History

Randall Darby was discovered and recruited by Magneto to become one of his Mutant Force lackeys. Taking the original code-name of Shocker, Darby changed it to Paralyzer when the Mutant Force became the Resistants.

The Resistants' protest against the United States' Mutant Registration Act was cut short by a clash with John Walker, who was the current Captain America. Later, the Resistants reverted back to their Mutant Force identities and costumes. Their next clash was with the New Warriors.

Paralyzer later battled Spider-Man, subduing him with a lucky blow. Spiderman later teamed up with several members of the Midnight Sons who were investigating the activities of a more demonic Spidey-duplicate. While pursuing this creature, the heroes discovered and stopped the Paralyzer's plan to recreate Zzzax.

After the Sentinels destroyed Genosha, Paralyzer, again called the Shocker, helped Toad and other mutants create a statue of Genosha's former ruler Magneto. Unus became the leader of the group.

Shocker was seen during a meeting of Unus' people, after Unus himself was swallowed by Freakshow, one of the other mutants on the island. Their group was not sure if they would take Unus back if, in fact, he had survived. He did return, prompting Shocker and the others into attacking him in order to prove he still had the skills.

Shocker lost his powers during M-Day and the energies that he used to control were then drawn to The Collective.
