History: Microchip is probably the only friend and confidante that The Punisher has. A former weapons engineer, Microchip made his living as a mechanic, computer hacker and expert inventor, and built most of The Punisher's arsenal.

Throughout the years, Micro had been The Punisher's sidekick on many missions and the brains behind a lot of the Punisher's operations. Microchip had also become a target over the years by many of The Punihser's enemies. One such enemy was the Kingpin, Kingpin had Micro kidnapped and held as a prisoner, cutting his finger off and sending it to The Punisher in the mail.

Microchip was killed by Sudden Death, a rogue SHIELD agent.
