History: Having developed the formula, and being made to inject it into himself, Caldwell became Crusher. Immensly strong, practically invulnerable, and physically changed, Crusher became an asset that Fidel Castro sent to kill Iron Man.  Crusher was smuggled into the U.S. by Castro's spies, and taken to Stark Industries. There, he attacked Iron Man, but it was the same day that Tony Stark had finished his new Centrifugal Ray that affected the gravity around a specific target. Iron Man used the ray on Crusher and his mass grewto such that he fell through the floor and deep underground.

Eventually the rays effects wore off as did his Crusher formula, reverting him back to normal, but not before Crusher had fallen into an Subterranea, where he discovered an abandoned base (formerly belonging to Tyrannus). There he searched about and discovered a laboratory with enough equipment to reconstruct his serum. Lost as to his way back, he began digging up through the earth to the surface and using his Directional Homing Unit made his way back to some of Castro's spies hideouts.

He then made them take him back to Stark Industries and again fought Iron Man. This time, however, Crusher took a woman named, Whitney Frost, hostage and used her as leverage to make Iron Man turn over the Centrifugal Ray to him. Crusher's fingers were too big to manipulate the device properly as he tried to use it on Iron Man and he accidentally overloaded it. While distracted Iron Man tackled him and lifted him into the air and off over the ocean, dropping him in. Unfortunately for Crusher, he was now so heavy he sank and drowned.

Abilities and Accessories:

Caldwell had no special abilities before he developed and injected the Crusher formula.

When the Crusher Foruma is injected into an individual it bestows all the Powers and modifications as listed under Crusher Power.

Crusher Power:-

• Saving Thows: Hitting becomes 20, Mystic +5, Poison and Paralyse +10.
• Senses: Unchanged.
• STR/STA/DEX Increase: DEX Rating = 60, STA Rating = 90, STR Rating = 90.
  
• Body Resistance Physical: Resistance = 1,000B, WLR = 5.
  
• Weakness Stimulus: The serum has a finite period of activity before it is consumed in sufficient quantities to wear off. After 48 hours of normal (or no) activity, or 12 hours of high-activity  the serum wears off.
• Weakness Effect: Once the Weakness Stimulus has been reached Power Negation takes effect. This results in a return to physical form of the user, and a loss of all super-powers and effects gained. The individual does not seem overly exhausted by any activity, while the Power was in effect, afterwards.
