• Body Armor: Incredible protection against physical and energy attacks.
• Computer Interface: Hodge can directly access computers by using his cyborg body. This grants him Remarkable ability to access and receive computer information.
• Phasing: A mechanical unit is attached on the back of his body, which enables him to phase at the Excellent rank.
• Regeneration/Self-Repair Circuits: Hodge’s mechanical body restores 40 points of Health to his cyborg body every minute, or 4 points per round. It is unknown whether this ability allows Hodge to regenerate lost Health if his head is removed from his body or not.

• Bolas: Excellent strength Grappling attack. The bolas that Hodge uses are made out of Remarkable Material Strength metals.
• Laser Blasters: Hodge’s body contains laser batteries that inflict Remarkable energy damage upon their victims.
• Legs: Hodge’s body has eight spider-like legs, each able to inflict Excellent edged damage.
• Molecular Adhesive: Hodge can spray this substance on his opponents in a one-area range. The stuff adheres to the victims, acting as a Remarkable Grappling attack, and negating any standard missile at tacks (such as Archangel’s neural disrupter feathers).
• Saw Blade: Contained in his body is a circular saw blade that can attack anyone within a one-area range and deals Excellent edged damage.
• Scorpion Tail: Hodge’s enormous cybernetic tail can pin down opponents with Remarkable strength, which counts as a Grappling attack, and inflicts Incredible puncturing/edged damage with its pointed tip.
• Spikes: Spikes are thrown from the mountings on Hodge’s underside, causing Good edged damage (on the Throwing Edge column).
• Tentacles: Hodge’s primary attack uses of Remarkable Material Strength, which are able to Entangle up to two targets with Remarkable strength. Hodge's tentacles can stretch up areas away by using a Monstrous Elongation power.

Hodge became a lawyer, but then turned to advertising and public relations and became a highly successful member of a leading New York advertising agency. Meanwhile, he secretly created an organization devoted to the destruction of all mutants, the Right. Hodge was the leader of the group and was known as the Commander.

Worthington, still believing that Hodge was his friend, turned to him to help with come up with a way to combat the growing prejudice against mutants. They came up with the group, X-Factor. The original members of the X-Men, the Beast, Cyclops, Marvel Girl, and lceman agreed to join the group. X-Factor’s concept, a group of supposed mutant hunters who would in fact make contact with mutants and train them in the use of their powers, quickly backfired on the group. It actually intensified people’s hatred of mutants, just as Hodge had planned.

The first physical display the Right committed was the kidnapping of Rictor from his native Mexico, where he was responsible for a devastating earthquake. The Right brought him to San Francisco, where they hooked him up to an elaborate device that would amplify his powers. The plan was to force Rictor to cause an earth quake at the San Andreas fault to cause catastrophic damage to California. The Right believed that when the public found out that a mutant had caused all the destruction that it would further discredit mutants in the eyes of the public, but X-Factor foiled their scheme.

Hodge contacted a genetic engineer, Dr. Frederick Animus, who later became known as the Ani-Mator, and commissioned him to find a way to prevent mutations from occurring. Instead, Animus defied his employer’s orders and created creatures with combined characters of humans and animals, which he called his “Ani-Mates.” Animus planned to use these creations as a slave race for mankind, but one of his Ani-Mates, Bird-Brain, escaped and was befriended by the New Mutants. They accompanied Bird-Brain back to the island where Animus had conducted his experiments. There they were captured by the creatures they had intended to free.

The New Mutants subsequently escaped only to be recaptured by members of the Right, including Hodge. The Right had arrived on the scene to discipline the defiant Animus. Bird-Brain and other Ani-Mates rescued the New Mutants and battled the Right. In the combat, the New Mutant called Cypher was killed. Infuriated, another New Mutant, Magik, exiled Animus and all the involved members of the Right to the dimension Limbo. Hodge narrowly escaped that fate and, because of this incident, rededicated the cause of the Right to destroy mutants, not to contain and discredit them.

The Angel’s wings were damaged in a fight with the Marauders, and Hodge arranged to have the damaged wings amputated. Then, he convinced Warren Worthington to change his will, to give most of his fortune to X-Factor if he were to die, with Hodge as the executor of the estate. Soon after, Worthington seemingly committed suicide in an airplane that exploded; Hodge controlled the Worthington fortune.

By now, the other members of X Factor had realized that Hodge was their enemy. They engaged the Right in a battle and learned that Hodge was actually the leader of the group.

Cameron Hodge made a pact with the demon N’Astirh. He would provide it with mutant babies and Hodge was told that he would not die in his next battle with the mutants.

Warren Worthington’s fiancée, Candy Southern, was kidnapped and Hodge killed her to get back at Worthington. Also in that battle, Angel beheaded Hodge in a rage.

Cameron Hodge surfaced again on the island of Genosha. Apparently, the promise from the demon gave him immortality. His head had survived the battle with the Angel, and it was now attached to the form of a large mechanical spider with a myriad of mechanical powers. He instigated the X-Tinction Agenda in order to lure all the mutants from the X-Men, X-Factor, and New Mutant teams to Genosha, where he would be able either to subjugate or kill all of them. His plan succeeded in luring them all to his island, but instead of a triumph, it was his greatest disaster.

His first captives were Storm, Boom-Boom, Wolfsbane, and Warlock. He attempted to siphon off Warlock’s shapeshifting power so he could change his spider-form at will. Wolfsbane foiled that plan, but Warlock died anyway.

Then the rest of the mutants began arriving on the island to rescue their captured comrades. It became apparent to the government of Genosha as well as to the mutants that Hodge was planning to take over the island and use it as his base for the extermination of all mutants.

Hodge’s body was destroyed by the brothers Cyclops and Havok. The body parts, his severed head included, were buried during the collapse of a skyscraper. Whether the villainous Cameron Hodge survived has yet to be determined. Regardless of his current state, Hodge’s head is immobilized under the remains of the Genoshan Citadel. Unless some outside force helps him, Commander Hodge is trapped for the foreseeable future.
