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. His former lover Dyson 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 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 Gina's help 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 Dr. Jonathan Cayre's lab. 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.

In the 2006-2007 "Civil War" storyline, Coldblood was one of the many super-heroes against the Superhuman Registration Act, and was arrested. He is seen being transported to the Pro-Registration super-prison 42 built within the Negative Zone, but almost immediately suffers a paralyzing, psychotic break apparently due to the sensory warping effects of his new environment and his own anguish. Later, he is seen in the background behind Steve Rogers and the others just before the final confrontation after being freed during the exodus created by the resistance. Coldblood then participated during the battle between both sides, and was later referred to being missing in action.
