Al Simmons decise di ritirarsi dal proprio lavoro di killer per i servizi segreti, stanco della violenza e afflitto dai sensi di colpa.

Il sicario fu Bruce “Chapel” Stintson amico di Simmons e per questo facilitato nel compito di avvicinarlo in missione senza destare sospetti. Trucidato in Botswana, Simmons si ritrovò all''Inferno, dove in cambio del suo ritorno sulla Terra, e la possibilità di rivedere la moglie Wanda, il demone Malebolgia gli offrì dei poteri a tempo limitato: questo a patto che li usasse per uccidere dei criminali con cui infoltire il suo esercito e prevalere sul Paradiso.
