José Gutierrez grew up in a Spanish-speaking household where his mother habitually cooked a special family meal on Sundays. As a young man, Gutierrez struggled with the fact that he was gay, living in fear and feeling like an outcast. He became a construction foreman at SJG Construction and a motorcycle enthusiast, and he eventually came out as gay. His life became happier and he lived with his boyfriend for a short while before they broke up, with Gutierrez beginning to go to the gym as a result. One morning, Gutierrez took Nature Max Supplements Fish Oil pills and underwent Terrigenesis; when he emerged from his chrysalis, he had gained the power to melt metal objects.

Gutierrez discovered that the Secret Warriors were being ambushed by S.H.I.E.L.D. and helped pull them to safety, melting a doorframe to keep them safe. Lincoln Campbell explained that they were being blamed for Gideon Malick's murder as Hive could control Inhumans. While the team discussed this, Gutierrez panicked at the concept and insisted upon leaving. Eventually Daisy Johnson convinced the team not to fight each other but find their own way out and figure out the situation themselves, away from S.H.I.E.L.D..
However Johnson instead led Gutierrez to the Containment Module where Phil Coulson was waiting, claiming he had discovered who was the infected Inhuman. Coulson claimed that Campbell was the one to blame as he had discovered the Kree Orb within Campbell's locker. Campbell denied all involvement but the team remained highly skeptical as Coulson noted he had stolen the Terrigen Crystals from the same room before and that during an earlier mission Campbell had encountered Hive at the Transia Corporation Headquarters while completely on his own, much to everyone's dismay.

Gutierrez is an Inhuman who achieved his genetic potential after undergoing Terrigenesis during the Inhuman Outbreak and gained superhuman powers.
- Metal Manipulation : Gutierrez originally only possessed the ability to melt any metallic object in a three meter range around him, especially by touching it. After several months of S.H.I.E.L.D. training, he can now manipulate any metallic object and make it shape-shift into any form that he can imagine. He showed Andrew Garner that he could use his mind to force a file cabinet into a sphere-like shape with minimal strain. He was also able to instinctively melt bullets that were shot at him, making them harmless. During the Hijacking and Retaking of Zephyr One, he demonstrated a more offensive use of his powers by shape-shifting a pipe into a pointed stake, which he used to kill Lucio.
- Bilingualism : Gutierrez can speak both English and Spanish.
- Heckler & Koch MP5A3 : Gutierrez and Lance Hunter took many of these weapons from the operatives they had already knocked unconscious in order to barricade themselves inside the portal chamber of the HYDRA Castle, giving them to the rest of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, and used it to escape from the castle following Alphonso Mackenzie's orders.
