Barracuda humiliated Nick Fury, making Him realize that the CIA and Congress would bury any report pertinent to His South American war crimes investigation as it implicated too many people. Barracuda's ODA went AWOL shortly after Fury's inquires. Nick Fury was eventually able to find and assault him five years later. After leaving the military, he became a feared gangster. At one point he was arrested at the site of a gangland massacre. He had been snorting lines of cocaine off a severed head.
