History
Little is detailed about Forge’s life before the zombie plague arrived on Earth-2149, however it can be presumed that it followed much the same path as Forge (Earth-616).
Somehow, Forge manages to find his way onto Asteroid M unscathed, it is here that he meets the Black Panther who seems to be missing some limbs, and the head of Janet van Dyne, who most certainly is!
5 Years Later
By the time the inhabitants of Asteroid M decide that its safe to return to Earth, Forge has already built T'Challa a new arm and leg, and has also constructed a suit for Wasp, which allows her to move around, though her head, (and teeth), are isolated by a glass dome.
40 Years Later
With King T'Challa on the throne of New Wakanda, and the zombified Wasp seemingly cured of her hunger Forge has created a new suit for her, and stores the newly discovered head of Hawkeye in her old suit.
Forge is working with Wasp when she detects unusual movement in the grounded satellite and disappears to investigate.
Powers and Abilities
Powers
Intuitive Genius: Forge is a mutant with a superhuman intuitive talent for inventing mechanical devices. His mutant ability functions as perception, as he possesses the ability to visually perceive "mechanical energy" (the kinetic and potential energy present in the components of mechanical systems) in action. This power allows Forge to instinctively know and understand the potential and functional operations of any machine or technological device in his visual range, a skill that combined with his natural intelligence allows him to conceive, design and build mechanical devices; and operate, modify and disassemble existing technology or create countermeasures for it.
Forge's superhuman talent does not mean that he is a greater inventor than geniuses such as Reed Richards, Victor von Doom, or Anthony Stark, none of whom owe their talent for invention to mutation. But even a genius at invention must for the most part consciously work out the theoretical principles behind the invention and then the design of the invention itself through a series of logical steps. In Forge's case, however, many of these logical steps would be worked out by his subconscious mind. Hence, Forge himself might not be entirely aware of exactly how he figured out how to create an invention of his.
He has created fantastic futuristic devices including cybernetic systems (to replace his lost hand and leg), sophisticated holograms, and elaborate computer and fiberoptic systems.Abilities
Forge is an accomplished athlete and trained soldier. Expertise in many areas of science and technology, extensive knowledge of American Indian magic.Strength level
