History

KIA was one of the successive clones of Michael van Patrick, MVP, created by Initiative administrators.

The clone, who is distinguished by his whited out eyes, is said to have had Armory's moves programmed into him in preparation to use the Omega-Level weapon that killed the original MVP. The Tactigon interfaces with this clone's mind activating latent memories of the real MVP's death. Hacking into the Initiative's computer, the clone learns of his "death" and gains a list of all those present at the time. The disturbed clone demolishes the cloning lab, attacking Baron Von Blitzschlag while saying the term Killed in Action over and over again and carving the initials "KIA" into his chest. The clone continues its rampage through Camp Hammond, striking heavily those whose names are on his list and attacking anyone else who gets in the way.

The clone then attempts to find the comatose Gauntlet, the drill instructor who sent MVP to the ill-fated combat training session. However, Gauntlet's weapon, taken from an alien that faced off against the Alien who controlled the Tactigon in Gauntlet and Armory, seemingly takes control of Gauntlet's body forcing him to acquire the sword element of his alien's armor which recovered when he originally bonded with the alien glove device. The two later battle and KIA brings Gauntlet out of his coma, in a effort to face the man rather than the gauntlet weapon.

After fighting Gauntlet, KIA battles his way through the Initiative to follow trainees Cloud 9, Komodo and Hardball to the location of MVP's first clone, Bulls Gap, Tennessee, where they are attempting to convince the first clone to download its memories into a device (and most likely leave himself braindead) which could then upload them into KIA to reset his mind. After arriving at the location, KIA is met by the collective Initiative force of the Mighty Avengers, the remaining Scarlet Spiders, a rogue New Warriors group and the trainees. In the climax of the battle, the first clone used the device to download KIA memories leaving his body brain-dead. After the battle, Slapstick is seen taking the device which reads "ready to transmit brain patters to new host body" leaving KIA's eventual fate open-ended.
