Trapped in the facility housing the Ice Man, Joe Danco and a skeleton crew of Sector Seven agents needed to figure out who sabotaged the building's furnace in order to escape certain death, either via the alien behemoth's hand, or Sector Seven's contingency plan to freeze the whole area over. Though already drinking heavily as the situation unfolded, he maintained a clear head. Upon inspecting the sabotaged furnace, he informed the rest of the crew that the machine had been sabotaged, giving them about four hours before the alien would thaw out of the ice. The group were able to quickly formulate a plan to halt the thawing, hinging on Fontaine linking a duct to pump in cold air from outside. Unknown to the rest of the crew, Danco was the one who had sabotaged the furnace, planning to escape in the confusion with a pocket-full of American secrets for the Kremlin! Danco murdered Fontaine and further sabotaged the furnace to accelerate the thawing. When Bill Simmons showed the rest of the group an escape route out of the facility, via a network of underground tunnels, Danco showed his true colors, expositing that he resented Simmons and his family for taking all of the glory in the foundation of Sector Seven. Before he could escape, the Ice Man burst into the room. Simmons wrestled Danco as the rest of the group escaped, leading to both their (presumed) demise when a liquid nitrogen bomb was dropped on the facility. Frozen

Joe Danco survived, and managed to make his way back to the Soviet Union by 1957, with information about the Ice Man in hand. He delivered the information to his superiors, who had their own Cybertronian under ice, the Decepticon Shockwave. Rising Storm #2
