Description
Hydra genetically modified teenager Makoto, granting him air current manipulation for flight and wind-based attacks. Raised alongside Adi, Chloe, and Bruno to believe the Avengers were villains, they were trained for combat. On an early mission, Adi and Chloe uncovered Hydra's true evil and tried to escape with Makoto, but Bruno, reliant on Hydra for his mechanical body, refused. Makoto alone reached Avengers Tower, offering Hydra's base location in exchange for rescuing his friends, though Tony Stark initially distrusted him.
During the Avengers' assault on the Hydra base, Makoto witnessed Bruno seemingly perish in an explosion. This trauma triggered a surge of emerald energy from his back, manifesting as wings. The Avengers later linked this power to the "Emerald Rain Project," a Hydra initiative involving cursed rain from green clouds. Makoto insisted on joining the Avengers to honor Bruno, undergoing rigorous training with Adi and Chloe. After they protected children during an Ares attack—where Makoto's emerald wings shielded the group—he dubbed them the "Future Avengers."
His training included specialized sessions. In K'un-L'un, Iron Fist taught discipline through physical chores and combat; Makoto applied these lessons helping defeat animated statues during Enchantress' attack. Thor took the team to K'un-L'un so elders could consult on visions related to the Emerald Rain Project, further connecting Makoto's powers to this threat. Makoto initially struggled with teamwork and impulse control, like convincing Adi and Chloe to leave Avengers Tower without permission to practice heroics—a confrontation where his powers activated to save civilians.
Adversity evolved Makoto's abilities. Exposure to Terrigen Mist during the Earth-Attilan conflict expanded his powers. His relationship with Bruno resurfaced when Bruno allied with the Masters of Evil, creating personal conflict. On a mission to rescue his cousin Louisa, the White Wolf captured Makoto and injected aggression-amplifying chemicals, which he overcame with the Avengers' support. Through these challenges, the team's dynamics strengthened, and Makoto progressed from a distrustful recruit to a reliable hero.
