| Origin |
| A Cheyenne Indian who was
the pupil of his tribe's shaman, Jonathon Silvercloud developed considerable
mystical powers, but he also had a mutant talent for inventing mechanical
devices. Serving in a south-east Asian war Silvercloud lost his right hand and leg in
a bombing attack. Designing a bionic hand and leg he forsook magic to
instead concentrate on his career as the inventor, Forge. |
