Biography[]
Chip's history is unknown. At some point he came across Frank Castle and the two decided to team up to take down criminals. He most likely takes his name from a microchip.
He suggests weapons for Punisher, provides information, and sometimes controls the Battle Van.
When news reports claimed that Spider-Man was attacking people around Empire State University, Chip talked Punisher into capturing the webhead. His reasoning being that it would help Punisher seem like a hero instead of the villain the media portrayed him as. Spider-Man eventually mutated into Man-Spider and kidnapped Punisher, who was later saved by Kraven the Hunter.
The two later returned to New York City to stop Green Goblin and found out that he was Harry Osborn after initially thinking that Peter Parker was the villain.
