Powers/Abilities: Wired is a man-hunter built out of flesh and machine, strung together with "cybernetic cable." His cybernetic physiology enables him to perform several unique functions, such as producing large spiked blades from his forearm. Presumably, this physiology also enables him to sustain damage that would kill a normal human being.
History:
(Mutant Titans
#87) - The half-man, half-machine known as Wired made his
first appearance and presumably faced-off against the
Mutant
Titans.
(Assassins#1 (bts)) - Brought together by corrupt New Gotham
mayor the Big Question (Edward Nigma
Fisk), Wired and his fellow assassins,
Lethal (Sergei Minerva) and
Deadeye (Bill Lawton), discovered that
they had defeats at the hands of the same women
(Dare and
Catsai) in common. Together, Wired,
Deadeye, and Lethal figured they could teach their mutual enemies a lesson
in respect. Working for the Big Question made them think that the road
to riches was all puzzled out . . .
(Assassins
#1 ) - "Political Suicide" - While climbing up an Arkham Tower elevator shaft
in an attempt to kill the Big Question, Dare (Slade
Murdock) and Catsai (Elektra
Kyle) were blindsided by Wired, who cut the cable on which they
were climbing. An angry Catsai recovered from the fall and sent Wired
crashing through a metal door, impaling him on his own weapon and leaving
him for dead.

Key:
Marvel characters are listed in regular, or bold black
type.
DC characters are listed
in bold blue type.
Amalgam characters are
listed in bold purple type.
In case you're confused, Amalgam Comics didn't really exist beyond those seen in the few DC/Marvel cross-over. The titles you don't recognize are amalgams of similar Marvel and DC comics--Snood.
MUTANT TITANS is
an amalgam of Marvel's NEW MUTANTS (Marvel's Cable debuted
in NEW MUTANTS#87) and DC's TEEN
TITANS.
Although Wired, Deadeye, and Lethal have had long histories separately, ASSASSINS#1 marked the first time that they teamed-up to give a little trouble back to the source.
Due to his cybernetic physiology, it is unlikely that
Wired actually
died when he was impaled by his own weapon in
ASSASSINS
#1.
