Powers/Abilities: Majowski is a brilliant computer technician, an expert at hacking into other computers, even those of SHIELD's. Majowski also monitors all communications from Code: Blue's van, speaking to them through their headsets, and he often locates altercations involving super-villains for the team to take up arms against. The van contains infra-red scanning equipment which Majowski has used to locate Code: Blue's enemies. He has also piloted Code: Blue's helicopter. Although Majowski is crippled from the waist down, he has occasionally joined the team in combat, wielding police firearms.

History: (Thor I#426)- Majowski joined Code: Blue for their first mission, nicknamed "Mother" because of his paternal interest in the team's welfare-- although he was not above betting on the odds of whether they would survive their first mission or not. Majowski monitored Code: Blue during their hostage rescue from the Wrecking Crew, and used his infra-red equipment to help them pinpoint their targets.

(Thor I#427)- Majowski fired paint-balls at the rest of Code: Blue as they trained on the firing range. Later, Majowski piloted Code: Blue to the site of a battle between Excalibur, Thor and the Wrecking Crew.

(Thor I#432)- Majowski monitored Code: Blue from his van as they confronted Loki, and warned them of the arrival of Loki's living statues.

(Thor I#448)- Majowski joined Code: Blue as they set off against the Absorbing Man and Titania, monitoring their battle from his van.

(Thor I#449)- Just as Code: Blue was cleaning up after the Absorbing Man and Titania, Majowski received word that Uroc was breaking Ulik out of Ryker's Island. Code: Blue went into battle against the two creatures, but Majowski could tell they were outmatched, and sent a call to the Avengers, to request Thor's aid. When Ulik seemed to be about to kill Lt. Stone, Majowski drove the van at him as a weapon to save him, but Ulik smashed the van with his fist, gravely wounding Majowski. Ulik and Uroc fled with Thor's arrival, and Majowski was sent to a hospital.

(Marvel Comics Presents#112/4)- Majowski drove Code: Blue into battle against the Demogoblin at Riverside Park, and made the first attack, firing a titanium steel net at him. Although the Demogoblin cast the net aside easily, the rest of Code: Blue were able to defeat him.

(Thor I#456)- Majowski monitored Code: Blue during their battle against Bloodaxe, and warned them when Bloodaxe built up for an energy-based attack. Ultimately, Bloodaxe was defeated by the combined powers of Code: Blue, Earth Force (Earth Lord, Skyhawk, Wind Warrior) and Dr. Strange.

(Darkhawk#23)- Majowski monitored Code: Blue's battle against St. Johnny and Darkhawk from their van.

(Web of Spider-Man Annual#9)- Majowski piloted Code: Blue's helicopter into battle against the Cadre, so that Rassitano could shoot at the Cadre from the sky. The helicopter was wrecked by the Cadre member Vortex, but Rassitano and Majowski were saved by Spider-Man.

(Spider-Man Unlimited I#1/3)- Majowski piloted Code: Blue's helicopter into battle alongside Code: Blue against Cardiac, to prevent him from killing white-collar criminal Steven Polk. When Cardiac knocked steel girders from a construction site, Majowski buzzed the police officers on the ground so that they would know to get out of the way in time. They managed to save Polk's life, but Cardiac escaped.

(Thunderstrike#1)- Majowski monitored Code: Blue during their battle against Carjack, and later encountered Thunderstrike (the new Thor) after his battle with Bloodaxe.

(Thunderstrike#3)- Majowski assisted in the investigation into a child pornography ring whose members were being targeted by the vigilante Sangre. Thanks to Majowski's work, Code: Blue was able to apprehend Armand Pelps, a member of the ring.

(Thunderstrike#5)- Investigating the killer Pandara, Majowski hacked into the National Crime Network, accessing files sealed by S.H.I.E.L.D. This brought a squad of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents down upon the precinct, and Majowski joined Code: Blue and their witness Mary Jane Watson-Parker in being taken prisoner in the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier.

(Thunderstrike#6)- As Code: Blue made a break-out from the Helicarrier, Majowski took care of Mary Jane. They were finally allowed to depart by Nick Fury, but Dum-Dum Dugan took custody of the CD Majowski had made of the information on Tantalus, and the back-up as well. However, Majowski had a second back-up CD, and used the information to set Code: Blue on Pandara's trail. He monitored them, Thunderstrike and Stellaris from the van as they battled the Peacekeepers, and ultimately took Pandara captive.

(Thunderstrike#7)- After Pandara was freed from her cell, she unleashed her demons upon the precinct, and Majowski took up arms to aid Code: Blue against the creatures. During the battle, "Jock" Jackson lost his life.

(Thunderstrike#8)- Majowski monitored Code: Blue from the van with Thomas Rizzo as they field tested Rizzo's robot Officer Z.E.R.O. When Z.E.R.O. attacked Code: Blue, Majowski blamed Rizzo, and eventually made him see that his own subconscious hatred of police officers had been fed into Z.E.R.O. He told Rizzo to shut Z.E.R.O. down, but the only way to do so would be for Rizzo's brain to cease functioning-- so he blew his own head off. Majowski joined Code: Blue afterwards in reflecting upon Rizzo's sacrifice.

(New Warriors Annual#4)- Majowski monitored Code: Blue and the mayor of New York from his van as they intervened in the confrontation between Psionex and the New Warriors.

(Thunderstrike#13/2)- Majowski monitored Code: Blue during their battle against a malfunctioning Doombot, and provided "Lugwrench" Lubowski of the Yancy Street Gang with the information he needed to defuse the Doombot after Fielstein damaged it with explosives.

(Thunderstrike#14/2)- During Code: Blue's battle with the Wrecker, Majowski was able to determine that the Wrecker was not fully tied to Earth's realm, and that he would be cast back into the dimension he had escaped from should he loose concentration. Code: Blue was able to exploit this information by having the Wrecker confront his father.

(Thunderstrike#15/2)- Majowski monitored Code: Blue during their battle with the Thermal Man, and supplied them with adamantium wire from Stark Enterprises to slice the robot into pieces.

(Thunderstrike#16/2)- As Code: Blue battled Kronin Krask, Majowski brought in Code: Gray, a team of specialists from the financial world. Majowski assisted them in battling Krask within cyberspace, and had Krask sealed within a CD.

(Thunderstrike#22)- Majowski joined Code: Blue at the scene of a battle between Thunderstrike, Bloodaxe, Quicksand and Mongoose, again monitoring the team from his van.
