[edit] Fictional character biography

Eric Koenig was a member of the original Howling Commandos and fought alongside the team during World War II. He was a pilot as well as a trainer and was very Anti-Nazi German as the Nazis killed his sister. He was the replacement of Dino Manelli, who was away on a special mission, and then replaced Izzy Cohen when he was a Prisoner of War. Upon Cohen’s return, Koenig stayed as a member of the team. After the war, Koenig was one of the Howlers that joined Nick Fury in forming S.H.I.E.L.D. In Nick Fury vs. SHIELD #1-3, a Life Model Decoy of Koenig appeared and was part of the Deltite affair. It destroyed itself in issue 3, after being captured and scanned by Tony Stark.
