History
Michael Van Patrick's origins are traced back to the developer of the Super-Soldier serum, that changed a frail Steve Rogers into Timely Comics's (Marvel Comics' 1940s predecessor's) Captain America, scientist "Dr. Josef Reinstein," later retroactively changed to a code name for the scientist Abraham Erskine. On his death, Dr. Erskine left papers, which covered years of research and findings that the government had not seen fit to classify, to his grandson, Brian Van Patrick, who studied his grandfather's work, particularly regarding his work on growing, preparing and serving the most wholesome and nutritional foods, and an exceptionally challenging experimental program of isometric exercises he developed. Brian Van Patrick used the research during the early life and development of his son, Michael, helping him achieve his optimum potential.

The events of the 2006-2007 Marvel Comics crossover, Civil War, required all United States superpowered individuals to register with the American government. Some of these individuals were sent to The Initiative's training camp, Camp Hammond. Given Michael Van Patrick's descent from the creator of the super soldier serum, many people came to suspect his athletic abilities to be superpower-related with a subsequent scandal resulting in Michael losing his scholarship and Justice, an Initiative superhero, recruiting Michael for the Initiative program to train him into a superhero.

Michael Van Patrick joined the program, under the codename MVP, along with a selection of old and new characters to make up the cast of the Avengers: The Initiative. During the first day's training at Camp Hammond, MVP demonstrated extraordinary speed and agility as he broke the camp's obstacle course record for users without superspeed on his first attempt.

During a combat simulator exercise, one of the Initiative trainees, Armory goes out of control and fires blindly on the other recruits, and MVP has to save a fellow recruit Cloud 9. While saving Cloud 9, MVP is shot in the head, killing him instantly.

Initiative scientist Dr. Baron Von Blitzschlag, a former Nazi and supervillain, performed the autopsy on Michael's body. The autopsy revealed that MVP's extraordinary physical abilities were unconnected to the super-soldier serum, and were instead achieved by purely natural means. Von Blitzschlag advocated cloning MVP, much to chief administrator Yellowjacket's disapproval.
