MEDICAL HISTORY
Carl went through life pretty much unmaimed considering his lengthy career as a villain.

In 1985 when Carl returned for Perry's funeral he was in a wheelchair. This was explained by saying that Carl had been injured during a prison riot when he saved the warden from being kidnapped.

In 1985 he was shot by Nancy McGowan. He fell off a cliff and drowned after a fight with Chris Chapin. Carl was presumed dead for many years until he resurfaced in 1991.

During Hallowe'en of 1991 he had been duped into thinking he had been poisoned, but it proved just to be an elaborate ploy to coerce him into confessing his crimes.

In June of 1994 he was shot by Iris Wheeler during his wedding to Rachel Cory. When he woke up in the hospital, he had amnesia. It lasted for several weeks. His memory returned at the beginning of August.

In 1998, Carl was shot by Scott Guthrie but pulled through with little damage. Doctors noticed a malformation in his brain but were unable to perform a catscan. In 1999, an amnesiac Carl revealed doctors last year had excised a tumor from his brain.

Carl was presumed dead several times: January 1985 (in a plane crash), November 1985 (drowning), February 1993 (helicopter crash), and May 18, 1999 (a hospital fire).

Carl wore reading glasses.

LEGAL HISTORY
Carl devoted almost 30 years to criminal wrongdoing until his reformation in 1994. His passion was counterfeiting.

During his first years in Bay City in 1984 and 1985, Carl went after Mac Cory, seeking revenge for the suicide death of Carl's father. His various dastardly deeds included poisoning Sandy Cory, murdering Daphne Grimaldi (RIP), kidnaping Rachel Cory and Marley Hudson, and swindling Donna Love out of her family's fortune. He was put in prison in March 1985, but was released on furlough in August 1985.

In 1991 Carl shot Grant Harrison. Carl was seeking revenge on him because he had just discovered that Grant had once used his political power to help have Carl put in prison in 1987.

Carl, with Ito (Freeze Frame)Later that year, Carl detonated a bomb that claimed Frankie Frame as a victim.

In 1993, Carl arranged to have Vicky Hudson kidnapped. This was part of a complicated plan to get Vicky and his son Ryan Harrison back together.

In September 1993, Carl was put on trial for harassing Lorna Devon, but he was proved innocent.

In November 1994, Carl took the blame for rigging Evan Frame's car, causing the car accident that left Amanda Cory paralyzed. Even though his manservant Ito had done the deed all on his own, Carl felt that Ito was just carrying out his unspoken wishes. By Christmas, Ito had come forward and took the blame.

Freeze FrameCURRENT AND FORMER OCCUPATIONS
As a major villain throughout the years, Carl's business ventures had been far from legitimate. While Carl was wealthy, it was never established what his source of income actually was. However, he did have a history in the publishing industry through his father's company.

In 1994, Rachel Cory instated Carl as Chairman of the Board of Cory Publishing, much to the dismay of the rest of the Cory family.

He founded a company called Hutchins Ltd. and once owned a hotel.
