Derek nods. “3-D Man. Chuck Chandler. According to SHIELD files, Chuck was a test pilot whose ship crashed while piloting a new rocket for the Air Force back in ’57. His body was never recovered. Officially, anyway.
“What wasn’t mentioned officially was that Chuck was abducted by aliens… aliens we have since tentatively identified as Skrulls. In his escape and return to the ship, something… happened we have yet to quantify. All we do know is that somehow, due to being affected in some unknown way by Skrull technology, Chuck ended up superimposed on his brother Hal’s glasses.”*

Khanata shrugs. “When his brother concentrated, however, he could release Chuck from the glasses for a limited time - but the process put Hal himself into a coma for the duration of Chuck’s absence. Hal let Chuck loose a few times over the next few years, including for Woo’s little ‘G-Men’ team… but then stopped altogether following the team’s dissolution.”

Khanata shrugs. “My guess? Trapped in his brother’s glasses. Hal eventually married Chuck’s girlfriend, and they had a kid, and then grandkids. When his son and daughter-in-law were killed in a car crash, Hal and his wife raised the kids as their own; the eldest kid, named after Grandpa Hal, even started going by ‘Hal Jr.’” He pauses a moment. “There was a report of Banner passing near their home a few years back, and some reports of 3-D Man fighting the Hulk*, but that’s it. Sounds like he just didn’t want to get involved with the spandex crowd anymore, and left his brother trapped.”
