Major Force is a criminal who is serving a life sentence when the government offers to use him in experiments with Dilustel metal. He becomes an arch-enemy of Captain Atom and occasionally battles the Green Lantern Corps as well.
Crime and punishment
In Green Lantern (vol. 3) #54 (August 1994), Major Force kills Alexandra DeWitt, girlfriend of Green LanternKyle Rayner, and leaves her body in a refrigerator for Kyle to find.[3] Guy Gardner kills Major Force, but he proves to be nigh-immortal due to his nature as an energy being and returns on multiple occasions, gaining shapeshifting abilities after being enhanced with Vuldarian DNA.[4][5][6]
In Green Lantern (vol. 3) #180 (October 2004), Major Force apparently kills Kyle Rayner's mother Maura. Kyle decapitates him and takes his head into space before learning that Maura is alive.
Major Force reappears in Battle for Blรผdhaven as the leader of project S.H.A.D.E. before Captain Atom kills him. However, he is later resurrected and joins the Secret Society of Super Villains.[7][8][9][10]
The New 52
In The New 52 continuity reboot, Major Force is a government agent working under General Wade Eiling, with a special rank that allows him to represent all branches of the military. He seeks to protect Firestorm from villains and convince him to work for the government. However, Major Force comes to view Firestorm as a threat to national security and becomes his enemy.[11][12]
Powers and abilities
Major Force is coated with the same Dilustel alien alloy that covers Captain Atom.[13] This enables him to access the Quantum Field and use its energies for a variety of powers. He possesses superhuman physical abilities and is virtually immortal.[14] Cracking or rupturing his skin causes Major Force to leak radiation at an uncontrollable rate, to which he runs the risk of atomic detonation.
Major Force's energy manipulation enables him to generate dark matter, which he uses to propel himself due to initially lacking the ability to fly.[15][16]
