Cole's name is first mentioned in panel 3 on page 3 in The Uncanny X-Men #133. Cole is one of a group of regular Hellfire Club soldiers wearing their standard blue and red uniform. They were looking for Wolverine, and then were surprised when the mutant X-Man jumped from the ceiling and attacked them. After defeating the older Hellfire Club soldiers, only Cole and one other are left. One of them shoots Wolverine, who falls backwards into a pile of boxes. Cole approaches the pile. Another soldier says: "He's down, Cole, an' he ain't movin'! s he--?!"

Cole says: "I don't know! Stay back and cover me! I'm positive I hit Wolverine dead center, but tonight, I'm taking no chances."

Wolverine is not dead. When Cole walks up to him to check his status, Wolverine slashes him, injuring him seriously.
