Fictional Character Biography
While still a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Army at Camp Killian, Eric Savin was put in charge of Project: Ultra-Tech. There he met the love of his life, Lieutenant Gina Dyson. While on patrol, Savin stepped onto a freshly planted mine which blew him into pieces. He was dead for 2.3 minutes. Gina immediately performed cybernetic surgery on him. The surgery was successful — Savin was alive, but resurrected as a cyborg by Mako's Project: Ultra-Tech. Dyson, his former lover, aided him in battling Mako and his robots, and apparently slew Mako in combat. The "7" in Coldblood's original name was stated to be a mere wordplay on Coldblood's real name "Eric Savin", as his surname is pronounced in the same way.
Coldblood became an urban soldier cyborg, operating as a freelance mercenary. He evaded capture by Mechadoom. Coldblood hunted down and fought the third Deathlok in Paris. He then joined forces with Deathlok and Siege in defeating Harlan Ryker and his cyber-warriors.
Coldblood gave in to his cyborg-form at one point but with the help of Gina was brought back to the human side in him.
In later missions, Coldblood was hired by Roxxon Oil and had to get a stolen biochemical weapon back from the lab of Dr. Jonathan Cayre. Coldblood gained the help of the original Excalibur team and succeeded in his mission. Again later, Savin worked together with fellow cyborg Deathlok, Silver Sable and her Wildpack against the villain group ULTIMATUM.

Famous quotes containing the words fictional, character and/or biography:
“One of the proud joys of the man of letters—if that man of letters is an artist—is to feel within himself the power to immortalize at will anything he chooses to immortalize. Insignificant though he may be, he is conscious of possessing a creative divinity. God creates lives; the man of imagination creates fictional lives which may make a profound and as it were more living impression on the world’s memory.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
“What is character but the determination of incident? What is incident but the illustration of character?”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
“In how few words, for instance, the Greeks would have told the story of Abelard and Heloise, making but a sentence of our classical dictionary.... We moderns, on the other hand, collect only the raw materials of biography and history, “memoirs to serve for a history,” which is but materials to serve for a mythology.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
