Powers
Due to his cybernetic enhancements, Coldblood possesses a variety of superhuman attributes: superhuman strength, speed, stamina, agility, and reflexes. Coldblood's skin, musculature, and bones are a hybrid material composed of extremely hard plastics and high grade steel. As a result, his body is much harder and more resistant to physical injury than the body of a normal human. He can withstand high caliber bullets, powerful impact forces, exposure to extreme temperatures, falls from great heights, and powerful energy blasts without sustaining injury. In addition, the computer system grafted to Coldblood's brain allows him to interface with almost any computer system for the purposes of communicating with other computer systems across the world. He can also use this ability to download the information stored in almost any computer system. Coldblood also can fire a destructive beam from his left wrist.

Abilities
Coldblood is an excellent hand-to-hand combatant and has received extensive training in both armed and unarmed combat during his time in the military. With the use of his interface technology, he has been able to download information, such as more knowledge of hand-to-hand combat and the usage of advanced weaponry.

Other Info
Not much is known about Lieutenant-Colonel Eric Savin’s before his time in the military. At one point, he was put in charge of security of the U.S. Army’s Project: Ultra-Tech. Soon after he had taken the job, he was approached by Lieutenant Gina Dyson who revealed to him that the project was just a front for a massive misappropriation of government funds and that there is no Project: Ultra-Tech. She also revealed that the project leader, Mako, worked for three multinational corporations and that they even built a fake city in the desert to play their private war games by testing their own built super-soldiers.  (To learn about the characters above, just click on their highlighted names.)

After this, Savin started to investigate these claims by braking into Mako’s office; however, he was captured and transported to the fake city. Once inside the fake city, Savin accidently ran over a mine that exploded killing him. Luckily, his body was quickly retrieved and reanimated by Gina. She performed cybernetic surgery on him. The operation was successful. Gina had removed his memory center, replaced his damaged right eye with a mechanical implant, and replaced his severed limbs with the state of the art artificial ones. After she was done, they put him in his attack car and remote controlled it back to the fake city. Savin was now a cyborg referred to as "Coldblood-7." 

When Coldblood woke up he didn’t have any knowledge of who or where he was. A computer soon told him that he was in New York and that he was cyborg "Coldblood-7." In addition, the computer told him that he was under attack. When this happened, a tank actually attacked them; however, Coldblood managed to destroy it with the weapons on his car. Soon after this, he was met by more resistance from some mechanical beings and some living people. Gina Dyson contacted him by buried frequency and then guided him to the main building. When Coldblood got to her she gave him all facts of his former self by uploading them in his computer. She also removed all access from him so Mako couldn’t destroy him. Afterward, she then told him to escape from the city. Coldblood managed to get away and headed towards Las Vegas.

Once Coldblood arrived in Las Vegas, he was attacked by Mako’s robots on a couple occasions. Unfortunately, Mako captured Gina and blackmailed Coldblood to come back to the fake city. Even with the computer insisting that he doesn't go, Coldblood returned to the city.

Upon arrival, he was comforted by several more of Mako’s robots which Mako used to play with Coldblood's head. In addition, Coldblood's computer was hacked into by Mako, and now Mako could make Coldblood see things that weren't really there. Meanwhile, Gina managed to escape. Soon, Coldblood ran into Gina and almost shot her thinking that she was one of Mako’s robots. Even though the computer told him that she was a robot (Mako was making him belief that), Coldblood resisted and trusted himself and freed Gina. After this, Coldblood and Gina fought through several of Mako’s robots and finally got in the main building. Once inside, Coldblood destroyed a junction box which resulted in all the robots being shutdown. As Mako noticed this, he ordered his human mercenary troops to attack Coldblood. Coldblood managed to survive when Gina blew up all of Mako’s booby traps he had set in the city. Soon after, Mako himself appeared in an exoskeleton called Weapon Walker and confronted Coldblood himself. Coldblood was severely wound in the battle, but Coldblood was able to call his car and use its weapons to destroy Weapon Walker. Afteward, Coldblood left with Gina who repaired his body to 100% efficient operation. 

Afterward, Coldblood became an urban soldier cyborg, operating as a freelance mercenary. As a mercenary, he was hired by Roxxon Oil to hunt down another cyborg--Deathlok. For this mission, he traveled to Paris where Deathlok was trying to retrieve his real body with the help of the Wild Pack and Siege. Coldblood managed to surprise Deathlok, but eventually lost the fight. However, Deathlok then showed him that what he had been told was a lie and Coldblood decided to help Deathlok to get his body back instead. After they managed to get to his body, they realized it was wired with explosives. Coldblood helped him in defusing the bomb, but they didn’t succeed and it exploded. After this, an enraged Deathlok then went after Harlan Ryker, and Coldblood followed. Eventually, they found him in Kuwait destroying some oilfield and attacked them. Soon after, Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. arrived and together they managed to capture Harlan Ryker. Afterward, Deathlook gave Coldblood a ride back to America and then parted ways.

During the superhero Civil War, Coldblood opposed the Superhero Registration Act and was eventually arrested. He was transported to Negative Zone prison for unregistered superheroes. Later on, he, along with many others, were eventually freed from the prison and was seen fighting behind Captain America and his Anti-Registration heroes in the final battle against Iron Man's Pro-Registration heroes.

After the battle, Coldblood was reported as being MIA (Missing In Action), and his current whereabouts are unknown.

  1. You know, "Coldblood" is a really sinister name for a hero... maybe that's why he looks villain-ish in the movie?
