History:

(Daredevil II#45 (fb) - BTS) - The crime lord Owl Owl hired Dr. Sykes, a self-proclaimed alcoholic, to scrape his DNA and make MGH from it.

(Daredevil II#45) - Sykes had to scrape more from Owl, infuriating him, and Sykes claimed that they'd lost another supply due to a battle with Iron Man. Owl questioned Sykes just as they FBI, led by Agent Harold Driver, rushed in in a raid. Anad tried stepping up, but Driver silenced him. Driver questioned the Owl, explaining that another dealer, Riley Jenkins, had been killed and that Owl was the primary suspect. Driver sarcastically told Anad that Kingpin had been much smarter about his business, then recognized Sykes. They told the men that Sammy Silke, who'd been under their protection, had been murdered, shocking Anad and Sykes. Owl then leapt up and attacked the agents. Driver was knocked down, firing his gun. Owl tried running for it but Daredevil defeated the Owl with a series of punches as the FBI watched. Driver let Daredevil go, wishing he'd warned him about the Kingpin's return.
