Fictional character biography

Jason Lorne Cragg was an unspectacular radio announcer from the midwest until "ionizing atoms" mutated him after it escaped from a nearby atomic experimental laboratory and went through his microphone. Jason's voice changed to an unnatural tone which caused anyone who heard him to follow his commands. Thus, he became "The Man with the Voice of Doom"

He began to get rich with the profits he earns. He then uses his powers on the people to fight Ant-Man (Hank Pym) upon arriving in New York. At a soap box derby, Jason used his powers to make the people think that Ant-Man was a villain. Hank shrunk himself to evade being controlled by Jason Cragg. To evade being found by people with metal detectors, he ditched his helmet and size-changing canisters making him vulnerable when Jason told him to jump off the pier. When it was said that he drowned, one of Hank's loyal ants saved him. After donning a duplicate costume, Ant-Man confronted Jason at a TV studio where he was going to broadcast that Ant-Man was a villain until Ant-Man arrived and used a gun loaded with microbes that caused Laryngitis resulting in Jason's voice becoming hoarse. His control over the people was severed and he was almost run over by an angry mob.

Jason later became a bum on the street until Madame X found him and told him that her organization can help him. Hungarian operators performed micro-operations on his tongue and vocal cords. They also built him a rig that will amplify his voice with digital perception.

He joined the People's Defense Force and worked with some of Hank Pym's old enemies as well as Quicksilver (who was manipulated by Maximus to be an enemy of the Avengers) and used his powers to stop the West Coast Avengers and used them to hunt down Hank Pym and was stopped by his "long believed to be dead" wife Maria Troyvana.

He later took control of Mantis (or a fragment of her) and used her to attack the Avengers until he was thwarted by Hawkeye and Scarlet Witch.

During the "Acts of Vengeance", he was freed from the Vault and hired by the Red Skull. He used Voice and Controller to break into the Smith Building and they were thwarted by Captain America.

Following the Acts of Vengeance, Magneto had abducted the Red Skull. Hoping to find his boss, Crossbones, Voice, and the Skeleton Crew went to search for the Red Skull. They investigated the Hellfire Club and he wasn't there. They encountered Selene the Black Queen who imprisoned the legs of the Skeleton Crew members. Voice used his powers on her until she used her mind to choke him and crush his speakers unless he released her from his control. He released her and she began to choke him again and drain his life force until she was stopped by Captain America and Diamondback. The Skeleton Crew took the injured Voice back to the Smith building.
