attempted assassination of Phoenix Industries heir

Life, Failure / Mishap

1989

Jean-Claude Gironde's balancing act comes crashing down. Because he has not been available to his riskier "world-renowned psychiatrist" role for more than one day per week, and because he is not getting enough downtime, enemy operatives from HYDRA almost succeed in assassinating Jean-Claude with an experimental ray gun. He lives, but is confined to a wheelchair while neurologists try to figure out what happened to his spine.
