In the first and second issues of Power Girl, in her secret identity of Dr. Paige Stetler, she encountered one Axel Gust, a possible CIA agent, or similar. And there definitely seemed to be his spark. She got his number in more ways than one. A James Bond for Power Girl? He attempts a recruitment for something, somewhere,
Calling him back revealed something else… that he was a field operational agent? A cat burglar? Odds are that he is not CIA at this point.
And aside from a brief flashback he hasn't been heard of since. Well, Bleeding Cool get the word that he'll be back very soon… and what's more something very new is going to be revealed about him. Because in the current House Of Brainiac crossover kicking off in Action Comics #1064 today, Brainiac is gathering up everyone in Metropolis with super powers. Or at least, doing his best.
But in upcoming issue sof Power Girl that crossed over with the House Of Brainiac, just as Power Girl is asking Axel out, in the middle of roller skating, it looks like Axel is also abducted by Brainiac. Making him not just a spy, but a super spy. Sadly there's no reception on Baainiac World. And yes, she does find herself a little too top heavy to roller skate but that's another story.
