(Marvel Comics Presents#31/3 (fb) - BTS) - On the night before Savin was transferred to the Maze, Gina and Savin exchanged further information and became lovers.

(Marvel Comics Presents#31/3 (fb) ) - After Savin was killed by a mine in the Maze, Gina Dyson had to turn Savin into Mako's first cyborg. Gina talked to Savin and all her words were stored by his computer because she still hoped that she could use Savin to stop Mako's plans. After the surgery Mako complimented her work.

(Marvel Comics Presents#26/3 - BTS) - Coldblood-7 hallucinated about Gina Dyson's face.

(Marvel Comics Presents#27/3) - Gina was present in Mako's control room and agreed with him that the Hunter-Robot's detonation wouldn't even scratch Coldblood. She later contacted Coldblood via radio transmission and led him directly to Mako's HQ in the Maze and told Coldblood where he could find her.

(Marvel Comics Presents#28/3) - Gina helped Coldblood to get through the many robots and reach her. When he reached her Gina explained to Coldblood that she did the cybernetic surgery on him and that his memory was deliberately removed. She implanted Coldblood the memories of his former life into his computer and shut off all control mechanisms that would've stopped Coldblood from fleeing the Maze. Then she told him to leave and learn more about his past later. With her last radio transmission she asked him not to judge her too harshly once he had learned more about his past and her involvement in it.

(Marvel Comics Presents#29/3) - Mako went to Gina because he knew that she helped Coldblood to escape and told her that she was now going to be bait for Coldblood.

(Marvel Comics Presents#30/3) - Gina tried to convince Mako that she wasn't involved in Coldblood's escape, but he didn't believe her and tied her up.

(Marvel Comics Presents#31/3) - Tied up and gagged she laid in a room and a broadcast of it was shown to Coldblood through Mako's Agent Five.

(Marvel Comics Presents#32/3) - Gina was hung up at her feet by Mako and left in a room with small robots which started to attack her with electrical charges.

(Marvel Comics Presents#33/3) - Charles found Gina and freed her. She ran away with her hands still tied up and met Coldblood outside who was going to kill her because he thought that she was just another robot meant to look like Gina.

(Marvel Comics Presents#34/3) - Gina convinced Coldblood that she was really her when she showed him that she bled. He freed her from her bonds and she led him to the Maze's power station. She told him only to burn out the junction box because they would need the power later again. After this was done Gina asked Coldblood to return to the library and save Charles. Ten minutes later Gina patched the cables back together to trigger all booby traps in the Maze and destroy the tanks with them. The electrical shock she suffered from this action rendered her motionless.

(Marvel Comics Presents#35/3) - She came to her feet again, got a big gun, and went to the library. On her way she saw Mako with his Weapon-Walker fighting Coldblood. Gina shot at the Weapon-Walker, but Mako was just distracted by this and knocked her out when she was out of ammunition. Her distraction still offered Coldblood the chance to get his car and destroy the Weapon-Walker with it. With a few broken ribs Gina hugged Coldblood, but Mako was still not dead and tried to shoot her. Charles and Coldblood stopped him. Later that day Gina left the Maze with Coldblood  to help him stay together. She told him that now the government, the U.S. Army, and the Multi-National Corporations were after them, but Coldblood was not afraid of them.

I don't know if it was a mistake that Gina Dyson was called a Lieutenant in the Flashback in #30/3 or if she really was part of the U.S. Army.

Given the fact that Eric Savin was Coldblood-7, one might ASSUME that there were at least six predecessors, or at least attempted predecessors.

Charles

(Marvel Comics Presents#31/3 (fb) ) - After helping Gina with the operation on Savin, Schirmer and Charles he brought Coldblood into the Maze for his first test against the Elite Pursuer-9 Assault Tank and the Hunter-Robot.

(Marvel Comics Presents#31/3) - Charles was contacted by Agent Five from Las Vegas. After Schirmer got beaten by Mako, Charles asked where Gina was. Mako gave him no answer and told Charles to prepare everything for the next day's reception. Charles was surprised that Mako wanted to do the reception without Coldblood.

(Marvel Comics Presents#32/3) - Charles followed Mako's orders and readied everything for the reception. Later at the reception he asked Mako if he wanted to go through with his contingency plan if Coldblood didn't arrive. Mako affirmed it and told Charles to send in the "terrorist" in five minutes to start the show. Five minutes later Charles sent in a robot posing as a terrorist. After that he left to search for Gina Dyson and he found her in a room attacked by small robots.

(Marvel Comics Presents#33/3) - He entered the room and was attacked by the small robots. Charles was still able to sever the string holding Gina with a shot, and she fled while Charles was further attacked with electrical charges by the small robots.

(Marvel Comics Presents#35/3) - Charles regained consciousness and went into the Maze. He shot Mako who tried to shoot Gina and watched Coldblood finish Mako off for good. Charles stayed at the Maze to think up a story to explain everything that had happened. He didn't stop Gina and Coldblood.

(Marvel Comics Presents#33/3) - After Mako had killed the corporations' representatives Schirmer was afraid that they would get into trouble, but Mako wasn't afraid because he would recapture Coldblood that night and present him to their investors.

(Marvel Comics Presents#34/3) - Schirmer watched how Mako sent Coldblood and Gina through his holographic hell, but when Mako wanted to self-destruct the power station with Gina and Coldblood in it, Schirmer had enough. He attacked Mako and prevented the deaths of Gina and Coldblood. Mako shot Schirmer in the head for his betrayal.
