Kurt Tetrovsky (Earth-11584)

History
"'This...this is not science. It is witchcraft!'"Kurtis Tetrovsky is a Russian born hacker and computer security expert. Coming to America on a student visa (and overstaying its welcome), Kurt studied computer science at UCLA and seemed on the pathway to gaining a legitimate career in that field until the call of money lured him away. Kurt hacked into several banks at the request of some local drug lords, forwarding them capital for an expansion of their operations. However, this being his first time engaging in criminal activity, Kurt was not as clever covering his tracks, eventually leading to his capture and possible deportation. However, he managed to fake a social security number and birth certificate before he could be deported, convincing ICE that he was in fact an American citizen. Instead, he was sent to Folsom prison for 5 years.

It is unknown how Kurt came to be known by Luis and Dave, but his computer expertise put him in high demand for breaking and entering jobs. Called into service to disable to security systems of Hank Pym, Kurt participated in the robbery of the Ant-Man suit with Luis, Dave and Scott Lang. However when the buyer for said suit didn't show, Kurt was able to escape while Scott was captured by police. Some time later, Kurt and his company were again contacted by Scott, this time to help infiltrate a SHIELD research facility. Kurt developed a computer virus to delete specific research within SHIELD's mainframes, while also posing as a maintenance worker to provide Scott with a distraction.

After the success of the SHIELD heist, Kurt joined with Luis and Dave in forming X-Con Security Consultants. At last check he had been subcontracted by a different company at helping shore up the security at a London museum.
