Cal's History

Doctor Calvin L. Johnson, M.D., is a physician who was a former member of Doctors Without Borders. Having been separated from his wife, Jiaying, who was murdered by Daniel Whitehall, Johnson witnessed his infant daughter Daisy being taken by HYDRA and S.H.I.E.L.D.. In the wake of this, Johnson changed his name to Calvin "Cal" Zabo as he began a quest to avenge his wife's death and find his daughter, while also committing numerous crimes that have caused him to be considered a monster. During this time, Zabo also developed his formula that gave him enhanced strength, so that he could match the powers of the Inhumans. However, the side effects of the unstable formula gave Zabo an erratic personality, and severe issues controlling his emotions, particularly anger.

Having discovered his daughter's location, Zabo made a temporary alliance with Daniel Whitehall so he could take his daughter into the ancient Kree City where she could undergo her own Terrigenesis. Zabo's many criminal actions, including forming the Slicing Talons, had attracted the attention of the Inhumans, who brought him to Afterlife where he was reunited with Jiaying. Zabo and his wife developed the plan to destroy S.H.I.E.L.D. once and for all: However, Phil Coulson then convinced Zabo to fight his wife to protect his daughter, resulting in Zabo killing Jiaying. In the aftermath of the battle, Zabo's mind was wiped by the remaining resources of Project T.A.H.I.T.I. and he lived a new life as a veterinarian named Doctor Winslow while being secretly visited by his daughter.
