Bridge, G.W.

Full Name: General George Washington Bridge
Affiliation: S.H.I.E.L.D., Six Pack II
Previous Affiliations: Weapon: P.R.I.M.E., Six Pack
Alternate-X Versions: None
Codename Etymology: (Last Name) Pronounced brĭj [From Middle English brigge, from Old English brycg (akin to Old High German brucka: bridge, Old Church Slavonic bruvuno: beam)]; a structure carrying a pathway or roadway over a depression or obstacle
Powers: None (human). Bridge used to be a member of the mercenary group known as the Six Pack, which was led by Cable. After the group disbanded, Bridge ended up working for S.H.I.E.L.D., where he was the Director of Mutant Affairs. While he has doubts and fears about mutants in general, he has retained his friendship with Cable, although the two are not as close as they once were. Recently, with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s crackdown on Cable going into high gear, Bridge was transferred to the Washington bureau. The full purpose of his transfer is unknown, but it was definitely done to get him out of the way. Bridge was then contacted by Irene Merryweather, an associate of Cable's, and gave her some information that allowed her to write an expose on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s antics. He has apparently been reassigned to the Helicarrier, but his current job is unknown, given Nick Fury's return.

Recently, when Cable unleashed and then purged the Facade virus all over the globe, Bridge formed a new Six Pack team tasked with bringing Cable down. Cable did not stop the Pack's infiltration of his station, Providence, but also did not allow them to do any damage until Deadpool had neutralized his mental abilities. Bridge and the Six Pack, however, were temporarily trapped in Cable's mind until Deadpool re-booted Cable's immune system with an infant Phalanx.
