It takes Solo’s metabolism time to realign after he teleports between locations. He must wait 1-10 turns to "recharge." In order to teleport before this time has elapsed, Solo must first succeed at a Red Power Rank FEAT. He can attempt this FEAT only once while recharging, and failure indicates that he must recharge for an additional 1-10 turns.

If Solo should accidentally rematerialize in a solid object, he must attempt a Power Rank FEAT. A Yellow result is required for success, meaning he instinctively teleports to another location and falls unconscious for 1-10 turns. Failure denotes that he suffers damage equal to twice the object’s Material Strength or actual Strength, if it is a living being. In the latter case, the creature takes an equivalent amount of damage.

Solo made his first recorded appearance in West Germany, where terrorists had seized a foreign embassy and taken several of its ambassadors hostage. West Germany’s expert counter-terrorist unit, the Grenzschutze Gruppe 9 (GSG9), had already surrounded the building and was plotting an assault when Solo made his move. In a pulse of crackling light, Solo teleported into the embassy and blasted away, killing all of the terrorists without harming the hostages. Before vanishing, he left a note that read, “While I live, terror dies.” These words would later become his battle cry.

Later, the terrorist outht called ULTIMATUM devised a scheme to destroy the famous Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France. After foiling their plan, Solo went after ULTIMATUM’s leader, Major Toler Weil, and became caught up in the Symkarian/United States conflict that would come to be called the “Assassin Nation Plot:’

In pursuit of Weil, Solo uncovered an ULTIMATUM stronghold at a “closed” ski lodge on the border of Symkaria and Latveria. Solo found and attacked Weil inside. Coincidentally, at the same time, Captain America, Silver Sable, and SpiderMan were fighting to gain entrance from the outside. Unfortunately, after penetrating ULTIMATUM’s external defenses, Captain America thought Solo was one of the terrorists and flung his shield at him, which distracted Solo and allowed Weil to escape. Captain America eventually remembered seeing Solo’s file, but their methods brought them into conflict more than once during the affair.

Members of ULTIMATUM later decided to destroy Ellis Island, the historic gateway for immigration into America. After Spider-Man captured the terrorists, Solo appeared and shot them all, thinking he was doing the web-slinger a favor. Spider-Man allowed Solo to join in his search for Weil. Spider-Man wanted to capture Weil so that he could testify on behalf of the United States in proving that the U.S. was not involved in the
assassination of Symkaria’s princess and prime minister.

After Spider-Man captured Weil, however, Solo threatened to kill the terrorist. Impressed by Spider-Man’s persistence in defending Weil, Solo allowed the terrorist to live with the promise that he would be put out of commission.

Solo later appeared at a train station in Barcelona, where terrorist leader Toro Mendoza’s men had detonated a bomb, killing numerous citizens, including women and children. From his fortress in the north of Spain, Mendoza and his Cascan Separatists threatened that death would follow death, until autonomy was granted to the rebel Cascan province. Government troops were reluctant to assault the fortress, because they realized that Mendoza would simply escape through hidden tunnels, and his vengeance would be even more terrible. Solo decided to take matters into his own hands.

Using stealth and his climbing claws, Solo successfully penetrated the fortress’s defenses. However, he was caught off guard and captured by a young boy with an automatic rifle. The boy was a loyal follower of Mendoza, and was preparing to leave on a suicide mission to drive an ambulance full of explosives into a government military base. The boy led Solo, at gunpoint, to the entrance of Mendoza’s headquarters. Solo made his move, knocking the boy unconscious, then teleporting into Mendoza’s lair. A burst of machine gun fire eliminated the terrorist leader.

Unable to teleport immediately, Solo blew a hole in the wall of the fortress with a grenade, then escaped. Seeing an opportunity, government troops then moved in and took the terrorist stronghold. The boy, named Carlos, and several terrorists used Mendoza’s secret tunnels and came out near Solo. The boy took a shot at Solo, which just missed his head. Before his comrades forced him to retreat, Carlos swore to have revenge against Solo. Whether the young terrorist ever succeeds remains to be seen.

Solo’s current whereabouts and activities are a mystery.
