[edit] Fictional character biography
The youngest son of Tyler Stuart, a warden at Seagate prison, Tim Stuart was employed by Justin Hammer and given a costume, jet-pack, and assorted weaponry. He took the name Discus, as his weapon of choice was a throwing disc; he usually carried disc-shaped flying blades. The younger brother of Stiletto, he was most often partnered, and rarely went on his own missions. Like Stiletto, he was a constant thorn in Luke Cage's side, but he also battled the Heroes for Hire, the Daughters of the Dragon, and Iron Fist. He and his brother, while imprisoned, found religion, but soon reverted back to their old ways and began working for Deadly Nightshade. However, as Stiletto continued on in his criminal career, Discus has not been seen for quite some time.
[edit] Civil War
Discus returned and is recruited as part of Hammerhead's supervillain army. However, Iron Man and S.H.I.E.L.D. forces attacked their forces[1].
