Tucker's father was a dreamer who developed a utopian society complete with thinking and feeling robotic servants who performed every menial task required by their human masters. Tuck resented, however, being used by his dad in the ad campaign that sold Columbia to the world. He also didn't like the uniform and dull existence the mechanical world provided. So Tucker took off to work out his latent aggression by running secret and violent missions for the government. He loved his new job, right up to the moment the president ordered his whole crew to be killed after a highly sensitive mission.
