First Appearance: Uncanny X-Men I#215 (March, 1987)
Powers/Abilities: Crimson Commando's mutant
abilities kept his body in peak human condition. A minor healing factor
greatly retarded his aging and enhanced senses made him keenly aware of
his surroundings. The Commando was trained to free his mind of all
thought while his body continued to act, making him hard to detect or
influence by telepaths. An excellent tracker, the Commando is an expert
hand-to-hand combatant, trained in numerous fighting styles. He wields a
variety of knives and (laser) guns with expert ease. As a cyborg, most
of his body including both legs were replaced with limbs of a durable,
unrevealed alloy. Thanks to his robotic legs, he could scale buildings
and leap great distances. The Commando's right eye was replaced with an
artificial implant that contained unknown scanning equipment, his right
arm was fused together with an advanced energy blaster of unknown make.
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 235 lbs.
Eyes: White
Hair: White
History:
(Uncanny X-Men I#215 (fb) - BTS) - Frank Bohannon grew up unaware
he was a mutant until he joined the United States army at the start of
World War II. During the war years, he ran across fellow mutant soldiers
Martin Fletcher and Louis Hamilton. Deciding to become superheroes to
fight the Nazis, Bohannan became known as Crimson Commando while his
compatriots adopted the names Super Sabre and Stonewall.
(Uncanny X-Men I#215 (fb) - BTS) - After World War II,
Bohannan and his two allies returned to the United States. Not ready to
give up their costumed identities, they spent most of the 1940s active
in their hometowns rooting out crooks, lowlifes and other undesirables.
(Uncanny X-Men I#215 (fb) - BTS) - Before they could turn
their attention to the growing communist threat, Bohannan and the others
were approached by government officials who asked them to stand down
lest their clandestine actions spark a new global, possibly nuclear
conflict. The fiercely patriotic Martin agreed to an early retirement.
(Uncanny X-Men I#215 (fb) - BTS) - Bohannan spent most of his time
working as a big game hunter. He kept a house in upstate New York,
nestled in the woods near the Adirondacks. Designed like a hunting
lodge, Bohannan adorned his home with the many memorabilia of his
exploits. From WW II souvenirs to hunting trophies as well as an array
of blades and firearms.
(Uncanny X-Men I#215 (fb) - BTS) - As the decades rolled by, Bohannan
and his allies stood idly by as they watched society change. Lamenting
the seeming loss of morality, standards and respect for tradition they
decided to return to active duty and take matters in their own hands as
vigilantes.
(Uncanny X-Men I#216 (fb) - BTS) - The trio specifically targeted
killers, rapists, drug dealers and other 'scum' who managed to place
themselves beyond the reach of the law.
(Uncanny X-Men I#215 (fb) - BTS) - Operating from the
Crimson Commando's home in Upstate New York, they sought out and
kidnapped people they perceived to be criminals. Keeping them locked up in Bohannan's basement, the trio
would offer their prisoners a long shot at salvation: they were free
to try and escape and even allowed a sizeable head start before the
former heroes would come after them. These hunts always ended quickly,
with none of their victims surviving.
(Uncanny X-Men I#215 - BTS) - Frank and the others would frequently be
on the lookout for evildoers. As a result, they captured Priscilla
Morrison and her boyfriend Tommy, who were dealing drugs. When they came
across Storm who was knocked out near Sara Grey's burned out home, they
mistook her for a looter and took her prisoner too.
(Uncanny X-Men I#215 - BTS) - Crimson Commando, Super Sabre and
Stonewall tracked down Tommy in the woods. The hunt ended with his
death.
(Uncanny X-Men I#215) - Returning from their death hunt, they were
surprised to find Storm had managed to break free (using the
lockpicks the trio had failed to find when they searched her).
Storm managed to hold her own against Crimson Commando, who compared her
fighting skills to the World War II heroine Yankee Clipper. Ultimately,
she was no match for Super Sabre who subjected her to his trademark Mach
One Punch and effortlessly knocked her out with a snap of his fingers
that generated a microsonic boom. When Storm came to, Super Sabre and
the others explained their origins to Storm and Priscilla before sending
them off into the woods. They gave the pair until sunset to try and get
out of the forest.
(Uncanny X-Men I#216) - While Super Sabre was scouring the woods,
Stonewall and the Commando discovered a trap Ororo had set for the
speedster that would have cut his head off had she triggered it. This
made Stonewall question their mission: was Storm even a criminal? But
the Commando insisted they pressed on, letting her go would alert the
authorities. He then sensed Sabre's imminent return, ordering Stonewall
to block his path lest he accidentally wound up triggering Storm's trap.
Sabre agreed with the Commando that Storm shouldn't be allowed to go
free. He didn't back down, giving chase and reaching the edge of the
forest where he planned to wait for Storm and Priscilla.
(Uncanny X-Men I#216 - BTS) - Despite his enhanced reflexes, Sabre
failed to notice Storm was lying in wait for him. She jumped the
speedster, causing them both to fall off a nearby ridge. They were
unable to dodge the avalanche Priscilla purposefully started and were
buried under the rock. Both Storm and Super Sabre survived, but the
rockslide separated hem.
(Uncanny X-Men I#216) - Alerted by the rockslide, the Commando and
Stonewall dug for nearly half an hour before finding Sabre's bloodied
helmet and Storm's jacket. Believing them both dead, they were caught
unawares by Storm who managed to surprise Stonewall once more, getting
the jump on him and launching him into a nearby mudpit that turned out
to be quicksand. Unwilling to let her opponent die, Storm risked her
life to get Hamilton to safety. Moments later, Wolverine arrived to even
the score. Logan kept Stonewall at bay while Storm faced the Commando in
a duel. After fighting him him to the ground, he and Stonewall agreed to
face justice and were escorted to the nearest police station by Storm
and Wolverine.
(Uncanny X-Men I#223 (fb) - BTS) - Still unaware Super Sabre had
survived, Crimson Commando and Stonewall were sentenced to serve a term
in prison. There, they were approached with the offer to have their
sentence commuted if they agreed to join Freedom Force. The heroes
agreed and were transferred to Washington D.C.
(Uncanny X-Men I#223) - Valerie Cooper introduced Stonewall and the
Commando to their new teammates. Mystique scoffed, calling them 'a pair
of over-the-hill, second-strong retread WW II 'heroes'. Commando tried
to act cool and suave, but was startled when Pyro turned the flame of
his lighter into a flaming manservant. Their introductions were cut
short by the arrival of Super Sabre who had come to Washington D.C. to
either free his friends or join up.
(Uncanny X-Men I#225) -
The Commando, Stonewall and Super Sabre were full-fledged members of
Freedom Force by the time they were sent to Dallas to apprehend the
X-Men. Ambushing them at night, Super Sabre joined his teammates
on a mission to Dallas to apprehend the X-Men at night. The X-Men's
telepath Psylocke gave FF a run for their money, fooling them with
illusions until the Commando managed to sneak up on her to take out
Betsy Braddock with a karate chop. The fight ended when the X-Men took
Mystique hostage inside Eagle Plaza. This prompted Destiny to have a
vision: anyone inside Eagle Plaza when dawn breaks would die. Moments
later, the sky opened and sunlight poured out over the Dallas
skyscraper.
(Uncanny X-Men I#226) - Commando and the others stood by,
watching over the captured X-Men Dazzler, Psylocke and Rogue who tried
to make their escape. During the fight, the city of Dallas fell into
chaos due to reality shifts (caused by the Adversary). Agreeing to a
truce, the X-Men and Freedom Force worked together to keep innocent
people safe. The Commando and Stonewall worked to help evacuate downtown
Dallas, leading a caravan of civilians away from the fighting. On their
way, they were met by an approaching Cheyenne war party who had come to
Dallas to help Forge fight the Adversary. The Commando was in the
process of opening a friendly dialogue with the Cheyenne until the chief
and his tribesmen were gunned down by Texans, influenced by the
Adversary. The Commando lamented their loss to Stonewall, but neither
one of them could do anything. Later, they also were unable to prevent
the rise of the Adversary and the subsequent sacrifice of the X-Men
before Eagle Plaza exploded.
(Uncanny X-Men I#227) - Crimson Commando, along with the other members
of Freedom Force and millions of people worldwide, watched Neal Conan's
report on the X-Men's final stand against the Adversary. The mutants
seemingly sacrificed their lives to offer Forge the energy of their
souls which he used to beat back the ancient demon. When Forge returned
with Neal Conan, he was cursed out by Mystique for killing her daughter
Rogue.
(New Mutants I#65)
Warned by Destiny of their imminent arrival, Freedom Force was ready to
deal with Magik and the New Mutants who teleported to Dallas to have
their revenge on Forge for killing Colossus and the other X-Men. Crimson
Commando successfully took on both Mirage and Sunspot before Super Sabre
knocked out Magik herself with one of his sonic booms. Acting on
Destiny's counsel, Freedom Force didn't kill or arrest the New Mutants
for their actions, because it would hasten the impending invasion of
S'ym and limbo's techno-organic demons.
(X-Factor I#30) - Having witnessed the events in Dallas
that claimed the life of Madelyne Pryor, X-Factor members Cyclops and
Jean Grey rushed out to Dallas to find Freedom Force. They were the last
people to have seen Madelyne alive and hoped they might have heard where
her missing son baby Nathan could be. Freedom Force was prepared for
them thanks to Destiny who warned them of Cyclops' violent intent.
However, Cyclops and Jean were quickly overpowered, with the Commando
holding a gun to Jean's head. They were placed under arrest for not
obeying the mutant registration act.
(X-Factor I#31) - Cyclops blasted the gun from the Commando's hand,
while Jean telekinetically kept his teammates at bay. Angered by FF's
continued refusal to reveal anything about his son, Cyclops used his
eyebeams to pierce the Blob's skin. As Fred Dukes cried out in pain,
Destiny stepped in and revealed as much as she could ascertain about the
boy's situation. Assuring them the child was indeed alive, the seer told
the two heroes their destiny lay in New York.
(X-Factor I#33) - After X-Factor had caught and defeated
the escaped members of the Alliance of Evil, they were forced to let
Crimson Commando and the other members of Freedom Force take their
fellow mutants into custody.
(Captain American I#346) - Freedom Force and Battlestar
were ordered to go after the mutant terrorists known as the Resistants.
Planning to lure the team to them by holding a mock trial for renowned
mutant terrorist Quicksilver (Mystique in disguise), Freedom
Force members acted as judge and jury. After the mock trial entered its
fourth day, the Resistants finally showed up, but their newest member,
the telepathic Think Tank (Marvin Flumm) picked up the deception before
they made their presence known. Destiny's future-sight told her they'd
been found out and she yelled in court, warning Super Sabre and the
others of an approaching meteor hurled at the courtroom courtesy of
Resistants member Meteorite. Thanks to Destiny's head's up, Freedom
Force kept everyone safe while Captain America (John Walker)
singlehandedly took on the Resistants.
(New Mutants I#78) - Ordered to
bring in Rusty Collins after he nearly torched Manhattan, Freedom Force
tracked him down along with the New Mutants over New York. Forcing a
confrontation on Liberty Island, Super Sabre's initially succeeded in
knocking out Collins. However, the mission turned into a bust when
Danielle Moonstar's fire magic activated itself before she could be
treated, forcing the unseen but present specter of Doctor Strange to
immediately teleport the New Mutants to Asgard leaving behind a
dumbstruck Freedom Force without explanation.
(New Mutants I#80) - Left on Earth after the New Mutants were whisked
away, Rusty Collins and Skids defended themselves against Freedom
Force's attempts to arrest them by hiding under Skids' impenetrable
forcefield. In the end, the Commando used a laser rifle to blast away
the concrete surrounding Skids' field, so they could take it all into
custody.
(Marvel Comics Presents I#86/2 - BTS) - Crimson Commando and the other
members of Freedom Force were unable to prevent Mystique from being
captured by Firestar.
(New Mutants I#86) -
Crimson Commando took Blob and Pyro with him to take the recently
escaped Rusty Collins and Skids back into custody. Though the two
teenagers had risked their lives stopping the supervillains Nitro and
Vulture, which left Skids seriously injured, the Commando told reporters
they were dangerous criminals who'd say anything to seem innocent.
(Uncanny X-Men I#255 - BTS) - Crimson Commando, Super Sabre and Spiral
were off on a separate mission when Mystique and the other members of
Freedom Force were ordered to Muir Island to help defend against the
attacking Reavers.
(New Mutants I#87 - BTS) - Stuck inside the prison hospital, Skids and
Rusty listened to the Commando give a television interview in which he
commented on Freedom Force's recent losses in their brave fight against
evil mutants. His pompous blustering irked the two teens to no end.
(Incredible Hulk II#369 (fb) ) - In the wake of the Muir Island tragedy
that left Stonewall and Destiny dead and Avalanche seriously injured,
Crimson Commando expected Freedom Force to fold. However, Mystique made
sure the team kept going by sending them to South Carolina on a search
for the Hulk.
(Incredible Hulk II#369) - En route to South Carolina, the Crimson
Commando quietly lamented about the way his life was going. After all
this time, all the fighting he had done seemed pointless. They caught up
with Banner just as he was leaving the house of Charles and Margaret
Lassiter and their son Jack. When the Commando was unable to knock
Banner out before he could turn into the Hulk, Bohannan kept out of the
fight figuring it would be like Woody Allen trying to beat Mike Tyson.
The Commando proved instrumental when the Lassiter's home was wrecked in
the altercation, leaving Jack trapped under the rubble. While Hulk
cleared the debris, Commando stabilized the boy so he could be
transported to the hospital. As a thank you, Hulk knocked Bohannan out
before leaping away with Jack.
(New Mutants I#88) - Crimson Commando tried to convince the recently
captured Cable to tell Freedom Force of the connection Rusty Collins and
Skids had to the Mutant Liberation Front. Bohannan was unable to get
Cable to talk. Later that day, they were confronted by X-Factor who
wanted their wards Rusty and Skids returned to them. This put FF in a
pickle: admitting they were taken from them by the MLF would reveal a
weakness in their organization. Shortly thereafter Freedom Force tried
to stop Cable from escaping their facility. Mystique ordered the
Commando to chase Cable down.
(New Mutants I#89) -
Crimson Commando and Freedom Force boarded a helicopter to follow the
whirlybird Cable had stolen. Cable headed for X-Factor's Ship in New
York and managed to shoot FF's craft down, causing them to crash in the
East River. Surviving the crash, Freedom Force split up but failed to
capture Cable before he accidentally ran into the New Mutants who were
also looking for Rusty Collins. Crimson Commando fought Cannonball,
Sunspot and Boom-Boom before the teens joined forces with Cable, forcing
the Commando and FF to retreat.
(Avengers: Deathtrap - The Vault) - Following a break out
situation at The Vault, the government sent in Freedom Force to restore
order. Meeting up with Vault warden Truman Marsh, the Commando and the
others were shown a utility shaft they could use to tunnel into the
facility. Avalanche used his powers to lead the way with Super Sabre
rapidly shoving the dirt aside. After a brief altercation with Hydroman,
Wrecker, Grey Gargoyle and the U-Foes' Ironclad and X-Ray, Freedom Force
joined the newly arrived Avengers to put an end to the jailbreak.
Crimson Commando proved instrumental in this endeavor when he managed to
sneak up on the telepath Mentallo who was riling up the inmates. With
him out of the picture, the heroes soon gained the upper hand. A little
later, they also halted the self destruct sequence set by Marsh.
(New Mutants Annual I#7/2) - On January 14, Crimson Commando was sent to
Kuwait along with Avalanche, Blob, Pyro and Super Sabre. Their mission
was to locate German physicist Reinhold Kurtzmann and transfer him
safely to the allied forces without the Iraqi army getting to him.
Reaching Reinhold's safe house in Kuwait City. The Commando led the
mission, sending Super Sabre ahead on a rapid reconnaissance run of the
place. The aging speedster fell prey to the Iraqi superteam Desert Sword
who decapitated him and would moments later also slice off the
Commando's right arm before revealing they already had Kurtzmann.
(Uncanny X-Men Annual I#15/2) - In the opening moments of
the fight against Desert Sword, Kurtzmann fell into the hands of Freedom
Force. Injured but still functioning, the Commando ordered his team to
retreat to the airport. He and Avalanche got separated from Pyro, Blob
and Kurtzmann. On the way back to the dropzone, Pyro was forced to kill
Kurtzmann, a fact the Commando and Avalanche were oblivious to. When
they reached the airfield, they hit some of the concealed landmines that
were spread out by Desert Sword sympathizers. As they lay wounded and
unconscious, Desert Sword members Sirocco and Aminedi swooped in for the
kill.
(X-Factor Annual I#6/2) - Avalanche managed to trap Sirocco and Aminedi
with his powers and was ready to evacuate when he noticed the mortally
wounded Commando pleading to not leave him behind. Avalanche took
Bohannan with him as he dashed towards the evac helicopters where he
received urgent medical care. As the chopper lifted, Avalanche made a
command decision to leave Pyro and Blob behind in Kuwait.
(X-Men Annual II#2 (fb) - BTS) - Returning to the United States,
doctors managed to save what was left of Bohannan's body by augmenting
it with cybernetic parts. His legs, right arm and eye were replaced. Now
calling himself 'Commando', he and Avalanche were transferred to the
authority of Project: Wideawake following the dissolution of Freedom
Force.
(X-Men Annual II#2) - Commando and Avalanche were sent to Jonathan
Chamber's private island after reports came in the mysterious man had
set up a refuge there for mutants, including the new Brotherhood of
Mutants Empyrean's island to investigate the mysterious mutant's
activities. There, they ran afoul of Blob, Pyro, Phantazia and Toad, as
well as the X-Men who had also arrived to see what was going on. During
the inevitable fight, Commando faced Gambit before it was revealed
Chambers had actually set up the island as a leper colony for mutants
dying from the Legacy Virus. He could feed off their excess mutant
energies, a side effect of the virus, while relieving their pain in
return. When it was revealed their old friend Pyro was suffering from
the deadly illness, Commando and Avalanche opted to stay with Chambers
who had now taken the name Empyrean.
(X-Men: Time-Gliders#1-4) - Now a
member of the Brotherhood and loyal to Empyrean, the Commando joined in
on a convoluted scheme to steal a Time-Glider, a recent discovery by
Hank McCoy that allowed time travel. Empyrean wanted the device to
unleash the Legacy Virus in the past so he could have more victims to
drain. In the end, the Commando was unable to prevent Empyrean from
getting stuck in the primordial past.
(X-Factor I#102 - BTS) - Following the disappearance of Empyrean, the
Commando and Avalanche left Toad's Brotherhood and returned to their old
job as operatives for Project: Wideawake and the US defense department.
(X-Factor I#102) - Commando joined Avalanche on a mission
with government agent Malone. They were tasked to convince Polaris to
stop investigating the Polaris Protocols, but this led to an altercation
with Polaris and her allies Forge and Random. Commando faced Random who
couldn't lock in on his cybernetic nature, leaving the mutant mercenary
vulnerable. The fight ended when Malone committed suicide and his
employer Beatrice Connors (secretly controlled by the entity Malice)
arrived to take charge of the situation. After a brief explanation, she
took Commando and Avalanche with her.
(New Avengers I#16 (fb) - BTS) - When the mentally
unstable Scarlet Witch erased the mutant gene in most of the worlds'
mutants, the Commando was one of the many mutants who found himself
depowered.
(Uncanny X-Men I#539 (fb) - BTS) -
Without the benefits of his mutant healing factor and retarded aging,
the Commando's cybernetic components were slowly tearing him apart from
the inside. Bohannan quietly grew desperate.
(Uncanny X-Men I#539 - BTS) - Learning of the existence of Hope Summers,
a young gene positive mutant who can restore the abilities of others,
the Commando hatched a desperate plan to force her to activate his
abilities again.
(Uncanny X-Men I#539) - The Commando had Hope kidnapped while she was on
a day trip to San Francisco and brought before him. She refused to use
her 'magic touch' to save him, leading him to hold her hostage.
Unbeknownst to the Commando, Wolverine had already tracked them down. He
managed to sneak in and rescue Hope. The Commando and his forces caught
up with them during their escape Gunning Wolverine down and burning him
with napalm, the Commando proceeded to beat and bloody Hope to force her
to cooperate. However, Hope survived by synchronizing with Wolverine's
healing factor. Surprised his victim was healing already, it left the
Commando open to Wolverine's lethal strike.
Comments: Created by Chris Claremont, Alan Davis,
Dan Green.
So how can a man who fought in World War II still be
active in the modern era? It isn't until his final appearance (to date)
that we learn the Commando has a mutant healing factor that retards his
aging. According to Bohannan, he could have lived to be 200, even with
the cybernetic implants he was fitted with.
Since the Commando never received an official Handbook profile, the
exact nature of his mutant powers remains unclear. Even his ability to
shut down his active mind is a learned technique. Next to the healing
factor, that leaves him with enhanced strength, speed, endurance and
reflexes. He's basically Captain America without having taken the
supersoldier formula.
The 90s were not kind to poor ol' Frank Bohannan though.
From an elder statesman of the superhero set to a cyborg with big guns,
pouches and oneliners even Clint Eastwood would think were a little
much. Que sera, sera.
How he decided on the code name 'Crimson Commando' is also never
explained. Red looks good on him and he's certainly a commando, but the
name wouldn't have gone over well had he stuck around to fight
communists in the 50s.
It's been suggested the Commando is also Cyborg X, first seen in
Spider-Man I#18. However, since that Erik Larsen creation
seemingly died three issues later, a year before Bohannan's debut as a
cyborg, I've omitted those appearances from his profile until official
Crimson Commando received Handbook profiles in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Update '89 I#2 (August, 1989) and the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Master Edition I#22 (September, 1992). Crimson Commando was also in the Gamer's Handbook of the Marvel Universe Volume 5 1989 Character Update but uses the same image as in his 1989 profile.
Profile by Norvo.
CLARIFICATIONS:
Crimson Commando should not be confused with:
The Commando's home in the woods of the Adirondacks was
spacious enough to accommodate himself and his two associates. The place
was decorated with souvenirs from his many adventures including tattered
Nazi flags, bear skins, mounted animal heads and a variety of weapons.
Bohannan's home had a basement with multiple cells outfitted with
manacles to hold the criminals he would capture and hunt to death. The
chains and locks proved no real challenge for a skilled lockpick like
Storm.
