History[]
Tatewaki Kuno is the brother of Kodachi Kuno. He believes he deserved to inherit Kuno Industries instead of Kodachi. Tatewaki was called by Nodoka Saotome in activating "Project Avengers" in order to track down Captain Japan and find and defeat the Bunshichi Tawara and A.I.M. Kuno remained with Nodoka behind the scenes, observing the Avengers' battle against the Bunshichi and his fatal defeat by Captain Japan.
Kuno later confronted Nodoka Saotome in a S.H.I.E.L.D. safehouse, where he acknowledged to Nodoka that he had known that she was responsible for hiring the Bunshichi to come out of retirement in order to secure him a position in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s employment and eventually regain her old title as Director.
Kuno later participated in the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s war against a vampire epidemic. Following the vampire eradication Kuno found his sister Kuno severely wounded and was subsequently sent for immediate medical attention. Thereafter, Kuno worked with the Ultimates and the current director in apprehending Nodoka for allegedly going rogue selling top secret superhuman research on the black market. However, it was revealed that Kuno was actually responsible for leaking the information and manipulated both the Ultimates and the Avengers into removing Nodoka and the current director to become head of S.H.I.E.L.D.
