Aaron Soames (Earth-616)
From Marvel Database

History
The armor was developed by Cord Conglomerate, under contract with the United States Government. The first wearer of the suit was disgruntled Cord employee Aaron Soames, who had been deprived of his pension when his legal records were accidentally destroyed and Cord refused to acknowledge his claim. While trying to take revenge on Cord, Soames came to blows with Daredevil. Finally cornering Cord in front of the hero, he took his revenge - but not by killing his target. Rather, he destroyed Cord's ID cards and legal papers from his wallet, symbolically paying back his ex-employer for his betrayal. But right afterward, he was killed by a group of security men firing a concussion beam which pierced his armor. Daredevil (in his civilian identity) was one of the few mourners at Soames' funeral.
