Powers/Abilities: Miluv's training was S.H.I.E.L.D. level. He was proficient with firearms, from handguns to heavy repeating shotguns. He was an excellent sniper. He was trained in hand-to-hand combat and in piloting unconventional vehicles, including flying vehicles. He had leadership abilities that qualified him to command teams of 10-15 specialized units.
History:
(Spectacular Spider-Man II#118) - Helms was the
leader of a S.H.I.E.L.D. team in New York. He ordered his team to intervene
and neutralize whom the Police thought to be a dangerous mutant. The mutant was just a kid, but a kid with dangerous
disintegration powers. A delicate mission as such, in a heavily populated area, needed Nick Fury's approval, but Helms ordered to go ahead without it.
The S.H.I.E.L.D. team tracked the kid down but found only
Spider-Man, who was trying to save the kid.
Surveying the streets from a flying car, Helms
spotted the kid near Broadway and called in the Mandroids. But when
Alexander Woolcot destroyed a Mandroid
in few seconds, seriously wounding the pilot Reggie
Simons, Helms ordered agents Davis and Griepp
to stop the kid by any means necessary. Despite Spider-Man trying to protect the
kid, Helms shot him, apparently killing him.
(Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe 2006 A-Z#1) - The kid actually survived because Helms shot a mix of tranquilizer darts and real bullets that hit non-vital parts of Alex's body. The kid was taken into custody by S.H.I.E.L.D.
(Spectacular Spider-Man II#128 (fb) - BTS) - Even though the kid survived, Nick Fury personally dismissed Helms from S.H.I.E.L.D.
(Spectacular Spider-Man II#128) - Helms was hired by Silver Sable International and was given the command of
a team. When J. Jonah Jameson hired Silver Sable International to
capture Spider-Man, Silver Sable accepted for 1,000,000$, immediately
thinking of Helms for the operation. Helms was happy to accept, seeking
revenge against Spider-Man.
Helms and the Epsilon team were dispatched to
apprehend Spider-Man; they could earn a bonus of 5,000$ each if Spider-Man had not
resisted and defeated them. The Epsilon Team was vanquished. Spider-Man stripped off Helms' uniform
and left him wrapped up in an extra-sticky web on the roof.
He ask his team to get him out of the next immediately. From a few buildings away, Spider-Man could hear his
screams.

Miluv's real name and Alexander Woolcot's real end after the shooting were revealed in Ashcan's profile in Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe 2006 A-Z#1.
I am pretty sure it was missed by the profile's writer (and everyone else involved in the handbooks...including me) that he had already been named Helms in his first appearance.
