The Secret Origin of Tony Stark
451 is revealed to be a rogue Rigellian Recorder, who met Howard Stark and Maria Stark years before Tony was even born. He helped them succeed in giving birth to Tony, as well as implanting Kree technology within him to advance the level of technology in the earth, using him to do so.

With this, 451 was able to use Tony Stark to help him in piloting the 25,000 tall foot armor as a nuclear deterrent, which was called the Godkiller Armor. After a failed attempt by Tony to try and stop the Godkiller from destroying Hope's Postule, which was an inhabited planet, 451 muses and is disappointed at Stark's failure to stop the armor from doing so, (Unknown to him that it never actually worked), he sets the destination course for Earth.
