Early Life
As a teenager Tyson signed up in the military. While on a mission he was caught in a chemical explosion that gave him amazing powers. When Tyson left the military he learned that his family was killed by a mercenary named Ocelot. Tyson dedicated his life to finding Ocelot so he became the adventurer Crimson Shadow.

Early Career
While doing some detective work, Crimson Shadow found files on Ocelot; he had been experimenting with his blood in a secret lab. Crimson Shadow found and killed the mutated Ocelot. One day, Crimson Shadow saved the life of a monk while fighting Warlord. The monk made Crimson Shadow immortal. Tyson met Naomi Collins when he saved her from an explosion in her lab. They fell in love and months later they got married. Over the years Naomi had been targeted by Shadowhawk. When he found him, Crimson Shadow killed him. Tyson and Naomi had two sons named, Ricardo and Elliot. Tyson wanted to protect his kids and he knew that he had to kill Warlord. Before he could get to Warlord, a paradox occurred on Earth and every super villain that Crimson Shadow had killed came back to life. Crimson Shadow got all of them in space and he blew himself up re-killing the villains. Crimson Shadow came back to life and tried to end the paradox by confronting Warlord. Warlord killed Crimson Shadow and cast a spell to keep Tyson from coming back to life. In less then a year Warlord created an army to take over the world.

The Return
In the afterlife Crimson Shadow met a wizard who took off the spell that Warlord casted. When Crimson Shadow returned to Earth he took out Warlord's army. He went after Warlord and killed him. Tyson learned that his wife and children survived the events that followed his death. One year past since the paradox and Warlord had come back to life stronger than ever. Tyson told Naomi to take the kids to her sister, Amanda's house and to stay with them, so they could be safe. Before he entered the battle with Warlord, Crimson Shadow set up an army of super heroes to confront Warlord and his reborn followers. Crimson Shadow and his army defeated Warlord and his forces. Tyson went to Naomi's sister's house to get his family, but they were gone. Amanda had been killed and there was a ransom note. Tyson went to the kidnapper's hideout to find his family. When he got there the kidnapper was already dead and his family was safe. Ricardo's power finally emerged and he accidentally killed the kidnapper to save his mother. Naomi had told Tyson that the kidnapper had killed Elliot. A private funeral for Elliot was held shortly after.

One day, Naomi was analyzing Tyson's blood and saw that his cells were mutating rapidly. His powers would soon overwhelm him. Naomi told him that anything he touched would disintegrate. When Tyson saw signs of his mutation he left his family for their own safety. When Tyson was fully mutated he was captured by Warlord. Warlord made an evil clone of Tyson. He made the clone battle Tyson. When they fought, Warlord wanted to see the clone's abilities, so he made the clone blow himself up. The blast instantly killed Tyson. They both came back to life but Tyson was normal again, so he fled leaving the clone alone with Warlord. Tyson returned to his wife and son, but he didn't tell them about the clone. Crimson Shadow, Spider-Man, Captain America and Iron Man went to Ricardo's high school to fight Warlord. Ricardo had been fighting him until they got there. They defeated Warlord but he grabbed Crimson Shadow and took him to the Negative Zone. The two were fighting and Tyson realized that each of his punches got weaker. Warlord was able to inflict a lot more damage on Crimson Shadow. Crimson Shadow was near death when he saw Reed Richards. He called for him and Reed grabbed him and took him out of the zone. Once Crimson Shadow was out of the Negative Zone his powers started to return. When he was well enough, he went home to his family, only to find that his wife had been killed. Naomi's funeral was private because Tyson didn't want the media there. A couple days later Tyson learned that Ricardo had become Captain Universe. Crimson Shadow has recently learned that the monk that made him immortal had died. He went to the monk's temple and the other monks had told Tyson that the immortality spell had worn off, so if he died it would be the end.

The Avengers
Crimson Shadow has joined the Avengers with Captain Universe. Crimson Shadow had helped the Avengers fight a lot of super villains during his time there. When he was on a mission, Crimson Shadow got a distress call from his son. When Crimson Shadow got there he attacked Mephisto. Tyson was able to beat Mephisto but Captain Universe was taken to the Underworld by Blackheart. Crimson Shadow decided to get help from his nephew, Captain X. Captain X came to Tyson to tell him that he got Captain Universe out of the Underworld. Crimson Shadow left so he could go see his son. Crimson Shadow was ambushed by Onslaught while he was flying to his son. Onslaught was beating Crimson Shadow into the ground until Tyson blasted him away. The two fought and Crimson Shadow saw that Onslaught was losing. He was going to finish him off but he was pushed back by a tremendous force. Onslaught was powering up and he got bigger. Onslaught charged Tyson and attacked him with a flurry of punches. Crimson Shadow was losing the battle against the fully powered Onslaught. Crimson Shadow knew that there was only one way to beat Onslaught, so he flew into space. Onslaught followed and Crimson Shadow sacrificed himself to kill Onslaught.

Rebirth
In the afterlife, Crimson Shadow spent most of his time looking for Onslaught. About four years later, Crimson Shadow was brought back to life. With his new life, Crimson Shadow gained a new power, and he decided to make himself a new costume showing that he is a new Crimson Shadow. When Tyson encountered his son, Ricardo told him that the Sentry had brought him back to life. Crimson Shadow wanted to find Onslaught so that he could finally defeat him.

The Symbiote
While patrolling the city, Tyson noticed that it was being destroyed. When he saw who was doing it he attacked him. What got up wasn't human and it charged Tyson. He attacked back and in the middle of the fight, the creature stopped moving. So Tyson blasted it through a building. He went after it to see that it was impaled by steel rods. He got closer and the creature revealed itself. Tyson was in shock, it was Rick. He couldn't believe what he had done to his son. He pulled him off the steel and waited for his healing factor to take effect. It never did so Tyson rushed Ricardo to the hospital. After a few minutes, Tyson walked into the surgery room. The doctors told him that they couldn't get the suit off of Rick. He then woke up and started thrashing violently. Tyson tried to restrain him but Rick threw him through a wall. When he came back Ricardo was gone. He left the hospital to look for him. Tyson found Misery and tried to talk to him, but he was attacked. Misery and Crimson Shadow traded punches until Misery stabbed Tyson in the ribs with his tendrils. Misery was going to finish him off until Weapon Omega came to Tyson's rescue. They both attacked Misery, and Weapon Omega shot him with an RPG. When Tyson and Weapon Omega got up, Misery was standing next to Warlord and a fully powered Onslaught. Then Captain X came to help Tyson. Warlord attacked Captain X, Onslaught ran towards Crimson Shadow, and Weapon Omega fought Misery. During the fight, Onslaught created a field of unstable energy which pulled everyone in. The field imploded and everybody was severely injured and unconscious. Then S.H.I.E.L.D. arrived and took everyone. Tyson was taken to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s infirmary.


 * Powers                 = Regenerative Healing Factor: Despite his great resilience, it is possible to injure Tyson. Crimson Shadow possesses a superhuman healing factor that allows him to regenerate damaged or destroyed bodily tissue with far greater speed and efficiency than an ordinary human.

His healing factor is developed to the point that he can regrow missing limbs and organs.
 * Extended Longevity: Crimson Shadow’s healing factor provides him with an extended lifespan by slowing the effects of the aging process to an unknown degree.
