History
Tinkerer's first known job was when he helped Quentin Beck masquerade as a alien.[1] Over the following years he constructed or improved the weapons and equipment of various super-villains, including Whirlwind, Grim Reaper and Trapster.
Ironically and unfortunately, while out buying ice cream for his grandchildren, the Tinkerer was arrested for not registering under the Superhuman Registration Act despite being retired and no longer active. He was not given a fair trial and was sentenced to prison in the Negative Zone during the Civil War.
When Lyja transported the Baxter Building into the Negative Zone as the Secret Invasion began, the Human Torch and The Thing sough the Tinkerer's aid to rebuild Richards' portal generator so they could return to Earth and fight the Skrulls. However, the former villain refused, stating that he lost his family when he was arrested and saw nothing to gain from aiding the heroes. Franklin pleaded with the man, saying that his father would not have supported the arrest of the Tinkerer because he was a good man and begged for help. The Tinkerer was move to tears by the young boy's plea and agreed to aid. He, along with Grimm, Storm, Val, and Franklin returned to Earth in the war-torn New York City.
Recently Mason was apprehended by Spider-man and Iron Man and charged for having black market connections by selling illegal super hero equipment.[2].Powers and Abilities
