[edit] Fictional character biography

Before the war, Dino Manelli was a charismatic actor who was fluent in German and Italian. Manelli was a member of the original Howling Commandos and fought alongside the team during World War II. He was briefly replaced by Eric Koenig when he was sent on a special mission, which was helping to organize another team known as the Dirty Dozen. He later returned to the Howlers but was briefly off-duty when he was wounded. After the war, he retired from acting. He later assisted S.H.I.E.L.D. following the Deltite Affair.
