Alexander Mason (Earth-5082)

"I will move without boundaries. I will act above the law. I will use any means necessary to stop the wars that are hidden from the world. And if I succeed, and I will, without any recognition. Because I do not exist."

- - Alex Mason's quote on joining Third Echelon

Captain Alex Mason was a Third Echelon operative and former United States Marine Corps Recon captain who found himself involved in a massive conspiration during the Cold War following years of captivation in the Soviet gulag Vorkuta, where he was experimented by Friedrich Steiner, Nikita Dragovich, and Lev Kravchenko and brainwashed into killing president John F. Kennedy, but was later being reprogrammed by fellow prisoner Viktor Reznov into doing his biding and killing his captors.
