| paraphernalia = Force's armor is composed of a high-impact, lightweight, titanium steel alloy meshing with a high resistance to injury, corrosion, and heat. The armor amplifies his strength to superhuman levels enabling him to lift 15 tons. The armor features an internal air supply lasting over two hours, and the armor can be sealed for travel through low oxygen or underwater environments and contains temperature insulators and regulators. The armor's computer system includes a sophisticated subspace/satellite radio communications array, which can also provide local radio signals, and world maps projected inside a sophisticated faceplate within the helmet. It is powered by nanosilicon wafer-thin solar power receptors deposited on all surfaces, which converts sunlight into electrical energy stored in high-density cryogenic flat batteries.

The armor contains highly miniaturized generators that can create energy for a variety of effects including creating solid force fields for himself and others. Force can discharge pure force bolts that gain strength the further they travel. These can penetrate 2" thick steel at close range, and the discharge of the bolts can be adjusted to lower levels. Force can meld objects into steel by emitting a force pulse into the object itself, causing no damage to the object in the process. By surrounding his armored fists with force fields, Force can increase the amount of concussive force of his punches, enough to engage in hand-to-hand combat with superhumanly powerful beings. Force can also project force fields strong enough to support up to 25 tons and able to resist concussive force of approximately 80,000 lbs. per second. Can usually generate a field up to 20 feet in diameter, given enough energy, Force could theoretically engulf an entire city.

Force can electrify any force field he creates, sufficient enough to disrupt to nervous system of a normal person, causing death. Force can discharge EMPs that can shut down devices within 50-yards. Built into the armor is an EMI (electromagnetic interference) shielding, that protects from the blast.

Force can compress air using two miniature magnetically powered turbines to enable him to fly at speeds up to Mach 1.2 (960 mph) for a distance of 4,500 without recharge.

bio_text= Clayton Wilson, using an alias, was a graduate student at Empire State University in New York, working as a research assistant to [[Walthers, Damon|Dr. Damon Walthers]], a scientist who had developed a device for generating force fields. Envisioning the various ways he could use the invention for personal gain, Wilson stole the prototype. With the item in hand, Wilson quickly built a battle-suit and adopted the name Force. It wasn't long before Wilson began a crime spree in New York City which eventually lead to his defeat at the hands of [[Sub-Mariner|Namor, the Sub-Mariner]], who needed the technology to protect [[Atlantis]] from a poison gas.

Force later came under the employ of [[Hammer, Justin|Justin Hammer]], an unscrupulous industrialist, who offered to finance improvements on Wilson's armor in exchange for half of the profits made through Force's criminal ventures. Hammer placed Force in charge of all his illegal shipping operations, which included marine piracy, so Hammer could smuggle raw opium into the U.S. for an American businessman. During one of these routine operations, Force and his group of mercenaries hijacked the yacht of [[Iron Man (Anthony Stark)|Tony Stark]] and took several hostages, including [[Cabe, Bethany|Bethany Cabe]]. As Iron Man, Stark trounced Force and his mercenaries and was able to rescue the hostages.

Unable to handle the grief and sorrow he had wreaked as Force, Wilson confided his doubt to Hammer who seemed unsympathetic. Tired of being used by Hammer, and repulsed by the man he had become, Wilson abruptly quits. In response, Hammer activates a fail-safe device, the "Safelok System", which he had secretly installed in the more recent patch of armor upgrades. Using this fail-safe, Hammer was able to trap Wilson in the armor and threatened to kill him if he broke their business arrangement.

Realizing that he had run out of options, Force turned to Iron Man to help him remove the armor and in return he testified against Hammer. While in police custody, Hammer sent his henchmen: [[MACH-IV|Beetle]], [[Whiplash (Mark Scarlotti)|Blacklash]] and the [[Blizzard (Donald Gill)|Blizzard]] to kill Wilson before he had a chance to testify. They were promptly stopped by Iron Man, [[Rhodes, James|Jim Rhodes]] and a reformed Force. Afterwards, Stark reported to the authorities that Force was accidentally killed while attempting to escape, but in reality Stark helped him to establish a new identity, giving him a job as Carl Walker at [[Barstow Electronic]].

When Stark was unable to wear the Iron Man armor after being shot, [[Stark Enterprises]] became vulnerable to corporate sabotage. One such attempt was made by the [[Roxxon Oil|Roxxon corporation]], which hired [[Fixer (Paul Norbert Ebersol)|Fixer]] to sabotage Barstow Electronics. In an attempt to repay Stark for saving his life, Force accepted Tony's offer to stand in as Iron Man. As he wasn't so experienced in using the sophisticated armor, he was unable to stop the Fixer. Eventually Stark took control of Iron Man and beat the Fixer with Wilson's help.

Still working at Barstow Electronics, a particular Pentagon contract required Wilson to be subjected to fingerprint analysis and background checks. When the government ran the prints, they discovered that Walker was actually the thought-to-be-deceased Clay Wilson. Using this information, the Defense Under Secretary blackmailed Walker into assisting him to obtain Stark technology and manipulated Walker into believing it was Stark who had actually betrayed his secret.

With this knowledge, Wilson donned the Force armor to "rescue" Stark in Iraq. Instead of rescuing Stark, Force openly attacked him believing that Stark ruined his new life by revealing his true identity. Once Wilson discovered the truth, he helped Stark out of Iraq.
