Base of Operations: Vancouver, British
Columbia,
Canada
First Appearance: Alpha
Flight I#23 (June 1985)
Powers/Abilities: As a normal human, Caliber possessed
no superhuman powers. However, his armored suit possesses enhanced
strength
and speed. The suit also contains the mechanisms to turn the glove
units
into barrels that can discharge a strong concussive force.
History: (Alpha Flight I#23) - Using his new suit, Caliber
assaulted the city of Vancouver, attempting to hold it hostage until
his
(unspecified) demands were met. He was in the midst of destroying the
local
police units when Alpha Flight arrived on the scene. Caliber’s
firepower
succeeded in seriously hurting Sasquatch, but he wasn’t prepared for
Aurora’s newly-developed powers, as she blinded him with a massive
flash
of light. This gave Sasquatch the chance to take out Caliber with one
well-placed
strike.
(Alpha Flight I#25 - BTS) - An unrevealed accomplice(s) broke Caliber out of prison and returned his suit to him.
(Alpha Flight I#25) - Caliber
again attempted to assault Vancouver,
but this time was confronted by what appeared to be Guardian (later
revealed
to be Delphine Courtney). Arriving on the scene, Talisman watched the
battle
for a short period before getting involved, at which time she used her
mystical
powers to create a glob of energy that encased Caliber and made his
armored
suit disappear, leaving him in his underwear. He was most likely
arrested
again soon thereafter.
(Alpha Flight I#121) - Caliber was in attendance when
the Brass
Bishop attempted to sell the bodies of the deceased Silver and Auric.
When
Alpha Flight and Spider-Man arrived on the scene, Caliber most likely
escaped
with the rest of the customers.
