HISTORY

Clifford Zmeck killed Martin Allard's mother, and was sentenced to death before being recruited for the second phase of the Captain Atom Project, the Major Force Project. Dr. Heinrich Megala used a bigger atomic explosion and more of the alien metal in the attempt with this crazed lunatic...which resulted in his being larger and having matter manipulation powers, instead of the force blasts that Captain Atom manifested. Wade Eiling was also more prepared for Clifford than he was Nate, having installed mini-cameras, gas capsules and explosives within Clifford's body to control his insane rages. Major Force was a more willing participant in the Captain Atom Project, due to a lack of the ethics which Nathaniel Adam possessed. He also secretly plotted against the Captain Atom whenever possible, and ended up joining with the alien Kylstar to escape Earth and the clutches of Wade Eiling.

He returned to earth, killed Green Lantern's (Kyle Rayner) girlfriend, and was in turned killed by Warrior (Guy Gardner). Due to the efforts of the Quorum, this powerful madman was returned to his lifelike state to join the Legion of Doom, a team of foes of the Extreme Justice branch of the Justice League, again attack Guy Gardner, and later face off against the Resurrection Man.
