Fictional character biography

He is a young man who for some time went by the name of Neal Aiken. His real name is revealed to be Todd Fields.

Field's father, Dr. William Fields, was working for the organization known as HYDRA. He develops the technological suit but decides to keep it for himself. For his troubles, he is killed by the Hydra agent Crown. Hydra desires to conquer the world with the S.H.O.C. technology.

Neal Aiken bonds with the suit and swears revenge on Crown as the hero S.H.O.C.. In his various confrontations, he battles Don Fortunato, Andrea Janson and 'Hunger'. Hunger was the new name given to Crown after a violent rampage left the man dead and he was brought back.

Not only does S.H.O.C. allies himself with Spider-Man and the living vampire Morbius, he also ends up working with the mobster Hammerhead and his organization.

Aiken discovers the suit is destined to kill him and he resolves to make good use of the time he has left.

He was killed and resurrected by the villainous ninja organization the Hand as a weapon against Wolverine.

Powers and abilities

Just like Crown himself, he has the ability to channel 'negative energy' and fire energy blasts. He can manipulate his body mass, stretching it to some degree. Unlike Crown, Fields has a greater control of his costume and can revert to human form at will.
