First Appearance: Thor I#426 (November, 1990)

History: (Thor I#426) - Having been trained to combat superhuman menaces-- although still lacking in full training-- Code: Blue was mobilized for their first mission when the Wrecking Crew took a hostage. Led by Lt. Marc Stone, captained by Shelley Conklin, and staffed by "Mother" Majowski, "Jock" Jackson, "Fireworks" Fielstein, "Mad-Dog" Rassitano, and "Rigger" Ruiz, Code: Blue found themselves overpowered against the Wrecking Crew, but they were able to save the hostage from them, and thus scored their first victory.

(Thor I#427) - Code: Blue engaged in a training session, with Majowski firing paint-balls at Rassitano, Rigger, Jackson and Fielstein. Stone then had them take another session-- with live ammo. Later, they set out the site of a battle between Excalibur, Thor and the Wrecking Crew.

(Thor I#428) - Code: Blue intervened during the three-way battle between Excalibur, Thor, and the Wrecking Crew. Excalibur fought Code: Blue, believing them to be aiding the Juggernaut, whom Thor had been disguised as by the Enchantress. Ultimately, Thor defeated Bulldozer, who Code: Blue took into custody, and Excalibur realized their error.

(Thor I#429) - Rassitano and Ruiz were assigned to transport Bulldozer to Kennedy Airport so that he could transferred to The Vault. Along the way, they drove through Cypress Cemetary and were attacked by the rest of the Wrecking Crew, but were saved from them by Ghost Rider.

(Deadly Foes of Spider-Man#2) - Code: Blue attempted to apprehend the Beetle and Leila Davis after they attempted to break Boomerang out of the Tombs prison, but they escaped.

(Thor I#432) - Code: Blue stormed Loki's tower as Thor confronted him to rescue Kevin Masterson from captivity. Loki sensed their arrival and unleashed living statues, but they fought their way past the creatures, and were able to rescue Kevin from Loki. After Thor slew Loki, Lt. Stone encouraged him to seek judgement for what he had done.

(Thor I#433) - As Code: Blue faced Ulik in battle, they were joined by the new Thor, Eric Masterson. Thor attempted to assist them, but his inexperience resulted in Ulik escaping Code: Blue, and the entire squad could tell they were dealing with a new Thor. After gaining his bearings, Thor was able to assist Code: Blue in defeating Ulik.

(Cloak and Dagger III#19) - Code: Blue attempted to bring down D'Spayre as he fought Cloak and Dagger, but D'Spayre cast them all aside with a wave of his hand. After Cloak and Dagger defeated D'Spayre, their friend Detective Rebecca Niles had Code: Blue assist Cloak and Dagger in bringing down a warehouse where the drug "D'Lite" was being shipped from.

(Thor I#447) - Code: Blue investigated the scene of a robbery committed by Titania. Spider-Man arrived to offer his help, but Lt. Stone drove him off.

(Thor I#448) - Code: Blue joined Spider-Man and Thor in battling the Absorbing Man and Titania at a construction site. The battle finally ended when the Absorbing Man feigned defeat, wanting only to spare Titania further carnage.

(Thor I#449) - Just as Code: Blue was cleaning up after the Absorbing Man and Titania, they learned that Uroc was breaking Ulik out of Ryker's Island. The team mobilized against them, but were badly outmatched. Majowski attempted to stop Ulik from killing Stone by ramming him with their van, but Ulik smashed the van, badly injuring Majowski. Ulik and Uroc fled when Thor arrived. After Majowski was sent away in an ambulance, Lt. Stone insisted that Thor help Code: Blue in bringing Ulik to justice.

(Thor I#450) - Thor brought Code: Blue to Asgard and they assisted in battling Kai-Ra, Glump and the Rock Trolls sent to conquer Asgard by Karnilla. After learning that Uroc and Ulik were at the Well of Eternal Tears, holding Hogun and Volstagg captive, Fandral joined them in journeying there while Thor set off to confront Heimdall. Code: Blue helped Fandral rescue his comrades, and in battle with Uroc, shattered his left hand. Lt. Stone attempted to arrest Ulik, but Ulik cast himself into the Well of Eternal Tears rather than be so humiliated. Afterward, Code: Blue was honored by the Asgardians.

(Darkhawk#23) - Code: Blue arrived during Darkhawk's battle with St. Johnny and attempted to halt St. Johnny's attack on Darkhawk, but their weapons were ineffective. After Darkhawk seemingly killed St. Johnny, they tried to arrest him, but were prevented by the arrival of Evilhawk.

Helicarrier for interrogation. Jackson had Captain Conklin put him on vacation, and joined Thunderstrike and Spider-Man in mounting a rescue operation at the Helicarrier.

(Thunderstrike#6) - With the aid Stellaris, Jackson, Spider-Man and Thunderstrike fought past S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Mandroids, while the rest of Code: Blue managed to escape their cells. Ultimately, Nick Fury arrived and allowed Code: Blue and Mary Jane to depart, but forced Code: Blue to leave the information they had gathered on Tantalus with them. Fortunately, Majowski had a back-up of his back-up disk, and led Code: Blue to Pandara's hideout, where they fought Tantalus' Peacekeepers alongside the mysterious hero Blackwulf. Although the Peacekeepers fled, Blackwulf presented them with Pandara as a prisoner.
