Major Story Arcs
Doom's Shadow
Following Doctor Doom's deposing as Sorcerer Supreme and World Emperor, the United Nations passed the Superhuman Borders Act, which stopped anyone with superpowers or advanced technology from entering Latveria to help stop the civil unrest. Fury used this opportunity to create a new SHIELD task force of enhanced soldiers, which were exempted from the Superhuman Borders Act. This included Castlemore.
He was made a member of a task force led by Captain America to covertly enter Latveria and secure Doom's secret weapon. When Cap found evidence of a mass grave that Latverian revolutionary, Salvation, was responsible for, Cap led some of his team after him, including Castlemore. Salvation, who had powerful armor, was able to overwhelm them at first. Castlemore was especially injured and needed to be left behind when Cap gave chase after Salvation.
After Cap found the true secret weapon, a young clone of Doom, he was forced to protect it from the Red Hulk. While that fight ensued, Castlemore went looking for his separated teammates. He found Tambling dead and Widow unconscious. Widow confessed to killing Tambling, but Castlemore forgave her. He seemed to have feelings for her and suggested they run off while the "monsters" fight.
