Chase: United States
built 614 days ago
Chase is refusing to honor a cashiers check for $19.700.22, 82-year-old widow Willie Floyd's life savings. Willie stored the check, originally drawn by her late-husband in 1985, in a $10 per year safe deposit box at the local bank. When she tried to shift the funds into a regular savings account last year, she was told that the check expired after five years, and that her life savings now belonged to the state. more

Since his Fistigons and x-ray goggles were destroyed during Alex's betrayal, Chase resumes his "getaway guy" role as the Leapfrog pilot in the second volume. He has started a relationship with Gert and is present to witness a future version of Gert come back in time to warn the runaways of dormant threat Victor Mancha. The future Gert dies in Chase's arms, making the search for Victor personal for Chase. He doesn't help in Victor's kidnapping, but does use his switchblade to watch over Victor during a fight with Excelsior. With the runaways' help, Victor discovers that he is a cyborg created by the android Ultron, and they band together to defeat the villain. Chase vocally disapproves of Nico's decision to let Victor join the team, even after Nico states that she's prepared to kill Victor if he ever goes rogue.

The 1950s brought big changes to the Chase. An outdoor swimming pool was built where the original entrance was, just in time for the 1956 Miss America contest. This created quite a local scandal, since the "scantily-clad" people could be seen from the street! The "lady" seen lounging today near the pool (the sculpture!) is actually a priceless work of art hidden from the Nazis during World War II. The statue was discovered by Harold Koplar as he combed Europe for art to furnish his beloved hotel.

Victor's alternate future self, Victorious, managed to fatally wound an alternate version of Gert before she came to the past and warned the runaways of the looming threat; the future Gert died in Chase's arms. Her death made locating Victor personal for Chase, as he sought to prevent his current girlfriend's murder. He disagreed vehemently with Nico about letting Victor stay with the team, even after Nico stated she was prepared to kill Victor if necessary. As such, Chase has tried to distance himself from Victor, despite the cyborg's attempts to prove himself. Chase did admit to Victor that he envies Victor more than hates him, primarily because Victor is the son Chase believes his parents wanted (he even has the same name as Chase's father). By the end of Brian K. Vaughan's stint on Runaways, Chase and Victor had switched roles: Victor stood by the team without hesitation while a grief-ridden Chase carried out his own agenda without regards to the team's safety.
