasp in time, only to find that she was dead in the modern era of Earth-616. Earth-12211's Giant-Man was soon absorbed into the anomaly, now dubbed the Chronovirus due to its parasitic nature within time, and with Giant-Man's help, the Chronovirus attempted a larger push towards anchoring itself into existence, threatening to destroy the entire reality of Earth-616. Realizing that they could not permanently exist without destroying Earth-616, the divergent Earth-12211 Avengers opted to sacrifice themselves to destroy the Chronovirus, with Captain America suggesting Jimmy and the Agents of Atlas let them take the lead for their own safety. Jimmy agreed and pulled his gun, asking Captain America to say the word and they would attack from afar.
Once Captain America gave the word, the Avengers rushed towards the Chronovirus with Jimmy and the Agents of Atlas backing them up from behind. As the Avengers destroyed the Chronovirus, the temporal anomalies began to correct themselves with the modern Uranian returning to Earth-616. With the Uranian restored to his proper place in time, Jimmy ordered the Agents of Atlas to pull back as the Chronovirus disappeared in a bright flash of light. Following the flash, Jimmy Woo checked to make sure his whole team was present and accounted for and the Uranian confirmed everyone was present. The modern era Earth-616 Avengers led by Luke Cage then reappeared as well and when they asked if the Agents of Atlas had managed to defeat the glowing being they had earlier encountered, Jimmy suggested having the Uranian telepathically explain the events in their mind, as he wasn't sure he could do the description justice. He then elaborated, stating that while Cage's Avengers were gone, the Avengers nonetheless didn't hesitate to make the ultimate sacrifice.
(Wolverine IV#900 / 2 (fb) - BTS) - At some point,
Wolverine heard of the Yellow Claw once being taken down by
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s upper echelon including Nick Fury and Jimmy Woo, though
he was unaware that particular Yellow Claw was a robot.
(Wolverine IV#900 / 2 - BTS) - While Wolverine was investigating a shakedown operation in San Francisco's Chinatown, he was told by the local Run Run that the building had history involving the flower Yellow Claw, whom Wolverine recalled as being a villain taken down by S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Nick Fury, Jimmy Woo and others.
(Darkstar & the Winter Guard I#1 (fb) - BTS) -
Jimmy Woo and the Agents of Atlas were drawn into a battle against
Atlanteans in Vladivostok, Russia when the Atlantean Warlord Krang
kidnapped Namora in an attempt to marry her. While there, the Agents
were aided by Russia's Winter Guard and the Uranian taught Jimmy and
the other Agents Russian telepathically so they could all communicate
with one another.
(Darkstar & the Winter Guard I#1 (fb)) - When
Krang refused to relinquish the unconscious Namora and as the Agents of
Atlas battled Krang's forces, Jimmy commented that one would think
Krang would have picked a better place to spawn than Vladivostok. The
Winter Guard's Red Guardian remarked back that perhaps next time, the
Guardian would invite Krang to invade Jimmy's home instead. The Uranian
noted that he could combine the energies of his saucer's warp core
drive with that of the Crimson Dynamo's fusion beam to open a
dimensional tear through which to banish Krang and his forces and when
the Winter Guard sought to do exactly that despite the Uranian's
warnings, Jimmy ordered the Human Robot and Venus to provide backup.
Following the defeat of Krang, Jimmy and the others mingled with the
Winter Guard until news reporters showed up, prompting the Winter Guard
to quickly jump into their roles as public heroes. As the Agents of
Atlas flew away in the Uranian's saucer, Gorilla-Man griped about the
Winter Guard getting camera crews and the discussion of how different
the Winter Guard's world was than their own was interrupted when Jimmy
Woo informed the team that there was trouble brewing in Hawaii that
needed their attention.
(Enter the Heroic Age#1 / 2) - Traveling to Hawaii to
discover that the Kree CPU they had battled in 1958 had returned in a
metallic body as a Kree Sentry, Jimmy led the Agents of Atlas to defeat
the robot.
(Atlas I#1 (fb) - BTS / Enter the Heroic Age#1 / 2) -
After experiencing dreams
glimpsing Earth-10170, in which a wheelchair-bound Jimmy Woo led the
Avengers, the 3-D Man witnessed the Agents of Atlas' defeat of the Kree
Sentry in Hawaii via television and realized the beings he had dreamed
of were real. He then began investigating Jimmy and the other Agents of
Atlas he recognized from his dreams.
(Atlas I#1) - Following Jimmy and the Agents of Atlas to a restaurant in San Francisco, 3-D Man waited until they were leaving and attempted to confront them but the Agents evaded 3-D Man as if they didn't see him. 3-D Man continued following them, reporting back to his friend Hal Chandler, the original 3-D Man, until he tracked them into the Hidden City. Bringing 3-D Man before him, Jimmy Woo commended 3-D Man on his tracking skills and revealed to the hero that he had found the Hidden City, a place few knew even existed.
(Atlas I#2) - Thinking he had been led into a trap,
3-D Man ran off despite Jimmy's protests, right into the lair of Mr.
Lao. Namora kept Mr. Lao from devouring 3-D Man and Venus halted Lao
entirely with a song, impressing Woo, who admitted he had no idea Venus
could influence Mr. Lao. When Venus revealed that her powers seemed to
work on almost any creature since accepting the role of Greek goddess
of love, Jimmy expressed wishes that Venus had saved that ability as an
ace in the hole. A confused 3-D Man then asked who Jimmy and his allies
were and, after the Uranian had revealed a slight telepathic intrusion
to learn who 3-D Man was, Jimmy apologized for prying and explained how
the Atlas Foundation had a lot at stake to lose should information
about them get out. He then invited 3-D Man into the Hidden City's
meditation chamber for an information exchange. Once inside, Jimmy had
the Uranian link their minds so he could easily relate his history to
3-D Man. After Jimmy related the formation of Department Zero in the
1950s, his rejuvenation in the modern era and acceptance of leadership
of the Atlas Foundation, 3-D Man explained how his dreams involved
Jimmy and his friends in the 1950s and how he was playing the role of
the original 3-D Man, Chuck Chandler. 3-D Man then asked if the
original 3-D Man had ever worked with Department Zero but Jimmy
answered in the negative before asking what he and his friends were
doing in 3-D Man's dreams. 3-D Man explained that they were fighting
corpses in New England, prompting Venus to recall the Department's 1958
mission against the Electroghouls.
The Uranian then suggested he
telepathically generate visions of 3-D Man's recent memories to Jimmy
and the others so they could all see the dreams 3-D Man had been
plagued with. After viewing 3-D Man's recent time with the Fifty-State
Initiative and some of the original 3-D Man's memories, the Uranian dug
deeper and projected Jimmy and the others into memories of 3-D Man's
dreams, placing them all into the roles of their Earth-10170
counterparts. Jimmy questioned why he was in a wheelchair behind a desk
in the memories and Gorilla-Man immediately noticed something off in
3-D Man's dream, namely that the culprit behind the Electroghouls was
the skeletal Skull-Face rather than the Yellow Claw. The conversation
was soon interrupted when Derek Khanata sent a communication from
Iceland explaining that he needed assistance against a criminal Atlas
operation there. Jimmy assured Khanata that they would be shortly and
invited 3-D Man to join them on the mission. 3-D Man accepted but
wondered aloud how Jimmy's own organization could be the culprit,
prompting Jimmy to explain how the Atlas Foundation was a huge
organization with a lot of operations to root down and shut down.
A short time later, Jimmy and the Agents of Atlas (with 3-D Man in tow) arrived in Iceland and were greeted by Derek Khanata, who revealed that the criminal Icelandic Atlas Foundation agents were fighting back using giant subterranean creatures. Jimmy immediately ordered Gorilla-Man to go after those controlling the creatures. Gorilla-Man and 3-D Man soon took control of two of the creatures and used them to fight the others until Jimmy ordered 3-D Man to cover his ears so Venus could sing. After Venus lured the subterraneans back underground, 3-D Man thanked Jimmy for inviting him but remarked on how he felt outclassed by powerhouses like Namora. Jimmy admitted he knew how 3-D Man felt, noting that, on paper, he appeared to be the weakest link in the Agents of Atlas...except when he wasn't. While they took the Uranian's saucer back to the Hidden City, Jimmy revealed to 3-D Man that he did not think of their missions militarily but rather, like a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors, as certain abilities of his teammates were better suited for certain threats. 3-D Man thanked Jimmy for his insight but when he noted that he was still no closer to uncovering the meaning of his dreams or what both he and Hal Chandler had been attacked prior to meeting Atlas, Jimmy asked 3-D Man where the attack happened and joked that 3-D Man should prepare himself for the best crime scene investigation he had ever experienced. 3-D Man informed the Uranian that an attack occurred in Flagstaff while Jimmy Woo and all present remained unaware they were being watched by three-eyed extraterrestrials.
(Atlas I#3) - Jimmy Woo accompanied 3-D Man and the
rest of the Agents of Atlas to the Flagstaff, Arizona home of Hal
Chandler, where Hal had been attacked. Upon learning from the Uranian's
telepathic recreation of the crime scene that both Hal and Chuck
Chandler had been attacked by state troopers, Jimmy suggested they
visit the police precinct to investigate further. Soon entering the
precinct telepathically invisible thanks to the Uranian, Jimmy and the
Agents searched for the two officers seen in the crime scene recreation
and when 3-D Man noticed a red aura around the officer Mike, Jimmy
suggested Gorilla-Man let the Uranian mind-scan the officer to see what
they could learn. Watching as the officers scanned the body of Chuck
Chandler for signs of the triple-energy that empowered 3-D Man, Jimmy
and the Agents remained telepathically invisible until the officers
detected the energy on the 3-D Man himself and the possessed body of
the injured Chuck Chandler sat up and pointed 3-D Man out. The Agents
quickly dropped their ruse and revealed their presence to save 3-D Man
from being shot but the beings left their host bodies, causing the
officers to pass out. The possessed Chuck Chandler warned 3-D Man about
further harm to his loved ones such as his girlfriend Sherri Dennon if
he did not surrender himself and when the being left Chuck's body, the
Uranian rushed Chuck Chandler to his saucer lab while Jimmy and the
Human Robot left to check on Sheri Dennon at the hospital.
The Uranian was able to stabilize Chuck Chandler following his possession and Jimmy Woo returned shortly after to inform 3-D Man that the possessed Sheri Dennon had died when the being possessing her forced her to leap out of a hospital window. A distraught 3-D Man and the Agents of Atlas then discussed what the possessing beings truly were and Jimmy remarked that the only thing they were certain of is that the beings were afraid of 3-D Man and they were harming his loved ones in an effort to show him they were still a threat despite not being able to directly harm 3-D Man. When they returned to the Hidden City, Jimmy and the others discovered that beings were possessing nearly all of the Atlas Foundation including Gorilla-Man's friend Chang. Jimmy then helped fight against the possessed Atlas members but when he had Venus sing, one of the possessed Atlas members hit Venus in the back with an arrow, halting her singing. Jimmy then ordered Namora to clear a path to the Atlas armory, where he hoped they could use sleeping gas bombs against the possessed agents, but Namora herself became possessed and she snatched up Jimmy and Gorilla-Man.
(Atlas I#4) - Holding Jimmy and Gorilla-Man by their necks, the possessed Namora threatened to kill them unless 3-D Man surrendered and 3-D Man nearly did until Namora realized she was no longer holding Jimmy and Gorilla-Man. Confused, the possessed Namora also noticed that the beings possessing the Atlas Foundation members seemed to be leaving their host bodies and abandoning her. A recovering Jimmy regrouped with the rest of the Agents of Atlas, noting that he'd be dead if Namora had squeezed his neck just slightly harder, and the Uranian revealed that he was telepathically disguising them to lead the possessed Namora into thinking her allies had fled. One of the beings instead exchanged hosts with the one possessing Namora and the newly-possessed Namora went after the Uranian as Jimmy pleaded with Namora to resist the being's influence. Despite the Human Robot's reluctance, Jimmy ordered the robot to attack the possessed Namora, fearing that the beings would use Namora to kill the Agents of Atlas, but the possessed Namora viciously backhanded Jimmy, knocking him out. The attack on Jimmy finally convinced the Human Robot to blast Namora, leaving Gorilla-Man, 3-D Man and the Human Robot to battle the rest of the possessed Atlas Foundation members. Mr. Lao soon entered the fray and burned the possessed Atlas members alive as Jimmy slowly recovered. While Jimmy weakly got to his feet, 3-D Man confirmed that the beings were leaving their Atlas hosts and Gorilla-Man ordered everyone to get their injured allies to the medical ward. Everyone rushed their teammates to the various medical wings and when Gorilla-Man assured Jimmy they were all fine, Jimmy grabbed a gun and fired on Mr. Lao, calling the dragon a monster for killing his own people. Mr. Lao argued that the beings were minutes from victory but Jimmy insisted that Lao didn't have to kill the Atlas members. Lao commented that he did indeed have to kill them and proceeded to show Jimmy, 3-D Man and Gorilla-Man Atlas' ancient history regarding the triangular insignia on 3-D Man's costume.
Mr. Lao revealed to Jimmy Woo and
the others that the three triangle insignia on 3-D Man's costume
referred to the reality of Earth-616, another reality linked to
Earth-616 and the Echo World, home of the possessing beings. The group
continued discussing the Echo Worlders and the triple-energy from each
of the three linked planes until the Uranian telepathically interrupted
from his healing chamber to inform them that Atlas Foundation warrior
Chang had captured one of the Echo Worlders within his own mind. A
short time later, Jimmy visited the Atlas infirmary to check on Venus
and she assured the relieved Jimmy that she was recovering from her
arrow injury. When Namora commented that, despite needing a bit of
Venus' godly fortitude, she was ready to renew her hunt for the Echo
Worlders, Jimmy ordered Namora to stay in her vat of seawater to heal,
as he needed both Venus and Namora at full strength. Suggesting he may
have some new info for Namora and Venus a bit later, Jimmy returned to
the Uranian and Chang, arriving shortly after Chang lost his possessor
when the possessor's allies killed him on Echo World. When Jimmy
commented that it was too bad they couldn't get more intel from the
Echo Worlder before he was killed, the Uranian revealed that he had
telepathically read a mass of data from the Echo Worlder, including how
to travel to their world.
(Atlas I#4 / 2) - Jimmy met with Mr. Lao as 3-D Man remarked to Gorilla-Man that the Atlas monks and scholars might be angry at Lao for killing their allies. The Uranian soon announced that he had everything ready for dimensional projection and he asked Jimmy and the others to meet him in his saucer's control center. Once inside, Jimmy learned that the Uranian could telepathically project each of the Agents of Atlas into the body of someone on Echo World and Jimmy agreed to participate alongside Gorilla-Man, 3-D Man and the Uranian himself. During the projection, 3-D Man spotted an Echo Worlder possessing an Atlas Foundation scholar and he stopped the Echo Worlder from killing Jimmy and the others with a bomb, only to learn that Jimmy, the Uranian and the Gorilla-Man had already left their dimension and 3-D Man could no longer join them. Noting to Atlas' Dr. Zu that he was the gateway through which Jimmy and the others could project themselves to Echo World, 3-D Man asked Dr. Zu where they had ended up without him to act as the gateway. Jimmy soon awoke in the disabled body of his much older Earth-10170 counterpart and realized he could no longer walk. The Uranian telepathically assured Jimmy he would be there shortly and suggested Jimmy act natural until they could figure out what had happened. The Uranian subsequently arrived, also in the body of his Earth-10170 counterpart, and he suggested Jimmy think his replies to him since they were not native to that reality. The Uranian also informed Jimmy that he had checked on Gorilla-Man and that they had all been transported to Earth-10170, the reality linked to Earth-616 that Mr. Lao had earlier spoke of. Jimmy and the Uranian were then led into a party celebrating the founding of the Earth-10170 Avengers.
Regrouping with Gorilla-Man, who
also was possessing his Earth-10170 counterpart, Jimmy and the Uranian
telepathically discussed how 3-D Man had disconnected during the
transfer, projecting their minds to Earth-10170 instead of Echo World.
As Earth-10170's Captain America began a speech celebrating Jimmy's
Earth-10170 counterpart forming the Avengers and finding Cap frozen in
ice, Earth-10170's 3-D Man noticed that the counterparts of Jimmy Woo,
Gorilla-Man and the Uranian were being possessed and he exclaimed his
discovery to the other Avengers.
(Atlas I#5) - Explaining to the other Avengers that
Jimmy, Uranian and Gorilla-Man were being possessed by beings that
resembled a younger Jimmy, an alien and one identical to the
Gorilla-Man, Earth-10170's 3-D Man's story was confirmed by that
reality's Doctor Strange and Jimmy tried to explain how they were
native to a different reality, asking the Earth-10170 Avengers to allow
the Uranian to explain telepathically. Strange magically prevented any
mind control before allowing the Uranian-616 to explain recent events
involving Jimmy, Gorilla-Man and himself on Earth-616 to the
Earth-10170 Avengers. After the Uranian informed the Avengers about the
Echo Worlders, the Avengers revealed how Echo Worlders had caused a
civil war among their superhumans and Jimmy remarked on how Earth-616
had a similar superhero civil war not long ago. Upon hearing that
Earth-10170's Doctor Strange had worked with 3-D Man to close off their
world from the Echo Worlders, Gorilla-Man and Jimmy suggested doing the
same on Earth-616 but the Uranian revealed how Earth-10170's closing
off their reality from the Echo Worlders was what had granted the Echo
Worlders access to Earth-616 in the first place and that closing off
Earth-616 would only lead to the Echo Worlders invading Earth-10170
anew. Moments after this revelation was revealed, Jimmy, Gorilla-Man
and the Uranian left the bodies of their Earth-10170 counterparts.
Feeling as if his consciousness was floating in limbo as if he were dead, Jimmy Woo thought about the Uranian and was able to telepathically ask him what had happened. The Uranian confirmed that they had departed Earth-10170 and he presumed it was due to Dr. Zu restoring their connection to Earth-616's 3-D Man. Gorilla-Man's consciousness soon joined them and they all asked the Uranian what they should do next, to which the Uranian answered by suggesting against their original recon mission to Echo World due to the risks involving with projecting their consciousnesses. Jimmy then contemplated on what he had experienced on Earth-10170 before 3-D Man was able to fully reestablish his connection to the trio. When 3-D Man asked what their next action should be, Jimmy suggested they continue with their recon mission despite the risks in an effort to understand the Echo Worlders' actions. The other three agreed with Jimmy and they continued onward towards Echo World.
(Atlas I#5 / 2) - As Jimmy, Gorilla-Man, the Uranian and 3-D Man continued their journey towards Echo World, they were joined by Venus and Namora, who were linked into the projection by Dr. Zu. During their psychic projection through dimensions, they all ventured through the memories of one another on the astral plane until they came upon the entrance to the Echo World dimension.
(Atlas I#5 / 3) - Upon emerging in the Echo World
dimension, Jimmy and the other Agents of Atlas found themselves much
more powerful than they were on Earth-616, with Jimmy even surviving
being shot with no harm whatsoever. Eventually, the Human Robot also
joined Jimmy and the others, using its mechanical consciousness to
fashion for itself a giant robotic body composed of the pieces of the
Echo Worlders attack ships. His powers increased worldwide, the
telepathic Uranian soon learned and communicated with Jimmy and the
others how Echo World existed alongside mental reflections of humanity
on Earth-616 and how this existence had driven the Echo Worlders to
hate humanity. He also learned that their powers were increased due to
the potency of their minds and that the Echo Worlders feared Jimmy and
the Agents' presence there spelled armageddon for their world. When an
elderly Echo Worlder confronted the Agents, Jimmy assured him that they
had no intention of destroying their world and that he just wanted to
break the cycle of violence in the dimensional conflicts between
Earth-616, Earth-10170 and Echo World by ceasing hostilities. The
Uranian mentioned that they may be able to stop the Earthly reflections
by coating the crystals in the area and when one of the Echo Worlders
announced that they had tried and failed to cover enough of their
planet, the Uranian proposed allow the powerful Agents of Atlas handle
the coating due to their increased power.
Jimmy Woo agreed with the
Uranian's proposal and he ordered the Human Robot to scan Echo World's
computers to determine how much of Echo World's planetary crystals
would need coating. Fearing that Atlas' interference was signs of their
own doomsday, the Echo Worlders mounted several attacks as the Human
Robot began his broadcast to create defects in the crystals that would
lessen the reflections of Earth-616 but each attack was fended off by
Jimmy, Gorilla-Man, Namora, Venus and 3-D Man. Jimmy and the others
then combined their power atop the giant Human Robot to broadcast a
frequency that created minor defects in Echo World's crystals that
successfully ended Echo World's reflections of Earth-616 and the
conflict and hatred those reflections caused. On the return trip to
Earth-616, Jimmy Woo stepped out ahead of 3-D Man on the astral plane
to experience something in his own memories, in this case a meeting
with the spirit of the Golden Claw, who was riding alongside Genghis
and Kublai
Khan. Jimmy thanked the Claw for arranging events to create
the original 3-D Man and explained how Atlas had used the modern 3-D
Man to end an eternal war. The Claw grumbled that he had left strict
instructions with Mr. Lao to ensure Jimmy conquered worlds rather than
using Atlas' power for good but nonetheless told Jimmy that he would
tell the past Khans of his insolent successor that fixed problems no
one else could solve. The Claw then wished Jimmy many more victories
before the time came for Jimmy to ride alongside them and Jimmy
returned to his teammates, where 3-D Man expressed his honor in working
with Atlas. When Jimmy asked if 3-D Man was leaving, a humble 3-D Man
asked to join the Atlas Foundation and Jimmy left 3-D Man's approval to
Gorilla-Man, who gave a silent thumbs up.
Upon their return to Earth-616,
Jimmy Woo and the Agents of Atlas utilized 3-D Man's now-increased
powers of perception to continue their battle to end the Atlas
Foundation's criminal fronts to rebuild the Foundation better than
before.
(Heroic Age: Heroes#1 - BTS) - After becoming the
head of America's superheroic forces, Steve Rogers drafted up a
document in which he analyzed various heroes, including many of the
Agents of Atlas. In his analysis of the Human Robot, Rogers noted that
perhaps he needed to sit down with Jimmy Woo to discuss Woo's
intentions with the Atlas Foundation and in his analysis of Woo
himself, Rogers noted Woo's status as being a free agent wanted for
questioning. Reviewing Woo's honorable service with S.H.I.E.L.D. and
his subsequent rejuvenation and leadership of the Atlas Foundation,
Rogers questioned Woo's association with Norman Osborn and tense
encounters with the Avengers and whether Jimmy had made some sort of
Faustian deal with the former Yellow Claw to assume leadership of
Atlas. Rogers recalled working with the older Woo against the Yellow
Claw (actually a robot at the time) and hoped his suspicions that Woo
was using Atlas for the cause of justice was correct.
(Hulk II#25 (fb) - BTS) - When the subversive
criminal Intelligencia unleashed all of their plans at once, Jimmy Woo
led the Agents of Atlas in battling some sort of tentacled beast and
their battle was shown on a screen as Steve Rogers recruited the Red
Hulk to aid against the Intelligencia's schemes.
(Gorilla-Man I#1) - Jimmy Woo reached out to the Gorilla-Man in Rome to check his progress on a mission against the robotic Borgia Omega, as Gorilla-Man was needed back at the Hidden City. When his visual was that of the Gorilla-Man with a woman's behind in his face, Jimmy asked what exactly was going on in Rome but Gorilla-Man exclaimed that he didn't have time to talk and that he would get back to Jimmy later. Following Borgia Omega's defeat and Gorilla-Man's recruitment of several of his agents into the Atlas Foundation, Jimmy met with Gorilla-Man and admitted that he wished he could've seen Gorilla-Man's defeat of Borgia Omega. Jimmy then commended Gorilla-Man on a job well done but questioned the need of new recruits, to which Gorilla-Man replied by insisting that Borgia Omega's female agents were good. Relenting, Jimmy Woo then showed Gorilla-Man footage of the other Agents of Atlas working hard to shut down the Atlas Foundation's criminal operations and explained how the team had been working overtime in an effort to convince the superheroes they had recently encountered that the Atlas Foundation was no longer a criminal organization. Gorilla-Man expressed a readiness to get back into the field so Jimmy gave Gorilla-Man his choice of what operation to tackle next. Gorilla-Man pointed out Mustafa Kazun as his next target on Jimmy's screen.
(Fear Itself: The Home Front#1 / 2 (fb) - BTS) -
Jimmy Woo and Namora began a secret romantic relationship with one
another under the guise of Jimmy spending time alone in his quarters
immersing himself in the ephemera of the 1950s.
(Fear Itself: The Home Front#1 / 2) - Jimmy Woo and
Namora met each other in Jimmy's quarters for a romantic night
together. As an episode of the I Dig
Daisy
television series played, Jimmy entered the room with a whiskey sour
and asked Namora if he could fix her a highball, prompting Namora to
remind him that they had reputations to think of. Jimmy agreed with her
but Namora then noted that she had been hoping Jimmy might ignore their
reputations and not care if their teammates discovered them. A
reluctant Jimmy replied that he would like that but admitted his
concern of what their teammates might think of him being romantic with
one of his own agents. Gorilla-Man soon interrupted the television
broadcast to request Jimmy's presence on deck and when he asked if
Jimmy had seen Namora, Jimmy feigned ignorance and claimed he had been
in his own world alone. As he turned off the television, Jimmy thought
how he'd been meaning to break up with Namora despite feeling like he
might be falling in love with her. When Jimmy subsequently arrived on
deck, he noticed the somewhat charged atmosphere and he became anxious
that his team had begun to suspect his relationship with Namora. Asking
Gorilla-Man what was up, Jimmy learned that a Neo-Nazi group had
firebombed churches and synagogues in the Miami and South Beach areas
of Florida. Jimmy immediately ordered all information on every
Neo-Nazi, Aryan or extreme supremacist group that had operated in
America within the last five years and when Gorilla-Man questioned
whether such a task was beneath the main Agents of Atlas, Jimmy claimed
that he couldn't trust anyone these days and that he needed to know and
do everything. Gorilla-Man tried to object but an angry Jimmy asked if
Gorilla-Man understood his task. When Jimmy added the task of also
getting him everything they had on Soviet cells currently operating,
the Uranian, concerned that Jimmy was living too much in the 1950s,
questioned Jimmy's usage of the term "Soviet" and Gorilla-Man told the
Uranian not to say a word.
For the following three days, Jimmy Woo and the Agents of Atlas hit every major Florida-based Neo-Nazi group, eventually confronting a rather nasty one in Tampa, where Jimmy warned Namora to stay behind the Human Robot. Ignoring Jimmy's order, Namora kicked one of the hate group members and when Jimmy reminded Namora of his orders, she reminded him that an Atlantean princess did not need protecting. A short time later, after one of the group members was captured, Jimmy angrily interrogated him for information on the group responsible for the recent firebombings but the man refused to give information to someone like Woo. Woo then turned the interrogation over to the Gorilla-Man, terrifying the man into giving up an address in Key West. As the Agents subsequently approached the home, Jimmy informed Venus that he did not want another firefight so Venus sang, subduing all of the home owner's guards to allow the Agents easy access. The home owner, Mr. Vorster, attempted to commit suicide rather than face justice but the Human Robot snatched Vorster up before he could pull the trigger and when Vorster slurred Jimmy's race during capture, Jimmy lost his temper and punched Vorster. Gorilla-Man then suggested he take over the interrogation instead and hours later, Jimmy and Gorilla-Man got Vorster to reveal his name and the name of his organization, the Hammer of Thule. Vorster revealed that his ancestors had summoned a monster for the Red Skull during World War II and Jimmy demanded Vorster take them to the Skull's old castle in Germany despite Gorilla-Man's suggestions that Vorster was lying. Vorster happily agreed to lead the Agents of Atlas to the castle, as he felt the Agents would die there and when he remarked on how the Atlas Foundation couldn't save them, Jimmy questioned what Vorster knew of Atlas. Vorster then revealed that his Thule ancestors had infiltrated many organizations after World War II including the Atlas Foundation, shocking Jimmy, who opted to return to his quarters. Namora accused Jimmy of retreating into the past rather than facing the present and Gorilla-Man solemnly agreed with Namora.
(Fear Itself: The Home Front#2 / 2) - Deciding to
face down his problems instead of retreating into his quarters, Jimmy
Woo walked through halls of the Uranian's saucer alongside Namora and
admitted he couldn't get the thought of Nazis infiltrating the Atlas
Foundation out of his mind. Namora tried to reassure Jimmy, noting that
Vorster was likely lying, but Jimmy's anxiety accentuated his fears
that Atlas' intelligence operations were infiltrated by Nazis. Namora
assured Jimmy that even if Vorster was correct, Jimmy would deal with
it like he dealt with everything and that she still loved him,
prompting thanks from Jimmy for remaining by his side. He then asked
Gorilla-Man to accompany him to another interrogation of Vorster,
noting that he wanted to know everything there was about the Red
Skull's former castle before they went inside. Jimmy soon demanded to
know what the World War II-era Thule Society had once summoned for the
Red Skull but when Vorster gloated that whatever it was, it meant the
death of Woo, an angry Woo backed away to let the Uranian take over the
interrogation. When the Uranian got telepathic glimpses of the Thule
Society and the Atlas Foundation, a paranoid Jimmy ordered the shut
down of Atlas operations and the disabling of their intelligence
networks. Gorilla-Man reminded Jimmy that Vorster could be simply
playing with them and when Jimmy remarked that he couldn't take that
chance, Gorilla-Man grabbed Jimmy's phone and remarked that he wasn't
prepared for Jimmy make a fool out of himself. Jimmy tried to order
Gorilla-Man to return his phone but Gorilla-Man reminded Jimmy that the
world needed the Atlas Foundation more than ever in such dangerous
times. Gorilla-Man then suggested they get on with their mission.
Moments after landing, Jimmy and the Agents of Atlas entered the Red Skull's old castle with Vorster leading them through. Shortly after Vorster became nervous and Gorilla-Man agreed something was off, Nazi robots emerged from the walls and Jimmy began firing on the robots. During the scuffle, Vorster was hit in the chest and Jimmy quickly noticed under the burned off skin a map of the castle tattooed on Vorster's chest. The Human Robot then scanned the tattoo and the Agents of Atlas split up to investigate different parts of the castle, with Jimmy teaming with the Human Robot. While Jimmy and the Robot investigated down one hallway, Namora, Gorilla-Man and the Uranian searched the rest of the castle and discussed Jimmy's recent anxieties. Jimmy soon used the map to find a walled up room and he had the Human Robot punch through the wall, finding a room covered in Atlantean skeletons. Remarking on how he had heard of the Thule Society's spellbook commissioned by the Red Skull and bound in Atlantean flesh, Jimmy Woo deduced that the room they had discovered was the Society's tanner and he suggested they burn the room entirely to prevent Namora from discovering the room's horrors. When the Human Robot discovered leftover Atlantean flesh with words inscribed on it, Jimmy ordered the Robot to scan the words from the discarded flesh. Having heard the noise of the Human Robot smashing through the wall to the hidden room, Namora and the rest of the Agents of Atlas soon caught up to Jimmy.
(Fear Itself: The Home Front#3 / 2) - Attempting to
keep Namora from seeing the Atlantean flesh and bones, Jimmy asked what
she was doing there and ordered everyone back to their positions around
the castle. Namora and Gorilla-Man both expressed concern that Jimmy
was acting erratically and an angry Jimmy exclaimed that he had had it
with their insubordination. Asking Jimmy if they were suddenly in the
Marines, Gorilla-Man reluctantly left Jimmy alone and accompanied Namora
back to their posts, at which point Jimmy resumed having the Human
Robot scan the discarded Atlantean flesh. Namora and Gorilla-Man
regrouped with Venus and the Uranian to discuss Jimmy's recent negative
behavior as Jimmy continued with the scanning and investigation of the
hidden room. He soon came across a moving wall and another Nazi robot
emerged to attack. Curious as to why the Thule Society did not burn the
discard Atlantean flesh if the writings on them were so important,
Jimmy dodged the robot to gather up what flesh he could but he was soon
hit and the robot began burning the room. Jimmy attempted to fight the
robot but the commotion drew the attention of the other Agents of Atlas
and they rushed back to the hidden room to save Jimmy. Despite being
rescued, Jimmy again angrily berated his teammates for disobeying his
orders to stand guard around the castle and when Namora expressed
concern for him, Jimmy claimed he didn't care what had happened between
them before ordering her to get out of his sight. Ignoring Woo, Namora
quickly noticed the discarded Atlantean flesh and Jimmy apologized for
her having to see it, explaining how the Thule Society had tortured and
flayed the Atlanteans there decades earlier.
Namora then accused Jimmy of wanting her to go away so he could study the Atlantean corpses but Jimmy relented, trying to explain that he was simply trying to protect for seeing such horrors. Namora accused Jimmy of being patronizing and he claimed he was just old fashioned but Namora then suggested Jimmy had developed an obsessive need to know everything piece of information possible. She then again accused Jimmy of trying to study the corpses and giving the deceased Atlanteans a proper funeral. Jimmy tried to argue back but Namora instead ordered him out of her sight and when he saw the looks from his other teammates, Jimmy tried to express his love for Namora but ultimately left the room with the Human Robot. As the Agents of Atlas argued over the treatment of Jimmy and whether he was truly obsessed with information, Jimmy and the Human Robot walked through the castle halls, with Jimmy questioning whether he had become a monster. When he suggested retreating to his quarters in the Uranian's saucer to dive back into his 1950s lore, he felt as if the Human Robot disapproved of the idea and the Robot mentioned that retreating increased the chances of Jimmy suffering a mental breakdown. He ultimately decided against retreating to his quarters and Namora eventually gathered the flesh together for a funeral pyre. Jimmy remarked to the Human Robot that he couldn't help wondering what information they would have gained if they had more time with the flesh, at which point the Human Robot mentioned that it had scanned enough of the flesh to determine its nature. The Human Robot then asked Jimmy if it should begin the translation of the words written on the flesh.
(Fear Itself: The Home Front#4 / 2 (fb)) - Surprised
that the Human Robot might hold the key to what sort of monster had
been summoned to the castle by the Thule Society decades earlier, Jimmy
halted the Human Robot from playing back the translation, concerned
about whether such knowledge was too important for one man to possess
and whether or not he could be entirely trusted to keep such
information secure. He then ordered the Human Robot to erase his files
on the Atlantean flesh, proclaiming that whatever the Thule Society had
written on the flesh would go no further.
(Fear Itself: The Home Front#4 / 2) - Despite his misgivings, Jimmy Woo interrupted the Atlantean funeral to apologize for the torture her Atlantean ancestors had endured and when he asked that Namora not hate him, Namora assured Jimmy that, while she did not hate him, their fling had to end sooner or later, as it wasn't any more real than the 1950s television shows Jimmy loved to watch. He then revealed that the Human Robot had informed him that the entire castle was rigged to explode within minutes and as he led his teammates out of the castle, Jimmy admitted he had waited twenty minutes to tell them because he was waiting for the right moment to interrupt Namora's funeral for her ancestors. An annoyed Namora reminded Jimmy that the right moment should have been immediately but Jimmy admitted he had delayed telling them because Namora had already been mad at him. Jimmy and his teammates then rushed their way out of the castle, battling more Nazi robots during the escape. As Jimmy dodged booby-traps, Namora noticed that Jimmy seemed different and when they returned to the Uranian's saucer, they viewed footage of worldwide events involving the Asgardian Serpent and his Worthy. Tired of seeing such devastation, Jimmy Woo told his teammates that he would be immersing himself in 1958, leaving them to continue worrying about how much he seemed to be living in the past. Gorilla-Man and Namora soon convinced the Human Robot to reveal what had happened to Jimmy during the Atlantean funeral and what sort of knowledge he had learned from the Atlantean flesh. After learning that Jimmy had ordered the Robot to erase the files rather than make himself the only person with such knowledge, a surprised Namora remarked that she wasn't sure she had ever learned of anything so heroic as Jimmy turning down the potential knowledge. Jimmy himself immersed himself in an episode of I Dig Daisy and a whiskey sour.
(Infinity: The Hunt#1 (fb) - BTS) - Jimmy Woo became
the head of the Pan-Asian School for the Unusually Gifted in Mumbai,
India alongside mutant Sanjar Javeed. Together, Woo and Javeed
recruited the best and brightest students from all across the Asian
continent but rumors soon began to fly that the school was funded by
cursed treasure.
(Infinity: The Hunt#1) - When several different schools for young superhumans opted to build communication and teamwork between themselves by competing against one another in a Contest of Champions event, Avengers Academy's Hank Pym welcomed Jimmy Woo and Sanjar Javeed to speak about their school to students from the other schools via satellite feed. After Pym introduced the Pan-Asian School to the listening students, he turned the speech over to Jimmy Woo himself, who thanked Pym and announced what a pleasure it was for the Pan-Asian School to be participating in the first-ever Contest of Champions between schools. Woo then introduced three of his school's students, Gang, Pom Pom and Shri, before expressing excitement at the prospect of fielding the finest students of Asia for the contest and turning the floor over to Wolverine of the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning. Wolverine thanked Jimmy for the floor and jokingly asked if Jimmy was recruiting future secret agents at his school, prompting a nervous Jimmy to stammer before Wolverine continued. The introductions were eventually interrupted when video footage from the University of Atlantis displayed an attack on Atlantis.
(Infinity: The Hunt#2 (fb) - BTS) - Per school
protocols, Jimmy Woo and Sanjar Javeed returned to their Pan-Asian
School duties to protect the students there from any potential attacks.
(Infinity: The Hunt#2) - After the Avengers Academy was attacked by invaders from the Black Order, Woo and Javeed fought against the invaders while the students got to a panic room. Jimmy initiated the launch sequence of the panic room itself to get the students safely away from the battle before continuing to keep the invaders occupied. As the panic room launched into the air, Jimmy confirmed that the room (in shuttle form) would soon be in low orbit and its cloaking technology would kick in.
(Fantastic Four V#645) - Jimmy and the Agents of Atlas battled in Paris the forces of the Quiet Man, who was attempting to blackmail the Fantastic Four's Mister Fantastic for the attacks. They halted their fighting with a large explosion occurred in the sky that seemingly took out the Quiet Man's forces.
(Totally Awesome Hulk I#15) - Jimmy Woo was summoned
alongside several other superheroes of Asian heritage to Flushing,
Queens, New York by S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Jake Oh to participate in a bone
marrow donation drive for charity. Jimmy was waiting in a room fiddling
with a gun when the Hulk (Amadeus Cho) arrived and entered the room
with the other heroes. Jimmy noted that the Hulk was late but they all
quickly went out on stage to the applause of the crowd. During the
display of their abilities, Jimmy Woo sparred with Shang-Chi and
eventually, the Hulk lifted the entire stage off the ground while Ms.
Marvel lifted Jimmy, Shang-Chi and Silk up with her enlarged limbs.
Once the display was over, Jake Oh thanked all of the patrons attending
the drive and reminded them all about the bone marrow registry, noting
that there was huge need for donors of Asian descent. After the
display, Jake Oh jokingly asked if anyone ever dressed like Jimmy Woo
and Jimmy replied that about a third of Asian dads dressed like him
unintentionally. That evening, Jimmy accompanied the other heroes to
Manhattan's Koreatown for some kalbi and while at dinner, Ms. Marvel
asked the other heroes if their parents supported their heroic careers,
to which Jimmy answered that his parents hated him going into espionage
and had suggested he instead become a doctor. Jimmy then assured all of
the younger heroes present that their fathers wanted them to be safe
like all fathers want for their families. Amadeus Cho interrupted to
remind Jimmy not to ruin the vibe they had going but Jimmy interjected
to commend them all on using their powers to stick up for everyone.
When the check came, Jimmy Woo and Shang-Chi both rushed to pay the
check and fought each other over who would get the pay for the younger
heroes they were so proud of but Amadeus Cho beat them to the punch,
paying for the dinner with his card while Jimmy and Shang-Chi were
fighting. Shang-Chi relented and instead suggested he pay for a night
of karaoke and Jimmy soon accompanied them all to the karaoke area.
Following the karaoke, Jimmy joined the others in walking through the
neighborhood as Jake Oh suggested they all team up sometime. As if on
cue, all the heroes present soon heard a rumble and the Imperial Guard
of Seknarf Seven descended from the skies.
(Totally Awesome Hulk I#16) - The Seknarf Imperial
Guard immediately began attacking civilians with the intent on
devouring them and Jimmy and the other heroes present came to the
defense of the bystanders. During the ensuing battle, Jimmy Woo fired
on several of the Imperial Guard and when civilian account executive
Jeffrey Gunderson asked where the Avengers and who the assembled heroes
were, the still-fighting Jimmy revealed to Gunderson who Shang-Chi and
Jake Oh were before introducing himself as "the old man with the cool
sci-fi gun" who was saving Gunderson. When the Hulk began attacking the
Seknarf ship, threatening to crash it to the ground, Jimmy ordered the
Hulk to stop in an effort to prevent the deaths of thousands of
Manhattan civilians but the Hulk insisted the ship had to be stopped
and asked his allies to clear Herald Square of bystanders. A grumbling
Jimmy Woo then began trying to clear the area as the Hulk completely
downed the ship. After the Imperial Guard was defeated, the Hulk
bragged about well everyone had done in the fight but Jimmy still
grumbled. When the Hulk tried to remind them how well they had jumped
in to help everyone and Ms. Marvel replied how they had actually been
scrambling to cover for the Hulk's ill-advised decisions, the Hulk
asked Jimmy to call Alpha Flight to pick up the downed Imperial Guard.
Still frustrated at the Hulk, Jimmy instead told the Hulk to call Alpha
Flight while he secured the site and made sure the Imperial Guard's
weapons weren't still active.
As Jimmy went to inspect one of the Imperial Guards' energy-manipulating staffs, the Guard activated them, creating a teleportational circle that teleported Jimmy, the bystanders and even the landmass within the circle several million light years away to the Seknarf home world. Upon learning that the Seknarfs planned to eat them, some of the civilians panicked while a police officer among them assured them that Jimmy and the "Avengers" would ensure their safety. The Hulk quickly informed the officer that they were not the Avengers nor the Champions and when the officer asked who the heroes were, Jimmy Woo dubbed the assemblage of Asian heroes the Protectors and suggested they get to work. Jimmy then tasked the police officer with doing a head count of how many bystanders were present and which needed immediate medical attention as the Hulk worked to figure out the staffs that had brought them there so he could learn to use them for their own purposes. The Hulk soon spotted another colony of kidnapped extraterrestrials and despite Jimmy's attempts to keep the Hulk from immediately jumping into action to save the aliens, the Hulk leaped at the other colony, only to hit a force field and transform back into his normal human form. Jake Oh then tried to fire on the departing Seknarf ship but found that both his and Jimmy Woo's guns were disabled. Shang-Chi then suggested they ready themselves to battle the Seknarfs hand-to-hand for they returned to eat some of the captives and since Jimmy's gun was disabled, Shang-Chi also suggested that Jimmy and Jake Oh find some blunt objects to use as weapons against the Seknarfs. Grabbing a disabled staff, Jimmy replied "no problem" and the captive bystanders also grabbed objects to use as weapons to help the Protectors.
(Totally Awesome Hulk I#17) - As the Protectors
worked to rally the trapped bystanders, Jimmy Woo reiterated the
situation they were in and reminded the bystanders that, while he did
get a S.O.S. to Alpha Flight before they were transported away, the
Seknarfs would return for three bystanders before Alpha Flight could
rescue them. Amadeus Cho then mentioned that they could fight rather
than turn over three people, Jimmy interjected to remind Cho that the
force field dome had disabled his Hulk powers but Cho replied by
assuring the bystanders that Ms. Marvel, Shang-Chi and Silk all
retained their powers and would continue to protect those present. When
the also-captive Jeffrey Gunderson reiterated the Seknarfs threat to
cut off their oxygen if they fought back, Jimmy confirmed that threat
that had been made. Cho then angrily asked if anyone wanted to sit out
the fight for their lives but Jimmy, ever the calculated planner, noted
that Cho's anger had made some of the bystanders fearful of speaking
out against Cho's plan of attack and calmly suggested they review all
of the facts before jumping into action. Jimmy then clearly explained
to everyone present that some, possibly all, might die trying to fight
against the Seknarfs and that once they started fighting, there would
be turning back. The police officer noted that their fight would not be
senseless when the Seknarfs were demanding human sacrifices and Jimmy
agreed that it was a fair point, further commenting that he just wanted
everyone present to know the risks before agreeing to fight.
All of the bystanders worked together on their plan to fight back and Jimmy acknowledged Cho, noting that things were looking good, until the Seknarfs returned earlier than scheduled. Everyone began to fight back but when Seknarf Prince Regent Phalkan removed the gravity from their colony and warned that the oxygen would blow out within five minutes, Jimmy Woo, acting on part of their secret plan, publicly relented and volunteered himself as one of the three sacrifices, followed by Jake Oh, much to the feigned surprise of Silk and the other Protectors. Jimmy announced that he was expendable and asked Shang-Chi and the other heroes to protect the civilians as long as possible before Amadeus Cho volunteered himself as the third sacrifice. While Woo, Oh and Cho distracted Phalkan, one of the bystanders, Zaid "Zee Zee" Ahmed secretly messed with a control deck that he used to ultimately disable the force field, restoring Cho's Hulk powers. Cho then punched Phalkan, rescued Jimmy Woo and Jake Oh, and restored the oxygen to the colony, giving the Protectors a fair fight against the Seknarfs. The heroes started fighting and when Jeffrey Gunderson was killed by a Seknarf blast, Jimmy declared war on the Seknarfs and the heroes rushed into battle with renewed vigor.
(Totally Awesome Hulk I#18) - During the battle, Alpha Flight responded to Jimmy Woo's S.O.S. call and he informed them of his status fighting a war against the Seknarfs following the death of Jeffrey Gunderson. When the Hulk exhausted all of his power fighting against all of Phalkan's forces at once, Phalkan began gloating about eating the Hulk and feeding his waste to the civilians, prompting Jimmy Woo to sneak up behind Phalkan and hit him in the back of the head with a sledgehammer. Phalkan quickly began to recover but Jimmy announced to everyone that it was a situation of kill or be killed and when he savagely attacked Phalkan, nearly cutting his throat with a broken staff, the recovering Hulk stopped Jimmy. He then knocked out Phalkan and reminded everyone that they were protectors not killers. Everyone stopped fighting and Jimmy looked at the Hulk in silence as Alpha Flight arrived on the scene to rescue them. During the rescue, Alpha Flight's Sasquatch informed Jimmy that they had spoken with Seknarfs' Congress and learned that Phalkan had been an outlaw traitor that the government of Seknarf had been trying to take down for years. Jimmy suggested Alpha Flight push for Phalkan's imprisonment in the Negative Zone prison, to which Sasquatch agreed. Jimmy then walked over to Amadeus Cho and remarked that, while he knew Cho was angry with him, he had warned that war would occur if they fought back. When Cho remained silent, Jimmy asked if Cho was going to say anything, at which point Cho reiterated Jimmy's earlier comments about how proud he was of the young Asian heroes and how they fought to protect everybody. Jimmy answered that he still believed all of those words but Cho suggested Jimmy had a funny definition of "everybody," to which Jimmy reminded Cho that Phalkan and his forces had been planning to kill and eat them all. Cho then angrily accused Jimmy of wanting to do the same to the Seknarfs as Phalkan had wanted to do to them, asking Jimmy to think about what they could do with their powers, how many people they could theoretically kill if they decided to do such a thing and what sort of world that would create. As an angry and vengeful Phalkan was taken into custody, Jimmy smirked and suggested Amadeus Cho take care before boarding the Alpha Flight ship. After the ship departed, Cho, Silk and Ms. Marvel discussed Jimmy's disappointing outlook and Ms. Marvel insisted they keep doing what they do for the kids. Once everyone had returned to Earth two days later, Ms. Marvel, Hulk and Silk visited the children in the Children's Hospital of Queens, unaware they were being secretly watched by Jimmy Woo from Agents of Atlas Secret Command Center 33B. Smiling, Jimmy only remarked to himself "Yeah...for the kids."
(Marvel Comics I#1000 / 4 (fb)) - No longer an
Avenger or an X-Man, the mutant Roberto Da Costa began to feel out of
the loop and questioned where he belonged, reaching out to Jimmy Woo
via video. Explaining his feelings and revealing certain
synchronicities involving the 1940s heroes the
Three Xs
and the Dark Avenger, Roberto wondered to Jimmy whether the connections
were truly just synchronicities or if there were true connections
between those heroes and modern day events. Raising a glass to Roberto,
Jimmy responded by expressing his interest in the connections Roberto
seemed to be making and he announced that Roberto could count him in on
any action Roberto took regarding the connections.
(Marvel Comics I#1000 / 9 (fb)) - Investigating the
Dark Avenger himself, Jimmy Woo met up with Namora a few weeks later to
question whether she knew anything about the Dark Avenger since she was
active during the 1940s. When Namora informed Jimmy that the Dark
Avenger was originally called the Thunderer, Jimmy expressed suspicions
that the Dark Avenger was the key to something big but Namora was busy
trying to keep Deviant Lemurians from invading Micronesia following the
recent destabilization of Atlantis. Interrupting the conversation, the
Uranian, whose mind was connected to the saucer craft Namora was using,
revealed to Jimmy Woo that he had met the Dark Avenger and that the key
Jimmy sought was not in the Dark Avenger himself but rather, the Dark
Avenger's mask.
(Marvel Comics I#1000 / 16 - BTS) - Weeks later,
after learning that his friend Gorilla-Man now lived in Avengers
Mountain, a former cosmic Celestial, Jimmy Woo reached out to
Gorilla-Man and asked him to search the dead Celestial's memories for
information about the Dark Avenger's mask. Skeptical, the Gorilla-Man
questioned why Jimmy wanted the Gorilla-Man to risk his life via
connection to a dead Celestial for something as seemingly insignificant
as a mask, to which Jimmy replied that it was one "hell of a mask."
Shrugging his concerns off, the Gorilla-Man remarked that at least
Jimmy had a reason for wanting to know more about the mask and
proceeded to connect his mind to the dead Celestial.
(Marvel Comics I#1000 / 18) - During a mission
against the terrorist Hydra organization several more weeks later,
Jimmy was contacted by Roberto Da Costa and Jimmy informed Roberto that
he would have to talk while working. Explaining to Roberto that the
Gorilla-Man had only been able to acquire a piece of information about
the Dark Avenger's mask, Jimmy Woo revealed to Roberto that the Uranian
had been right that the Dark Avenger's mask was the key to the
information they sought as he knocked a Hydra goon with the butt of his
gun. Jimmy also revealed that the mask was the key to every story since
the fall of Camelot, with sightings of the mask popping up during the
ancient peasants' revolt, the English civil war and the Mayflower
itself. Noting rumors that Ben Franklin had used the mask to help win
the American Revolution, Jimmy also noted the iconography of black
masks in American culture representing the lawless and Chinese culture
marking black masks as a sign of integrity such as the impartiality of
a judge. Suggesting to Roberto the possibility that the Dark Avenger's
black mask could represent a lawless hero being the judge of evil and
how the mask could have been the birth of the modern era superhero,
Jimmy Woo escaped the Hydra base into his flying car and questioned why
the mask wasn't actually the birth of the superhero.
(Spider-Man II#238 (fb) - BTS) - Despite being an ex-S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, Jimmy Woo took a daytime 12-hour shift performing recon duty on an area housing a Helicarrier, taking over the shift from the Red Hulk (see comments).
(Incredible Hulk VI#714) - Upon learning that Prince
Regent Phalkan had escaped imprisonment on Seknarf Seven, Jimmy Woo
reached out to the Hulk to inform him of the escape but the Hulk had
already learned of it. Jimmy then informed the Hulk that he planned to
assemble the Protectors since Phalkan would likely be coming after them
since they had been the team to defeat and imprison him. The Hulk
disagreed with Jimmy's suspicions, stating that Phalkan instead would
likely coming after the Hulk personally. Ms. Marvel then interrupted
the communication to assure the Hulk that he was not alone, as Jimmy
Woo had sent the Protectors coordinates to his mobile headquarters. The
conversation was interrupted when Phalkan suddenly appeared in the sky
and when a surprised Jimmy asked how Phalkan had been able to find the
Hulk so fast, the Hulk admitted he had given Phalkan his coordinates in
an effort to choose his own battlefield and avoid civilian casualties.
When the Hulk savagely beat Phalkan to a pulp in front of news cameras
and warned anyone that crossed him that they would get the same, a
shocked Jimmy Woo could only mutter Amadeus Cho's name in surprise as
Ms. Marvel noted that Cho must have no idea what he was doing.
(Incredible Hulk VI#715 - BTS) - Jimmy Woo
immediately reached out to Amadeus Cho's sister Maddy and suggested
that Amadeus had lost his mind. Feeling as if Jimmy had never fully
trusted Amadeus in the first place, Maddy refused to give Jimmy any
information on what was happening to the Hulk. Jimmy tried to talk
further but Maddy recognized that Jimmy was already trying to hack into
her computer systems and she suggested Jimmy have fun as long as he
stayed out of her way. She then noted that while Jimmy may not like
Amadeus Cho, he wouldn't like Maddy when she was angry either.
(Incredible Hulk VI#716) - Jimmy continued keeping an
eye on the increasingly out of control Hulk and when the Hulk attacked
Alpha Flight and several other heroes, he realized Jimmy was still
listening in on the situation and accused Jimmy of never trusting him.
Jimmy tried to explain to the Hulk that something was wrong with him
and that he needed to let them examine him but the Hulk considered the
suggestion proof of his point about Jimmy. When the Hulk fought and
nearly beat Thor, Jimmy initiated an attack from the saucer-like Atlas
ship in
conjunction with the Black Panther that hit the Hulk with
specially-designed missiles intended to break down the nanobots that
allowed the Hulk's form to retain gamma energy.
(Incredible Hulk VI#717) - Announcing a direct hit on
the Hulk, Jimmy Woo proclaimed that the Adamantium shells had breached
the Hulk's skin before turning the next round of attacks over to the
Black Panther. Jimmy then landed his ship next to Maddy Cho and when he
expressed horror at the fight between the nanobot-affected Hulk and his
fellow younger heroes, Maddy assured Jimmy that the nanobots were
working. Maddy then explained that nanobots were causing Amadeus to
look his Hulk powers, Jimmy replied that he appeared to be taking down
several heroes with him, expressing concern that they had only made
Hulk more dangerous. When the Hulk finally overcame of his dark persona
and integrated back into himself, regaining control of his body, Jimmy
Woo and the other assembled heroes approached the guilt-ridden Amadeus
Cho and Jimmy placed shackles on the Hulk, who willingly went into
their custody.
(Future Fight Firsts: White Fox#1) - Feeling as if he
needed to find new recruits to act as Agents of Atlas, Jimmy Woo looked
into South Korean heroine White Fox but Mr. Lao warned against White
Fox, whom he deemed "dangerous." Jimmy replied that her work with South
Korean national intelligence made her the ideal Atlas operative for
covert missions. Lao nonetheless warned Jimmy against White Fox's
nature as a monstrous kumiho and suggested Jimmy was wrong if he
thought he could tame a monster.
(Future Fight Firsts: Crescent & Io#1 (fb) - BTS)
- Taking notice of the 10-year old recent heroine Crescent and her
spirit bear Io, Jimmy Woo sent Mr. Lao a file on the 10-year-old
heroine Crescent but Mr. Lao neglected to read the file. Considering
Crescent as a new recruit into the Agents of Atlas, Jimmy researched
Crescent's origin story of finding a magical mask during the kidnapping
of her father. Finding Crescent difficult to track down, Jimmy opted to
lure Crescent towards the Atlas Foundation by purchasing on the black
market the White Snake artifact that Crescent's father's kidnappers
were seeking.
(Future Fight Firsts: Crescent & Io#1 (fb)) -
When Crescent tracked down the unidentified buyer of the White Snake,
Jimmy Woo made an explosive entrance alongside two other potential
Atlas recruits, White Fox and Luna Snow, and he introduced himself to
Crescent, explaining that he was the leader of the Agents of Atlas and
that he thought they could help her.
(War of the Realms: New Agents of Atlas#1 (fb) - BTS)
- In his capacity as the headmaster of the Pan-Asian School for the
Unusually Gifted, Jimmy Woo organized an event to educate his students
on teamwork by inviting his Protectors teammates Ms. Marvel, Shang-Chi
and Silk, as well as Brawn (Amadeus Cho, formerly the Hulk) to work
together in action during the event.
(War of the Realms: New Agents of Atlas#1) - After
the heroes completed their performance, Jimmy Woo commended them on
their teamwork and he later thanked them for coming. Silk thanked Jimmy
for the invitation and assured him they would be there whenever he
needed them. When Silk then reluctantly mentioned that perhaps they
weren't the best role models and motioned towards the arguing Brawn and
Ms. Marvel, Jimmy suggested they could discuss it over dinner at Lucky
Jimmy's Dim Sum Palace. During the dinner, Jimmy straightforwardly
asked what was going on between Brawn and Ms. Marvel and when they
claimed it was nothing, Jimmy remarked on how he led the Atlas
Foundation when he was not running the Pan-Asian School. He also
admitted he had been watching all of the assembled heroes for some
time, secretly hoping they might someday join the Atlas Foundation as
elite Agents of Atlas. As a test, Jimmy pulled out a pear and asked
them all what it was called. When Shang-Chi referred to it as a Chinese
pear, Brawn and Silk called it a Chinese pear and Ms. Marvel called it
a Japanese pear, Jimmy corrected them all and said it was just a pear
and there was no need to fight about it, just like there was no need to
fight about most things people fight about. He then spoke about how not
all conflict was bad but that, when he was leading an Atlas mission, he
liked to hear the best ideas from everyone on his team as contributions
rather than critiques. Ms. Marvel and Brawn again started bickering but
Jimmy and the others were soon interrupted by a communication from Jake
Oh regarding New York being under attack by the Dark Elf Malekith. The
heroes began to rush off to assist but Jimmy stopped them and pointed
out a pillar of energy on the screen, asking Brawn to determine what it
was. When Brawn deduced that it was some sort of interdimensional
breach, Jimmy asked him to extrapolate the energy signature and input
it into the Atlas Foundation server.
After Brawn successfully input the data, Jimmy traced it worldwide, finding traces ten miles from Seoul, South Korea. Announcing that he didn't have anyone on the ground there, Jimmy deputized the heroes as his new Agents of Atlas and proclaimed that they were going to Korea. Brawn questioned what to do about New York and Ms. Marvel opted to immediately leave the Agents of Atlas to aid New York while Brawn went with Jimmy Woo. Brawn argued and Jimmy reminded them that they had no time for arguing, ordering Brawn to come with him and reminding him that they all had to work together. As the new Agents of Atlas arrived on the scene in Seoul, they found Korean heroes Luna Snow, White Fox and Crescent already battling the forces of the Asgardian Muspelheim realm. Brawn opted to immediately rush to the heroes' aid but Jimmy ordered against, suggesting they instead perform some recon first. Brawn argued and their aircraft was soon hit with a fiery blast, downing it and knocking Jimmy unconscious, leaving Brawn in charge of the Agents. The unsure Brawn then emerged from the wrecked aircraft, only to be attacked by White Fox, who recalled hearing of his recent attack on New York, and Shang-Chi came to Brawn's aid while Silk got Jimmy Woo safely out of the crash. Brawn accidentally ended up freezing Luna Snow while trying to calm White Fox and a slowly recovering but still injured Jimmy reminded his Agents about working together. All present were then confronted by Queen Sindr, leader of the Fire Goblins of Muspelheim.
(War of the Realms: New Agents of Atlas#2) - Despite
his injuries, Jimmy Woo attempted to help his Agents as they struggled
to fight against Queen Sindr's forces but White Fox suggested he stop
as the new Agents of Atlas found themselves surrounded by Sindr's lava.
Before the lava could consume, Brawn used teleportation technology
stolen earlier from Bruce Banner to teleport Woo and his other
teammates (excepting the frozen Luna Snow) away from the scene, leaving
Sindr to continue her plan to summon forth a volcano. White Fox argued
against Brawn's decision to flee but Jimmy quickly reminded everyone
that nothing was under control and they would have no hope of defeating
a god if they didn't start working together. As Sindr took over South
Korea and Jimmy recovered from his injuries, the new Agents of Atlas
came up with a plan to infiltrate Sindr's new base of operations by
disguising Brawn as one of Sindr's fire goblins. After Brawn freed Luna
Snow, he teleported Asian heroes Sword Master, Wave, Aero and Pele to
the Agents' location in an effort to get their help in staging an
attack on Sindr from Siberia. When Sword Master, Wave and Aero refused
and demanded to be returned, Pele revealed Sindr's plan to melt the ice
caps and suggested the foursome work with the Agents of Atlas, a point
a smiling Jimmy Woo admitted he had been suggesting all along.
(War of the Realms: New Agents of Atlas#3) - Once the
four heroes had agreed to work with the Agents of Atlas, Jimmy
accompanied them into a bunker to plan their counteroffensive against
Queen Sindr and was present when Brawn reached to the heroes Codec,
Monkey King and Red Feather for a status update of Sindr's progression
into Tokyo, Beijing and Manila. Following the discussion with Monkey
King, Codec and Red Feather, Jimmy, Brawn and White Fox left the room
to find the rest of their team eating and Jimmy chuckled when Brawn
noted that at least they could all agree on food. Once they had all
eaten, the Agents of Atlas and their allies began their assault on
Sindr's forces and Jimmy, Sword Master, Shang-Chi, White Fox, Crescent
and Pele waited for a sign that the assault was getting near its end
before doing their part of Brawn's plan. When Sword Master griped that
they should be helping Brawn, Jimmy reminded him that they needed to
save their mystical powers for the end of the attack. After taking a
beating, Brawn signaled to Jimmy that Sindr's forces were moving north
and Jimmy used Brawn's teleportation tech to teleport his allies to
northern China, where they met with the Monkey King. Impressed by the
superhumans in his midst, the Monkey King asked what sort of gods Jimmy
Woo and Shang-Chi were and Woo answered by admitting that, while he was
no god, all of the assembled magic there would mean nothing without
training and he gave Shang-Chi until dawn to whip all of the heroes
into shape. Jimmy then supervised the training until they were ready,
at which point he communicated with Brawn to assure him they were ready
for their part of the plan.
(War of the Realms: New Agents of Atlas#4) - Jimmy Woo spotted the captured Brawn being carried by Sindr and Silk followed behind them and when he informed Silk that he could see them, Silk signaled Brawn, who downed Sindr. Pele then confronted Sindr, revealing her status as a synthezoid created by the Atlas Foundation as Sindr spent much of her power thinking she was battling a goddess. When Pele also revealed a capsule capable of containing mystic energy and a smiling told Sindr goodbye as the capsule exploded. In the distraction, Brawn questioned why Jimmy Woo had kept Pele's status as an Atlas-created synthezoid a secret but Jimmy answered only by reminding Brawn that he was a secret agent whose business was secrets. Jimmy then reminded Brawn to focus on the weakened Sindr as the rest of the Agents of Atlas and their allies swarmed Sindr. Sindr ultimately retreated via a black Bifrost and Jimmy revealed that, thanks to the Pele synthezoid, they could track Sindr. Teleporting forty-six miles north of Beijing, Jimmy Woo, his new Agents of Atlas and their allies arrived to find Sindr battling Captain Marvel and they immediately jumped in to aid against Sindr's fire goblins. Following the defeat of Sindr and the fall of her master Malekith's forces, Brawn again questioned why Jimmy Woo had kept Pele's status a secret and Jimmy admitted that he had to make sure Sindr remained unaware of Pele's true nature and Pele's false status as a goddess helped keep the then-unknowing new Agents of Atlas together, as they would follow a goddess if Brawn lost his confidence as a field leader. Brawn accused Jimmy Woo's actions of being wrong, as impersonating a deity rarely ended well and his lying to the Agents of Atlas prevented them from fully trusting Woo. Jimmy remarked that the Agents of Atlas nonetheless trusted each other, prompting Brawn to stare silently and suspiciously at Woo for a few seconds before walking away. As Brawn checked on his teammates before going to aid civilians, Jimmy watched and commented to himself "Carry on, then...Agents of Atlas."
(Aero I#1 / 2 - BTS) - After Wave informed Aero that she had been kicked out of her Triumph Division team for abandoning her post while aiding the Agents of Atlas against Sindr, Aero suggested they inform Jimmy Woo so that he could do something but Wave opted not to, feeling as if she didn't fit in with the Triumph Division in the first place.
(Marvel Comics I#1000 / 52 (fb)) - While driving his
flying car, Jimmy Woo was communicating with the vigilante Night
Thrasher regarding the Dark Avenger's mask, now dubbed the Eternity
Mask. Investigating the death of the vigilante Blind
Justice,
who had been revealed as Three Xs member Dr. Jerome Hamilton, Night
Thrasher questioned Woo about other superbeings who wore a black mask
and whether someone could have worn the Eternity Mask under another
mask. Jimmy jokingly asked if Night Thrasher was wearing the Eternity
Mask and Night Thrasher assured Woo that he clearly had no use for the
mask before asking if he could Dr. Adam Brashear in on the
investigation of the Eternity Mask, as he specialized in strange cases.
(Marvel Comics I#1000 / 71 (fb)) - Days later, Jimmy
Woo and Night Thrasher met with Dr. Adam Brashear, the Blue Marvel, to
discuss their findings regarding the Eternity Mask. After recounting
the history of the Eternity Mask, the Blue Marvel was informed by Jimmy
that, while they knew where the Eternity Mask had been, they did know
where it or the scientific Enclave organization, which had evolved from
the scientific guild that had been the Three Xs, was. Questioning
whether the Enclave scientists were even still alive or if perhaps a
new Enclave had formed, Jimmy admitted that, despite all three present
being very busy, they needed to keep tabs on the Mask. As he was
talking, Jimmy Woo realized that there were three of them present and,
chuckling to himself, he admitted he missed Roberto Da Costa,
suggesting that Roberto would love the situation they were in. A
smiling Jimmy Woo then questioned whether he, Night Thrasher and the
Blue Marvel had just become the new Three Xs, a suggestion that
intrigued the Blue Marvel.
(Agents of Atlas III#1 / 2 (fb) - BTS) - Thai
superhuman Cressida heard about the Pan-Asian School for the Unusually
Gifted and attempted to contact Jimmy Woo, only to be attacked by the
Cult of General Lek Nurong. Receiving Cressida's message, Jimmy Woo
sent his original Agents of Atlas to the Yai River in Thailand to
rescue Cressida.
(Future Fight Firsts: Crescent & Io#1) - Jimmy Woo and Mr. Lao observed a training session between Crescent and Shang-Chi with the Atlas Foundation's San Francisco headquarters. During the sparring match, Mr. Lao admitted that Crescent was younger that he had expected and Jimmy responded by reminding Mr. Lao that if he had read the file on Crescent that Woo had sent over, Mr. Lao would be aware of Crescent's age and status as the Agents of Atlas' youngest recruit. Lao responded by reminding Jimmy that Atlas handled global covert operations and that it was not a daycare. When Crescent flipped Shang-Chi, Jimmy joked to Lao that they didn't need to worry about Atlas becoming a daycare. As the training session wrapped, Jimmy expressed gladness that Crescent was getting along well with her teammates, explaining to Lao that Crescent had been living alone when Atlas discovered her. Lao replied that living alone appeared to be common situation among the Agents of Atlas and when he questioned whether they were going to discuss Crescent's spirit bear Io, Jimmy tried to deflect the questions. Lao continued, warning Jimmy that Crescent's spirit bear was strong, dangerous magic bound to Crescent's mask. Relating to Mr. Lao how he had tracked Crescent down and how talented the young girl was, Jimmy suggested to Mr. Lao that it was part of their job to nurture that talent as an Agent of Atlas. Lao accused Jimmy of "taking in strays" and Jimmy admitted that a lot of the Agents of Atlas had lost family members like everyone else had but that, if he had learned anything in the field, the group was about being there for one another. The two then entered a room housing the new Agents of Atlas as Jimmy expressed to Lao that perhaps the Agents of Atlas had helped each other find a new family. Lao replied that time would tell on such an idea but suggested Jimmy might be correct.
(Agents of Atlas III#1) - Following the new Agents of
Atlas meeting and teaming up with the young hero Protector
against the last remaining Muspelheim fire dragon, Brawn returned to
Atlas Secret Bunker 394B to search the Atlas databases for traces of
the Protector and while he griped about the rest of the Agents opting
to do their own thing rather than help, Jimmy Woo appeared before Brawn
in hologram form to remind Brawn that leadership was a lonely job.
Brawn admitted his assumptions that the new Agents of Atlas were only
supposed to be a temporary grouping against Sindr and when he asked
Jimmy where he was, Jimmy explained how the Atlas Foundation was a very
large organization and that he couldn't be in the physical presence of
the Agents of Atlas at all times. Jimmy then suggested Brawn stop
trying to make sure everyone liked him and as Brawn began to argue
back, a bright flash in the sky interrupted their conversation.
Recognizing the energy signature as the same teleportation signature
that the Protector seemed to use, Brawn rushed off to help civilians
despite Jimmy's warnings that Brawn didn't need to get teleported
himself. The Agents soon learned that CEO Mike Nguyen had used
teleportational technology to temporarily merge several large cities
into a single metropolis in an attempt to sell special permanent passes
to his technology and when several wyverns appeared in the merged
metropolis, Jimmy communicated with Brawn, joking that Brawn need not
feel alone anymore. Mr. Lao agreed, noting to Jimmy that they would
also no longer be alone.
(Agents of Atlas III#1 / 2 - BTS) - After the
original Agents of Atlas had rescued Cressida, they returned to the
Uranian's saucer, where they reported back to Jimmy Woo. Jimmy appeared
in hologram form and expressed relief that Cressida had been rescued
safely, further assuring Cressida that if she still wanted to join the
Pan-Asian School, he would have the Uranian drop her off to meet the
other students. Venus then informed Jimmy that they had encountered
another ancient dragon, Mr. Thong, who suggested that dragons were
manipulating worldwide events of power in their favor. Jimmy admitted
that he had long suspected Atlas' own Mr. Lao of seeing things that
same way. He then informed his allies that, while he always thought his
ideas were his own, it was difficult not to listen to a being with
thousands of years of experience. When Namora questioned whether
Thong's remarks might be true and how many more dragons there might be
in the world, Jimmy commented that it was long past time they knew and
he ordered the original Agents of Atlas to find out everything they
could about the other dragons and who they worked with. Jimmy then
noted that an ancient conflict seemed to be coming to a head and
expressed concern that he may have set it off himself.
(Agents of Atlas III#2 - BTS) - When the Agents of
Atlas drove off the wyverns, the Protector introduced to his boss, Mike
Nguyen, who offered the Agents pay to act as independent contractors
defending his merged metropolis, dubbed Pan. Brawn refused but some of
the other Agents mentioned having use of Nguyen's money, prompting
Brawn to suggest they could speak with Jimmy Woo if they were having
money situations. The Agents then regrouped at the Pan-Asian School for
the Unusually Gifted within the Mumbai sector of Pan and while the rest
of the Agents mingled, Brawn attempted to contact Jimmy Woo multiple
times to no avail.
(Incoming! I#1)
- When Captain Marvel visited the underwater Kadesh Base of the Blue
Marvel to get insight on a recent murder mystery, the Blue Marvel led
her into another room, where Jimmy Woo and Night Thrasher were working
on the same mystery. Introducing Captain Marvel to the all-new Three Xs
group, the Blue Marvel was asked to join everyone in the holodeck for a
digital recreation of the crime scene. Once inside, Jimmy Woo informed
Captain Marvel that they had formed the Three Xs to investigate the
semi-mythical Masked Raider, the very person that had originally tipped
off the vigilante Daredevil to the murder. Captain Marvel asked what
the Three Xs had been able to uncover and Jimmy admitted that their
best clue was one found by private investigator Jessica Jones: a coded
message with a Kree Hala star design. Deducing that the message was not
a word but a number written in machine code, the Three Xs opted to
reach out to their connections for more input. Jimmy Woo subsequently
projected a hologram of himself in the Atlas Secret Bunker 394B in
hopes of reaching Brawn but he found it mostly empty. Silk soon spotted
the Jimmy hologram and when Jimmy mentioned needing to find Brawn, Silk
exclaimed that Brawn had been trying to reach Jimmy. Silk then began
berating Jimmy Woo for leaving Brawn in charge of the Agents of Atlas
and seemingly deserting them. Jimmy couldn't get a word in edge-wise as
Silk revealed the issues the Agents had been dealing with such as
dragons and international crises. Silk then accused Jimmy Woo of hiding
something and a taken-aback Jimmy tried to insist that he was actually
trying to find out something hidden.
He then asked Silk to have Brawn reach out to him as soon as he could
before dissipating the hologram and projecting it into Madripoor's
Lowtown area. Finding Shang-Chi and Sword Master eating with the
Olympian god Ares, Jimmy asked if they had seen Brawn and when they
mentioned they had not, Shang-Chi suggested Jimmy run his puzzle by
Sword Master. Jimmy projected the hexadecimal coded message and neither
Sword Master nor Ares knew what hexadecimal code even was. When Jimmy
noticed that Shang-Chi and Sword Master appeared to be in the middle of
something, Shang-Chi revealed that they were investigating Atlantis.
Jimmy questioned whether Shang-Chi knew what he was doing by
investigating Atlantis since he had friends there but when Shang-Chi
suggested Jimmy rejoin the Agents of Atlas if he thought he could do
better, Jimmy admitted that he could not at the moment and had to find
Brawn. Shang-Chi responded by questioning why Jimmy had left Brawn in
charge of the Agents of Atlas just as the world seemed to be falling
apart and Jimmy could only answer by claiming that every teacher worked
a little differently. As Jimmy's hologram dissipated, Sword Master
asked Shang-Chi if Jimmy was keeping secrets, to which Shang-Chi
replied that Jimmy's secrets had always helped the team in the past.
Jimmy Woo next projected his hologram to the merged city of Pan, where
he asked Aero and Wave for help. Aero and Wave were reluctant to help,
given Jimmy's recent absence from the Agents of Atlas, but when Jimmy
assured them of his confidence in the team he helped bring together,
Aero agreed to use her wind powers to seek out Brawn for Jimmy.
(Agents of Atlas III#3) - Still unable to reach Jimmy
Woo, Brawn summoned all of the new Agents of Atlas to vote on some team
decisions but was annoyed when Giant-Man invited the Protector into
their secret Atlas base. When the Protector attempted to recruit the
Agents to work for Mike Nguyen, Brawn agreed to hack some Atlas
accounts to pay his teammates that needed it until such a time that he
could reach Jimmy. The Agents then began working around the merged Pan
in an effort to uncover Mike Nguyen's true motives, unaware that Jimmy
Woo and Mr. Lao were secretly monitoring them in an effort to test
their capability as Agents of Atlas. Jimmy suggested they didn't need
to keep testing the Agents of Atlas but Mr. Lao disagreed, noting that
the ones that didn't have the mettle to do what needed to be done would
soon be weeded out of the ranks of the Atlas Foundation.
(Future Fight Firsts: Luna Snow#1) - While reviewing files on his new Agents of Atlas, Jimmy Woo began singing one of Luna Snow's hit songs and Mr. Lao quietly arrived in the room. After enjoying the "show" of Jimmy singing for a time, Mr. Lao interrupted to ask why Jimmy was singing and a surprised Jimmy admitted the song was catchy after he had heard Silk singing it. Observing that Luna Snow had a stadium tour on the horizon, Mr. Lao questioned whether Luna Snow could truly commit to being an Agent of Atlas on top of her touring schedule, prompting Jimmy to answer by suggesting Lao review footage of Luna Snow's first concert.
(Agents of Atlas III#4 - BTS) - Following a battle between the Agents of Atlas and the Pan guards including the Protector, Brawn opted to prioritize getting to the bottom of what Mike Nguyen was up to and he tasked Shang-Chi with tracking down the incommunicado Jimmy Woo, who Brawn assumed was hiding something. When Shang-Chi questioned the orders, Brawn noted that Jimmy seemed to be hiding himself and how, despite being Agents of Atlas, the Agents had no idea how large Jimmy's Atlas Foundation truly was or what Jimmy was really up to. Admitting that he wasn't sure if Jimmy's disappearance was a test or a trap, Brawn became optimistic when Shang-Chi suggested Jimmy could be in trouble. Shang-Chi then reminded Brawn that Jimmy was a friend but Brawn replied that Shang-Chi's long friendship with Jimmy made him best suited to either save Jimmy or save the Agents of Atlas from Jimmy if necessary. A short time later, Shang-Chi infiltrated the Pan-Asian School for the Unusually Gifted in hopes of finding Jimmy Woo. He instead ran into Crescent, who revealed that she was undercover as a student there, and, assuming Shang-Chi was looking for Jimmy, she led Shang-Chi to Jimmy's empty office. Inside, Shang-Chi found photos of the original Agents of Atlas and several of Mike Nguyen, including one of Jimmy shaking hands with Nguyen.
(Agents of Atlas III#5) - Brawn attempted to confront
Mike Nguyen for answers as to what he was up to but the conversation
was interrupted by roaring sounds, at which point Shang-Chi reported
back to Brawn to inform him that Jimmy Woo was working with Mike
Nguyen. Brawn ordered Shang-Chi to continue his search for Jimmy while
Brawn himself smashed his way into Nguyen's tower. Nguyen attempted to
calm Brawn and when Brawn accused Nguyen of working with Jimmy to
create Pan, Nguyen revealed that Jimmy had not helped him build
anything and that their only association was a nonaggression treaty
between the Atlas Foundation and Pan, which Brawn had just violated.
Brawn insisted he could not violate a treaty he wasn't party to but
Nguyen informed Brawn that he was party via his work with Jimmy Woo.
Brawn replied that Jimmy had been missing for weeks before reaching out
to Shang-Chi for an update. Shang-Chi and Crescent revealed that they
entered a secret tunnel beneath Jimmy's Pan-Asian School office. When
Crescent noted that they had crossed into a different region within
Pan, Jimmy himself appeared and revealed that they had crossed into the
San Francisco headquarters of the Atlas Foundation. Shang-Chi accused
Jimmy of keeping secrets and Jimmy responded that he always had but
that it had never bothered the Agents of Atlas before. Shang-Chi
replied that it bothered him now that he could no longer trust Jimmy.
Jimmy tried to assure Shang-Chi that he could still be trusted but
Shang-Chi questioned if that were true about Jimmy's dragon, Mr. Lao.
Overhearing that Jimmy had a dragon, Brawn and his teammates found it a
strange coincidence as they discovered that Mike Nguyen was harvesting
dragon scales from his own captive dragon.
Jimmy Woo interrupted the
communication to order Brawn to free Nguyen's captive dragon but Brawn
hesitated, unsure if he could trust Jimmy. Brawn instead questioned
what was going on with Jimmy's dragon but a smiling Jimmy assured Brawn
that Mr. Lao did not "belong" to anyone. Lao then spoke with Brawn as
well, introducing himself and reiterating the priority of freeing
Nguyen's dragon or risk angering every draconian being in existence.
Nguyen and the Protector argued against freeing the dragon, reminding
Brawn of the refugee families now living in Pan, but Jimmy gave Brawn
thirty seconds to decide his next course of action, noting that the
entire world hung in the fragile balance of power between the world's
dragons. Jimmy then informed Brawn that the job of the Agents of Atlas
was to maintain that balance of power and when he insisted that Brawn
free Nguyen's dragon, Brawn suggested Jimmy should have been up front
with his team from the get-go and instead asked for more time to come
up with a plan that would both safely free the dragon and maintain the
merged city of Pan. Jimmy watched as Mr. Lao noted that time was
something they did not have and as if on cue, Namor the Sub-Mariner and
an army of Atlanteans emerged from the oceans with a giant sea serpent.
(Atlantis Attacks I#1 (fb)) - After Brawn convinced
Namor to give them one day to return Mike Nguyen's Atlantean dragon,
Silk asked Brawn if one day would be enough and Brawn replied that it
all depended on what Jimmy Woo brought to the table. As if on cue,
Jimmy arrived on the scene with his original Agents of Atlas.
(Atlantis Attacks I#2 (fb)) - Refusing to battle the
new Agents of Atlas or have Venus bewitch them into working together
with the original Agents of Atlas, Jimmy Woo introduced the new to the
old before tasking Brawn with using his mind to come up with a way to
replicate the captive dragon's power to keep Pan functioning. When Mike
Nguyen refused to let anyone access the captive dragon in his tower,
Jimmy angrily threatened to turn Nguyen over to Namor if Nguyen didn't
shut up and allow the Agents of Atlas to save his can. He then tasked
Wave and Aero to go to Atlantis on a diplomatic mission alongside
Namora and Venus before placing White Fox in charge of everyone else to
help bolster Pan's defenses. Brawn grumbly questioned if Jimmy was
allowed to just step in and bark orders after gone for months and when
Jimmy replied "yes," Brawn reluctantly agreed to do as tasks. When he
asked why the new Agents should trust the old Agents, Jimmy assured
Brawn that the old Agents of Atlas had saved the world on countless
occasions and could be trusted. Brawn questioned why Jimmy hadn't told
the new team about the old team and Jimmy explained that he had to be
sure he could fully trust the new team first, noting that while he had
no doubt of Brawn's heart, he had to be sure Brawn could make the tough
decisions that came with leadership. Brawn argued that he didn't choose
leadership and as Jimmy suggested that sometimes, a person just had to
step up to the occasion, Namora asked Jimmy to leave the rebellious
Brawn alone. The two teams then split up to accomplish their tasks but
Brawn, taking Jimmy's words of stepping up to heart, secretly had two
of his teammates wear stealth suits to keep an eye on Namora, given her
familial relationship to Namor.
After Brawn ordered all of the new Agents of Atlas to keep an eye on the old team members they were working with, Brawn began work with some of the old Agents of Atlas and while they were working, the telepathic Uranian attempted to ease Brawn's concerns by revealing that while the old Agents of Atlas also were unsure of Jimmy Woo's plans and were also concerned Jimmy was hiding something, they always were okay with that knowledge because Jimmy Woo had always done the right thing in all the years they had been working together. Once Brawn had managed to free the captive dragon while generating the same energy capable of keeping Pan together, Jimmy commended Brawn, who admitted that he wasn't sure he cared what Jimmy thought. Having heard Brawn's words, Jimmy laughed and remarked that it might make him even more proud of Brawn.
(Atlantis Attacks I#3) - After the freed dragon
attacked Atlantis and the retaliating Namor was captured by Mike Nguyen
with the help of the seafaring Sirenas, Jimmy Woo and the original
Agents of Atlas regrouped with the new Agents, where they revealed that
the freed dragon had been fitted with Sirena technology. As Namora
demanded the release of Namor, Jimmy Woo accused Mike Nguyen of going
too far, to which Nguyen accused Jimmy of not going far enough and
letting his alliance with Namor stop him from doing what was required.
Jimmy replied that he was not in the business of starting wars with a
sovereign head of state and despite Namora and the Sirenas giving the
horrific back story regarding the violent dragon, Jimmy refused to let
Mike Nguyen and the Sirenas slaughter Atlas' allies. Jimmy then ordered
all of the Agents of Atlas to assemble and prepare to defend Atlantis
but Brawn refused, noting that someone had to defend Pan if Woo's plans
to defend Atlantis failed. Jimmy solemnly agreed to accompany Jimmy's
squad to Atlantis in exchange for the Uranian, 3-D Man and the Human
Robot remaining in Pan for defense. Before Jimmy and his squad could
venture to Atlantis, the Protector and the Pan Guard arrived and sided
with the Sirenas. Jimmy and his squad attempted to attack but the Pan
Guard temporally froze them in their tracks with their weapons.
(Atlantis Attacks I#4) - Jimmy and his squad remained frozen as the Sirenas traveled down to attack Atlantis. Once the temporal effect wore off, Jimmy Woo noticed that Namor had broke free of his captivity and seemed to be in the midst of battle in the distance. Jimmy accompanied Brawn and the others to the battle scene, where Brawn halted Namor's attack and assured Namor that he would help him figure out what Mike Nguyen was planning and what Jimmy Woo's involvement was. Jimmy appeared surprised and Brawn assured Jimmy of his suspicions that Jimmy's part of it was on the up-and-up. Silk soon located Nguyen's computer mainframe and the Uranian cracked it, displaying images of more dragons, and when Jimmy remarked that things appeared worse than he thought, the new Agents of Atlas demanded to know what Jimmy was hiding. Jimmy Woo then reluctantly revealed how ancient dragons manipulate world events in their favor and battle each other using human proxies so as to not destroy the Earth. An angry Mike Nguyen asked if Jimmy was okay with that and Jimmy admitted that he was okay with preserving a balance of power that keeps the world from exploding. When Nguyen noted that the world was already exploding with wars and other conflicts, Jimmy explained that the dragons weren't responsible for all conflicts and how humans were perfectly capable of destroying the planet on their own. Nguyen then suggested he, Jimmy and Namor take control of the remaining dragons across the world and become the controllers of the world but the conversation was interrupted when Gorilla-Man received a communication of something happening in Atlantis. Brawn quickly located the real Mike Nguyen (who had only previously appeared to the Agents as a hologram), who assumed Jimmy Woo would turn him over to Namor for execution. Jimmy suggested that Nguyen not be so dramatic but Nguyen smiled, remarking that he was all about drama before unleashed a small drone that attached itself to Brawn and placed Brawn under his control.
(Atlantis Attacks I#5) - The Nguyen-controlled Brawn stomped the ground, knocking Jimmy Woo and the Agents of Atlas aside as Mike Nguyen announced his plans to have Brawn kill Namor. Sword Master and Shang-Chi eventually freed Brawn of Nguyen's control but the force of one of Brawn's attacks on Namor caused a tsunami that threatened to destroy Pan, prompting Jimmy Woo to suggest Brawn's Hulk form might be able to stop the wave. The Agents of Atlas got the civilians of Pan to safety but Mike Nguyen sacrificed his life to save civilians as Brawn weakened the tsunami enough for Wave and Namor to calm it. One month later, Jimmy Woo and the Agents of Atlas visited Pan to inform civilian Angie Thrasapalat that Atlantis and the Sirenas had signed a nonaggression pact and recognized Pan as an independent nation. Jimmy also assured Angie that other nations would follow in recognition now that Angie had been elected a delegate and Pan came up with their constitution. At the reception, Brawn, annoyed at being manipulated both by Nguyen and by Jimmy Woo, quit the Agents of Atlas and later, Mr. Lao discussed Brawn's departure with Jimmy Woo, who felt okay with the situation. When Lao remarked that Brawn would not have been able to handle the crown, Jimmy announced that, while they might all be wary of kings at the moment, it was time for the Agents of Atlas to help a king against the King in Black. A short time later, Jimmy Woo and the Agents of Atlas aided Namor against the Klyntar god Knull's symbiote dragons.
(The Marvels II#4 - BTS) - After a large black dome enveloped the capital city of Siancong, Jimmy Woo and Gorilla-Man appeared on video and expressed concern for all of Siancong but especially for one of their own, Aero, who had been in Siancong on a mission to apprehend a dangerous criminal.
(Death of Doctor Strange: White Fox#1) - Jimmy Woo
monitored a mission in the Philippines, where Sword Master and Wave
battled mystical demons. He commended their progress then recalled them
back to Atlas headquarters and when Wave and Sword Master remarked on
how they thought they were being next sent to Hanoi, Jimmy informed
them that there had been a change in plans due to a situation involving
a Kumiho. Knowing that Jimmy was concerned the Kumiho could be their
teammate White Fox, Sword Master checked on White Fox to be sure on his
way back to Atlas.
(White Fox Infinity Comics I#1 - BTS) - Following
Sword Master's death while aiding White Fox against the Kumiho, White
Fox became obsessed with avenging her teammate to the point where she
began ghosting Jimmy Woo and her Agents of Atlas teammates. Worried,
Luna Snow spoke with White Fox to express her concerns and offer her
help and White Fox responded by thanking Luna for the concern and
asking if Jimmy Woo had sent her. Luna Snow became angry that White Fox
would ask such a thing but couldn't lie about it either, prompting
White Fox to tell Luna Snow to inform Jimmy that she was taking a
hiatus from the Agents of Atlas. She also told Luna Snow to tell Jimmy
that if he had been a better leader and trusted his team, Sword Master
might still be alive and there would not be two empty seats at the
Atlas table.
(Marvel's Voices: Identity II#1 (fb) - BTS) -
Learning of the villainous Crossfire and how he used ultrasonic
technology to coerce captured heroes to fight while racist billionaires
bet on the outcomes, Jimmy Woo devised a plan with Shang-Chi to take
down Crossfire by allowing themselves to be captured so their allies
could trace the location using tracking devices on each hero. Jimmy and
Shang-Chi would injected with inert isotopes devised by the Atlas
Foundation that would render them immune to Crossfire's technology and
they would pretend to be affected by the technology until their allies
could arrive and help shut down Crossfire's operations.
(Marvel's Voices: Identity II#1) - Allowed the use of
his signature weapon, a gun, Jimmy awoke to find himself facing
Shang-Chi. Pretending to be affected by Crossfire's technology, Jimmy
spent hours fighting Shang-Chi, acting more and more aggressive as the
hours passed. Eventually, Jimmy used his gun to shoot Shang-Chi in the
side, prompting Shang-Chi to give in to his own aggression and abandon
Jimmy's plan. Jimmy berated Shang-Chi for not sticking to the plan and
when Shang-Chi attacked Jimmy up close, accusing him of manipulation
and always wanting to be in charge, Jimmy put his gun to Shang-Chi's
head and commented that Shang-Chi had never trusted him. The two
exchanged piercing insults for a few minutes and Shang-Chi managed to
throw off Jimmy's aim before Jimmy could shoot him in the head.
Crossfire announced that the battle would not last much longer and
seconds later, several of both heroes' allies arrived on the scene to
rescue their friends, having traced their tracking devices there. The
heroes made quick work of Crossfire and the gambling billionaires and
following their rescue, a restored Jimmy Woo apologized for shooting
Shang-Chi. Shang-Chi accepted the apology and admitted that the
shooting was the only way the billionaires would believe Jimmy would
last long against a master of kung fu. Jimmy admitted that were true
but Shang-Chi also commended Jimmy on devising the plan to take down
Crossfire. When the two nearly shared a very awkward handshake due to
some of the angry words that they had shared with one another while
pretending to be affected by Crossfire's ultrasonic technology,
Shang-Chi revealed that he always felt he would disappoint Jimmy so he
had previously acted how he thought the American Jimmy Woo wanted
Shang-Chi to be. Surprised, Jimmy suggested that perhaps next time,
they should meet each other for who they truly were and Shang-Chi
agreed that perhaps they should. As Shang-Chi departed, Jimmy thought
how he would make sure the billionaire bigots who couldn't even tell
two people apart would pay for their actions but also thought how
perhaps he and other heroes needed to be better as well.
(The Marvels II#12) - After the black dome over
Siancong was shattered and the country itself began contracting in on
itself, Mr. Fantastic of the Fantastic Four summoned several
superheroes including Jimmy Woo and some of his Agents of Atlas to aid
the country's civilian population. When Mr. Fantastic checked with Iron
Man and his allies within Siancong, Captain America informed Mr.
Fantastic that the crisis point was within Siancong and suggested that
Mr. Fantastic have Jimmy and the other assembled heroes do what they
could for the people of Siancong while those inside the country dealt
with the crisis at hand.
(Marvel's Voices Infinity Comic I#33 (fb) - BTS) -
While away on a mission, Jimmy Woo tasked Crescent with keeping an eye
on the Atlas Foundation temple.
(Marvel's Voices Infinity Comic I#33) - After Crescent and Io got into a battle with the invited Moon-Girl and Devil Dinosaur, Jimmy Woo arrived back at the temple to find the two young heroines fighting. Halting the fight, Jimmy demanded to know what Crescent was doing and when Crescent insisted she was fighting evil, Jimmy properly introduced her to Moon-Girl and Devil Dinosaur. Jimmy then asked Moon-Girl what she was doing there and he learned that Shang-Chi had invited Moon-Girl to the temple for a Kung Fu training session the following morning. Looking at the mess the battle had created, Jimmy noted that the mess would not be there at all if Crescent had not been up past her bedtime. Crescent demanded to know why she was the only Agent of Atlas with a bedtime and Jimmy reminded Crescent that she was the only Agent that was 10-years-old. A few minutes later, Jimmy Woo informed Crescent that she was being officially enrolled into the Pan-Asian School for the Unusually Gifted to give her an opportunity to grow, a decision he could make for her since the Atlas Foundation had become Crescent's legal guardian. Crescent argued but Jimmy explained that her actions had only proved she was not yet ready for official Atlas field missions and that she would be leaving for the Pan-Asian School the next morning.
(Marvel's Voices Infinity Comic I#36) - Jimmy Woo stopped by the Pan-Asian School to check on Crescent, only to find her busy fighting student bullies Two Crew. The disappointed Jimmy informed Crescent that they were going to have a long talk when they got back to the Atlas Foundation base about Crescent's future with the Agents of Atlas. Thirty minutes later, when Jimmy emerged from the office of Prof. Sanjar Javeed, Jimmy and Prof. Javeed both noticed the smiling Crescent removing her mask around her fellow students. Prof. Javeed noted that Crescent seemed to be learning and Jimmy replied that was all they could ask for. Back at the Atlas headquarters, Jimmy explained why her rocky start had forced him to unenroll Crescent from the Pan-Asian School but also commended Crescent for accepting responsibility for her own actions. He then welcomed Crescent back into the Agents of Atlas.
(Incredible Hulk VII#19 / 2 - BTS) - While saving
Bruce Banner from a group of undead creatures, Brawn apologized for
being a jerk to Banner the last time they had met, noting that Banner
was trying over humanity at the time and that Brawn himself had been
busy running around with Jimmy Woo and others battling gods and
monsters since then.
(Amadeus Cho 20th Anniversary Special#1 / 3) - Brawn
was eating with Silk and Jimmy Woo when armed gunmen utilizing
Eaglestar technology attacked. Brawn suggested Silk and Jimmy continue
eating while he took care of the gunmen but Jimmy pulled his gun and
asked what Brawn had done to anger a massive international
conglomerate. Jimmy and Silk attempted to fight back but one of the
gunmen hit them with an electrical blast, angering Brawn into
transforming into his Hulk form. Jimmy and Silk quickly recovered and
stopped Brawn from crushing the gunmen. When Silk asked what had been
going on, Brawn admitted to Silk and Jimmy that he had recently
encountered a very violent Bruce Banner Hulk and that he feared losing
control of his own Hulk side. Jimmy reminded Brawn that he had settled
his Hulk side in the past but when Brawn admitted Banner's Hulk was
different, Jimmy asked how Banner dealt with it. Brawn replied that he
didn't and had instead just ran off despite being reminded that he had
friends. In an effort to help Brawn feel better, Jimmy Woo and Silk
accompanied him to Worthington Industries on Long Island, where Brawn
utilized Sterntech nanobots in an effort to circumvent his
transformation into the Hulk. To test the nanobots, Brawn led everyone
out onto the beach and when Brawn's friend Hercules felt dishonorable
punching Brawn, Jimmy took it upon himself to use a retractable
cybernetic armored fist to punch Brawn, activating the nanobots and
covering Brawn in armor rather than transforming him into the Hulk.
Following the successful test of the nanobots, Jimmy accompanied Brawn,
Angel, Hercules, Silk and Maddy Cho to dinner, where Brawn explained
the test to Maddy. Maddy suggested Brawn just needed therapy and when
he got mad in response, the nanobots activated his armor again in the
restaurant, prompting Jimmy to joke with Angel about Brawn having
literal emotional armor.

The 3rd, 4th & 6th stories in Yellow Claw I#2 seemed a bit hastily thrown together, almost as if they were originally written as different stories then heavily edited to become Jimmy Woo vs. Yellow Claw stories. Some of the art seems to suggest they might have been drawn as different characters and in both stories, it is treated as if Jimmy Woo and Fritz von Voltzmann had never met despite encountering each other a few times in Yellow Claw I#1. For example, Fritz introduces himself in #2/3 as if he's meeting Jimmy for the first time and then in #2/4, Jimmy sees Fritz face-to-face and remarks "If I'm right, you're Fritz Voltzmann.." as if they'd never met face-to-face before. Both stories also seem to begin and end very quickly as well and the Yellow Claw is characterized more as a typical criminal villain more than the conniving manipulator he is seen as in #1....
In Jimmy Woo's first Silver Age appearance in Strange Tales I#160, he is introduced as being an old friend of Captain America's from "years ago." However, I'm not sure that exactly tracks in terms of when they would've become friends. Strange Tales I#160 was published in 1967, "years ago" in real time but only around one year in Marvel's sliding time scale after Captain America was unfrozen in Avengers I#4. So either Jimmy had met and befriended Cap prior to Cap being frozen during World War II, which seems unlikely, given that Jimmy was probably somewhere in his mid-to-late 20s in 1956-1957 (meaning he would've been a kid when he met Cap), or the two simply met after Cap was unfrozen and the reference to "years ago" was topical. Until we get some sort of definitive evidence such as a WWII flashback showing when they met, I'm going with the topical reference theory.
Jimmy Woo flirting with and kissing Tamara Hashioka during the Godzilla series seems a lot more creepy once you factor in Marvel's sliding time scale. Sure, in 1977-1978, Jimmy would been active with the FBI just some twenty years earlier but when you factor in the sliding time scale, that would make Jimmy active in the FBI several decades earlier and his time with S.H.I.E.L.D. against Godzilla would've been roughly twelve years ago or so (essentially somewhere around 2013 as of 2/18/2025, the date I am writing this comment). Even if Jimmy was an extremely young FBI agent in 1956, that would make him somewhere in his seventies, age-wise, when he kissed the probably-in-her-twenties Tamara. Again though, the story was written in 1977-1978, which would have only been about twenty-ish years since 1956, so the story was written as if Jimmy was in his forties not seventies. So either Jimmy was a creepy guy in his mid-70s who dyed his hair black and hit on twenty-something-year-old women or there was something that extended his lifespan a little bit. Like the Howling Commandos, perhaps Jimmy had come into contact with Nick Fury's Infinity Formula-enriched blood during his early days at S.H.I.E.L.D. or perhaps something he was exposed to during his battles against the Yellow Claw slowed his aging some. Nonetheless, he was ultimately deaged back to his 1956 self later in life anyway...
Jimmy's eyes are mistakenly
colored blue in Godzilla I#10 and in a few other later appearances
though some of these could be chocked up to being a reflection on his
eyes from the computer screen he's looking at.
The Marvel Database Wiki website
lists Jimmy Woo as appearing in Godzilla I#23 but I don't see him
anywhere in the issue. We see most of the other Godzilla Squad regulars
but Jimmy is nowhere to be found. Similarly, Jimmy Woo is said to be
mentioned in Nick Fury vs. S.H.I.E.L.D.#4 and while his name does come
up, it's in reference to the LMD Jimmy Woo not the real Jimmy Woo.
We never clearly saw who the
brainwashed ruling council were in Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
III#43-44 but it was mentioned in #44 that the three members of the
ruling council were brainwashed S.H.I.E.L.D. agents that had escaped
their
stasis pods prematurely. We know that only four agents escaped the pods
prematurely (Jimmy Woo, Sidney Levine, Clay Quartermain & Jasper
Sitwell). Given that Nick Fury captured the brainwashed Clay
Quartermain in #43, the only three agents that the ruling council could
be were Jimmy Woo, Jasper Sitwell and Sidney Levine, even if we do
never actually see their faces as part of the council.
Nick Fury is seen with a red-haired, buzzcut white man (based on the art - see above image in the History section) in Daredevil I Annual#10 and Fury specifically calls him "Woo," which suggests this man is Jimmy Woo. The Marvel Chronology Project and Marvel Database Wiki websites consider this man to be Jimmy Woo but this either has to be an art error or it's a different character entirely with the same last name (as the character in Daredevil I Annual#10 IS never referred to as "Jimmy"). Since both of those websites consider it to be Jimmy Woo, I've included it in the History section here but I'm a bit skeptical. I guess it's just being chalked up to an art error but part of me wants to write it off completely as a different character with the same last name....
The Jimmy Woo entry in Secret War: From the Files of Nick Fury mentions that Jimmy Woo was divorced, suggesting that at some point behind-the-scenes during his history, Jimmy Woo had gotten married.
Woo is mentioned in Spider-Woman: Origin#3 and seen in that issue at a S.H.I.E.L.D. meeting set six months after Spider-Woman initially attacked Nick Fury. There is a flash forward two years later, where we see a man who looks kind of like Jimmy Woo reporting to Nick Fury that Spider-Woman had been located but it isn't clear that this agent who reports to Fury is Woo or if he is a different S.H.I.E.L.D. agent with black hair. The art in the issue doesn't make it clear and the agent is not addressed by name. It does seem pretty likely that the agent at the S.H.I.E.L.D. meeting is Woo but I'm just not convinced that the agent reporting to Fury two years later is Woo. If we get clarification on that later, I'll update the profile with that information.
Agents of Atlas I#1 mentions that Jimmy Woo had been with S.H.I.E.L.D. since the 1960s and had been in the S.H.I.E.L.D. directorate for eight years prior to that issue but that doesn't exactly match up with what had been stated previously. For example, we know Woo was recruited into S.H.I.E.L.D. by Nick Fury in the modern era (although the issues were published in the real life 1960s) and prior to Agents of Atlas I#1, we had seen him listed as a level 8 special S.H.I.E.L.D. officer and a level 3 S.H.I.E.L.D. interrogator, not a subdirector, as he was shown to be in Agents of Atlas I#1. I suppose it's possible that he could've been a member of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s directorate for eight years while still serving as a level 8 special agent AND a level 3 interrogator. Perhaps despite being a subdirector, he preferred more action (which actually kind of works with the story in Marvel's Voices: Identity I#1 showing him secretly still active in field work on his own despite the FBI having relegated him to a desk job by that point). I'm leaning more the "1960s" and the "eight years" mentioned in that issue as being more topical references than true dates due to the sliding time scale. That issue also shows Jimmy at a S.H.I.E.L.D. desk job and made it seem as if he'd been in a desk job the entire time but that wasn't accurate, as we know Jimmy was part of the Godzilla Squad and then S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Hong Kong Division and that he was later replaced by a LMD, only to return brainwashed into serving Hydra. We've also seen him in a few action missions in the 1990s Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. series as well...
Agents of Atlas I#6 seems to suggest that Jimmy's parents fled China for the US to escape the Golden Claw's plan to make Jimmy Woo his heir but several comics established prior to that state that Jimmy was Chinese-American, born in Cheverly, Maryland. This must mean that Jimmy was indeed born in Maryland but shortly after being born moved (or returned, as it may be) with his parents to China, where the Claw determined that Jimmy would be his heir, at which point the Woos fled BACK to America permanently and raised Jimmy. Additionally, Agents of Atlas I#6 seems to suggest that the Golden Claw chose that title to set himself up as a foil for Jimmy Woo to help further Jimmy's government career but 1956's Yellow Claw I#1 established that Jimmy had heard stories of the "Yellow Claw" in his childhood but didn't believe the Claw existed at the time. Therefore, either Jimmy heard his parents discussing the Claw in his true identity of Master Plan (which wouldn't make sense because Jimmy didn't learn the Claw's real name until decades later) or Plan had already been using the Yellow/Golden Claw nickname/title prior to setting himself up as Jimmy's foil. Perhaps Plan Chu had already garnered a bad reputation in China and in the west, and earned a reputation that led to the "Yellow Claw" slur of his name being used before ever deciding to make himself Jimmy's foil and use the term officially...
A photo of Jimmy and his 1950s allies appears in X-Men: First Class I#8 but the X-Men: First Class series was confirmed as not being in Earth-616 continuity. However, the events of that particular story were later referenced in a Marvel Handbook entry, confirming that on Earth-616, similar events at least occurred, just possibly not exactly the way they did in the X-Men: First Class series. Therefore, I chose not to include the mention of this "appearance" in Jimmy Woo's History section since we don't know if that particular photo was present in the Earth-616 version of the events...
The Marvel Chronology Project website lists Jimmy's appearances in Thunderbolts I#139-140 as occurring after the events of the Avengers vs. Atlas mini-series but Jimmy's OHotMU profile in OHotMU A to Z HC Vol. 13 ends with the mention of Osborn sending the Thunderbolts after the Agents of Atlas with no mention of the events of Avengers vs. Atlas, suggesting that the Thunderbolts issues take place prior to Avengers vs. Atlas, which is how I placed them in this profile.
In Totally Awesome Hulk I#15, Jimmy mentions to several Asian heroes that his parents hated that he went into espionage and how his parents had wanted him to be a doctor. One might think that contradicts what was established in the original Agents of Atlas mini-series, in which Jimmy's parents encouraged him to pursue a career in law enforcement as a way of distancing him from the Yellow Claw's influence, but both could be true! Perhaps Jimmy's parents wanted him to become a more publicly upstanding police officer but Jimmy instead pursued the more shady career in espionage instead, thereby making his parents instead suggest he become a doctor or something they felt would help people more publicly...
Jeffrey Gunderson, who was held captive by the Seknarf race alongside Jimmy Woo and several Asian heroes, had an inconsistent last name. In Totally Awesome Hulk I#16, he was called "Jeffrey Gunderblank" but in #17-18, he's called "Jeffrey Gunderson." For the purposes of this profile, I am referring to him as "Gunderson" since he was called that more often than "Gunderblank."
Jimmy's appearance as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent in the flashback in Rise of the Black Panther I#3 is a bit tricky to place into -616 continuity. The Rise of the Black Panther mini-series chronicles T'Challa's earliest days as king of Wakanda and the Black Panther following his father's death and #3 begins with the aftermath of T'Challa making the country of Wakanda publicly known. Specifically, #3 seems to show T'Challa after having just decided to make the public aware of the existence of Wakanda (while still keeping the country somewhat isolationist). The USA did not learn of Wakanda's existence until the Fantastic Four went there in Fantastic Four I#52 (July, 1966) and there's a good chance the FF kept Wakanda a secret for some time before T'Challa made the country's existence publicly known. However, Rise of the Black Panther I#2 shows T'Challa viewing footage of the FF first battling Galactus (from Fantastic Four I#50) so the events of Rise of the Black Panther I#2-3 seem to occur during the time frame that stories published in 1966 occur. Jimmy Woo was not recruited into S.H.I.E.L.D. officially until Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. I#2 (July, 1968), which would have theoretically been several months Marvel-time after the FF met Black Panther so his appearance in Rise of the Black Panther I#3 has to take place after that since Jimmy is seen with S.H.I.E.L.D. and it's a flashback to before Wakanda's existence was known to the public at large. Therefore, I did my best continuity-digging and placed the appearance in between Jimmy's appearances in Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. I#2 & #5. This would have after the Black Panther's encounter with the Fantastic Four in Fantastic Four I#52. It also seems to be before the Black Panther joined the Avengers in Avengers I#52 (May, 1968) despite Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. I#2 being published in July, 1968....like I said, I did the best I could with placing it into Marvel continuity.
Spider-Man II#238 mentions "ex-Agent Woo" taking over a recon duty shift of a S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier from A Red Hulk. It isn't clear which Red Hulk this was (though it resembled the Gen. Robert Maverick version) nor is it explained why Jimmy Woo, head of the massive Atlas Foundation organization, would be handling menial recon duty on a S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier. Oddly enough, the issue even refers to "ex-agent" Woo so the writer was clearly aware Woo was no longer in S.H.I.E.L.D. yet nonetheless had Woo performing recon duty. Therefore, I did include this BTS appearance in this profile but I think one could easily write off this appearance as not being JIMMY Woo, since the act of performing menial recon duty seems out of place for the head of a huge operation like Atlas, by saying that this is a reference to a different ex-S.H.I.E.L.D. with the same last name of Woo. It could easily be a different Woo other than Jimmy since the first name is never mentioned (Heck, maybe it's the redhead buzzcut wearing S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Woo from Daredevil I Annual#10 mentioned above, IF that guy is confirmed as not being Jimmy Woo). I guess it's also possible Jimmy had only agreed to keep an eye on the Helicarrier for a one-time only favor to someone at S.H.I.E.L.D...?
Kim and Margaret Woo were only mentioned as "Jimmy Woo's parents" in their first mention in Yellow Claw I#1. They were finally identified by name decades later in the Jimmy Woo profile in Secret War: From the Files of Nick Fury Special (2005), which was written as if the profile was a S.H.I.E.L.D. file being read by Nick Fury. In that S.H.I.E.L.D. file, it is mentioned that Kim Woo was deceased but Margaret was not reported as deceased at that point, suggesting she was still alive well into Jimmy Woo's old age. If she was twenty-something when Jimmy was born (based on the only image we see of her in Agents of Atlas I#6), then she would have been somewhere in her late nineties when that S.H.I.E.L.D. was read by Nick Fury. In the Jimmy Woo profile in the All-New OHotMU A-Z I#12, Margaret is confirmed as deceased so she must have passed away off-panel in between 2005's Secret War: From the Files of Nick Fury and 2006's All-New OHotMU A-Z I#12. The Marvel Database Wiki lists that Margaret Woo is mentioned in Totally Awesome Hulk I#18 but the closest we get in that issue is Phalkan exclaiming that he would kill and eat all of the Protector's mothers as he is being taken into custody. Since Margaret isn't mentioned by name there AND the fact that she was deceased anyway by that point, I chose not to include that as a BTS "appearance" of Margaret...
One might consider that since
Genghis Khan was an ancestor of Jimmy Woo that Kublai Khan would also
be an ancestor. We the readers have never gotten confirmation of any
blood ties between Jimmy Woo and Kublai Khan, only between Genghis Khan
and Jimmy. It could very well be possible that Jimmy descended from
Genghis Khan on a different side of Genghis' family than Genghis'
grandson, Kublai Khan and without any confirmation, we cannot assume
that Jimmy is also blood related to Kublai Khan as he is to
Genghis...Kublai Khan IS one of the past leaders of the Mongol Empire
and/or its evolution, the Atlas Foundation, as Jimmy did see Plan Chu
riding with Kublai Khan and the other past leaders of the Mongol
Empire/Atlas Foundation in the spirit world...
