(Captain Marvel I#8 (fb) - BTS) - Lawson was contacted by the Organization, an International criminal consortium. The Organization financed Lawson to build its perfect agent with 12 Million dollars. Lawson decided to build a robot-killer. With the money he built a vast research hi-tech laboratory under the mountain near his home and also built a rich villa above the lab.

His airplane was struck by a laser-ray shot by a Yon-Rogg's Kree spaceship. The laser-ray was directed at Mar-Vell but was intercepted by the airplane that exploded and fell to the ground. Lawson was found dead by Captain Marvel.
