Biography

On their way to a board meeting, Kinney wondered aloud to Bob Morton and Donald Johnson about the purpose of the meeting, to which Johnson speculated that they would greenlight the Delta City project. Morton knew that the purpose was to witness the unveiling of ED-209 by Dick Jones.

While they discussed a backup plan ordered by the "Old Man" for Bob, Kinney tried to admonish Bob to watch out for Jones, only to get an angry reply from him.

Jones chose Kinney to be the "arrest subject," using a gun in a threatening manner in order to demonstrate ED-209's abilities to the board.

After obeying the droid's instructions, dropping his weapon and complying with his "arresting officer," something went wrong in ED-209's programming and the machine continued to treat him as an armed, dangerous suspect. Despite attempts to placate ED-209, its technicians could not regain control over the machine. Kinney panicked as ED-209 coldly announced it was "authorized to use physical force," and opened fire with its cannons, riddling Kinney from head to toe.
