History
Early Life
Young Brock Rumlow led the Savage Crims gang on New York's lower east side. After he brutalized fifteen year old Rachel Leighton, two of her brothers assaulted Brock and he killed them. Rumlow fled, entering the Taskmaster's school for criminals, and within three years he became an instructor there under the name Bingo Brock.
Hydra's Take over
Once the Winter Soldier apparently killed Director Fury, Alexander Pierce, the highest-ranking Hydra agent within S.H.I.E.L.D, had Rumlow and S.T.R.I.K.E. spearhead the operation to bring in Captain America. However, a surprise attack on Rogers in an elevator at the Triskelion failed, allowing Cap to get away. S.T.R.I.K.E. were later able to capture the rogue Steve Rogers and his comrades Black Widow and Samuel Wilson after a fight with the Winter Soldier, although the three were again able to escape captivity with the help of Maria Hill.
Moments before Project Insight was about to be launched, Captain America and his team infiltrated the Triskelion and revealed the true intention of the project and the Hydra sleeper agents behind it. Agent Rumlow and his S.T.R.I.K.E. team barged into the S.H.I.E.L.D. control room and ordered at gunpoint a reluctant technician to go ahead with Project Insight and launch the helicarriers anyway despite what Cap said. Agent 13 was able to intervene before Rumlow killed the technician, starting a gunfight in the control room. Later, upon hearing that Widow was with Pierce, Rumlow attempted to get to her location only to be intercepted by Samuel Wilson, who engaged him in hand-to-hand combat. Although Rumlow was the stronger of the two, Wilson tricked him into being hit by a helicarrier crashing into the Triskelion.
Crossbones
Although Agent Rumlow was presumed dead, he in fact survived the crash albeit horribly burned.[2] After recovering, he found out that Pierce had been killed during the attack. He escaped the hospital where he was being kept, and assembled a group of mercenaries to aid him. He and his mercenaries attacked and robbed an illegal weapons trade. Rumlow shot one of his men for almost saying "Hail Hydra," claiming it wasn't about Hydra any more. It was about revenge.
As a mercenary, he enlisted with the communist Red Skull (Albert Malik) in Algeria, serving him as "Frag" until he was sent to invade Arnim Zola's Switzerland chateau. Ultimately the only team member to survive the assault, Rumlow there met and impressed the Nazi Red Skull (Johann Schmidt); this Skull accepted Brock’s services, code-naming him "Crossbones".
