Nguyen Ngoc Coy was a former general in the South Vietnamese army. He calls himself a simple businessman these days, one fortunate enough to be a self-made multi-millionaire. When South Vietnam fell, knowing Xi'an's and Tranh's powers, he arranged for their evacuation, but only Tran was rescued. Once in America, Xi'an, Leong and Nga reunited with Tran and him, since he prospered. He suggested Xi'an to use her power in his service, as Tran did, but she refused and left with the children, whom he kidnapped until she would have worked for him. While he was hosting a charity party attended by Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Ben Grimm and Alicia Masters, whose sculptures he purchased in great amount, Spider-Man attempted to rescue Leong and Nga, but he was eventually defeated by Tran and the Fantastic Four. That night, on Pier 32 of the Brooklyn side of the East River, General Coy and his henchmen brought Leong and Nga to a ship that would have taken them away to be tested for paranormal abilities, but his plan was foiled by the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man and Xi'an[1].
