Forge

The Native American who bccamc known as Forge was not only trained in mystic arts by Naze, a shaman in his Cheyennc tribe, but was also a mutant, with the abiiity to invcnt highly-sophisdcated mechanical deviccs.

Forge lost a leg and a band during the Vietn »m War and designed mec hanical limbs to replacc them.When industrialne Anthony Stark (see Iron Man) stopped nuking adyanced weaponry for the federal government, the US Defen.sc Department began buying new wcaponry designs from lorge.ITie genius invcntor was soon at work, creating a scanning dcvice that could dctcct the presence of mutants and extraterrestrials. and a ncutralizing device capable of rcmoving the powers of any superhuman being.

When governmcnt agent Henry Peter Gyrioh shot the X-Mfn member codcnamed S ioum with Forge s device. depriving her of her mutant powers, Forge rescucd her. Cym h later hoped to use the neutraiizing dcvicc to eliminate the superhuman powers of cvery being on Earth, but his typically devious plans were thwarted by Forge. MT
