Darren Cross, also known as Yellowjacket, was the CEO of Cross Technologies.
Darren Cross graduated from MIT as valedictorian at the age of twenty. He was hired directly from MIT by Hank Pym, and for a time worked as his assistant. However, he became obsessed with learning the secrets of Pym's Ant-Man Suit, and his size-reducing Pym Particle technology. At some point, he forced Pym from his company, Pym Technologies, and took over as CEO, renaming it Cross Technologies.
Cross Technologies became a rival of Stark Industries under the guidance of Darren Cross. Cross made his own weaponized version of the Ant-Man Suit, created by Hank Pym, called the Yellowjacket Suit.
