— Irishman

Corporal Costello alias the Irishman is a field operative and munitions expert for the Blackhawk Program.

History

Despite his name and red hair, Irishman is not from Ireland. He is from Ukraine and has a Russian accent. His parents had international business in the USSR; he got the nickname because his teammates in Spetsnatz were not used to red hair.

He went on a mission to Ayaguz, Kazakhstan alongside fellow Blackhawks Lady Blackhawk, Kunoichi and Attila. He then went on a mission to investigate the destruction of the Central Asian-Supermax Metahuman Facility. When they arrived, they were ambushed by a robot named Titus. While trying to confront Titus, his right arm was cut off. Despite the loss of his arm, he lived and was put on bed rest alongside Kunoichi.
