With his new cyborg body, Truman completed several missions along with Nick Fury before he retired. Through a mind trick he had once learned in Tibet, Truman switched bodies with his fellow former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and adversary, Larry Young, with the hope of starting a new life.

Former Aliases(and possibly the opening link) should include Deathlok.

Actually, they shouldn't. Although the book was called DEATHLOK, Truman never was.

He was in the opening trilogy for M-Tech.

Erm, yes, that's correct, actually-- I guess the DEATHLOK series included sort of a retcon, since the word "Deathlok" was never once mentioned in it. While the "Rage Against The Machine" arc in UNCANNY X-MEN #371, X-MEN #91 and X-MEN 1999 referred to Truman's "resurrection" as Project: Deathlok, the DEATHLOK series only mentioned a so-called L.O.K. unit.

I'll change the bio accordingly.
