Coronary was a medical student when he was experimented upon by Genetech while researching the creation of superhuman beings. Developing psionic abilities and taking on the codename of Coronary he became a member of Psionex. During Psionex's battle with the New Warriors, one of the Warriors, Namorita picked Coronary up. In defense Coronary inflicted stomach pains, causing Namorita to drop him, but his body shattered from the drop.[1] Later, Coronary managed to reassemble himself and began to exhibit a noticeable increase in power when he focused his power inward, allowing himself to control his own bodily state, including making himself intangible and having a minor ability to shapeshift; he has recently appeared under his original humanoid form—his jagged-glass body is no longer permanent.[2][3]
During the height of Civil War Coronary was forced to join the New Thunderbolts team with other supervillains.
Coronary and Psionex are revealed as members of the Initiative's Maryland team.[4]
Coronary has the ability to affect the body functions of others and to alter the composition of his own body.
He can use biotelepathy to induce vomiting, unconsciousness, or, as his name suggests, heart attacks. His power is informed by his medical training.
He can also change his body's molecular structure at will in order to phase through objects, grow, create jagged spikes, and shapeshift.
