James Phelps (Earth-7253)

"Well, you think about it, Jason, it was inevitable. No more Cold War. No more secrets you keep from yourself. Answer to no one but yourself. Then, you wake up one morning and find out the President is running the country without your permission. The son of a bitch, how dare he. Then you realize, it's over. You are an obsolete piece of hardware, not worth upgrading, you got a lousy marriage, and 62 grand a year."

James "Jim" Phelps was a high-ranking operative of the Third Echelon and leader of the team sent to retrieve stolen NCO files of the agency in 1996, on Prague. Delluded since the end of the Cold War, Phelps eventually betrayed his team and country to sell classified information to crime lord Max Mitsopolis and faking his death, but was eventually killed by Jason Bourne.
