During their fight, Cash shows how powerful he is and how truly sadistic and ruthless he has become. He plucks a one man plane from the air and uses it as a weapon, with no remorse for killing the pilot or the others on his island. He threatens to quickly rebuild his "crime empire" if War Machine ruins it, and only stops fighting after War Machine says, "We'll tell your wife and kid you're still alive."
The first assignment given to Cash and his fellow Avengers is to take out the enigmatic and deadly Ghost Rider. In an attempt to "get the jump on" Ghost Rider the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D.
agents stand guard at an airport. Ghost Rider eventually arrives to capture, and inevitably kill, his target. Ghost Rider ripped a man from his plane and quickly rides off but his escape is cut short but a well placed rocket courtesy of Hawkeye.
