Cameron Hodge
Cameron Hodge is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, usually as an adversary in stories featuring the X-Men. Created by writer Bob Layton and artist Jackson Guice, he first appeared as a supporting character in X-Factor #1 (February 1986),
The original volume of X-Factor was a spinoff of The Uncanny X-Men featuring an eponymous team composed of the original five members of the X-Men, which was conceived by Hodge, the former college roommate of founding member Warren Worthington, and who served as its public relations agent. Later, under writer Louise Simonson, Hodge was revealed to be secretly acting against X-Factor as the leader of the anti-mutant terrorist organization known as The Right. He is decapitated in a confrontation with Worthington, but his head is later revealed to have been attached to a large robotic body during the 1990 "X-Tinction Agenda". The character is later revealed in a 1993 storyline to have merged with the extraterrestrial cybernetic race known as the Phalanx.
Cameron Hodge first appeared in X-Factor #1 (February 1986), and was created by Bob Layton and Jackson Guice. The book was a spinoff of The Uncanny X-Men featuring an eponymnous team composed of the original five members of the X-Men, which was conceived by Hodge, the former college roommate of founding member Warren Worthington III (aka Angel), and who served as its public relations agent. Under Hodge's plan, the five mutants would pose as professional mutant hunters under the name X-Factor. They would use this cover to contact and teach young mutants.
Later, under writer Louise Simonson, Hodge was revealed to be secretly acting against X-Factor. The company's advertising campaign actually increased anti-mutant hysteria. In addition, the team suffered a series of major setbacks. After suffering severe injuries during the Mutant Massacre, Angel has his wings amputated, and then seemingly dies in a private jet explosion. Tensions arose between X-Factor members Cyclops and Marvel Girl when Cyclops saw manifestations of the Phoenix around Jean Grey. X-Factor later discovered that Hodge had orchestrated Angel's amputation and plane accident and had created holograms simulating the Phoenix Force. They too discover that Hodge had secretly been the Commander of an anti-mutant terrorist group known as The Right. He had fully intended to exacerbate anti-mutant tensions through his advertising campaign.
Hodge and The Right had made a pact with the extradimensional demonic entity N'astirh. In exchange for collecting mutant babies the Right needed for a spell to open up a portal from Limbo to Earth, N'astirh promised Hodge immortality and the continued existence of The Right and its work creating conflict between humans and mutants. Earlier, Hodge kidnapped and tortured Candy Southern (Warren's former girlfriend). However, his former friend survived the private plane explosion and was transformed into Archangel by Apocalypse, and invades the Right's headquarters, killing Hodge after Hodge kills Candy.
Hodge's efforts would provide unexpected blows against his enemies. One of his armored employees kills New Mutant member Cypher, and another employee would end up becoming the powerful cyberneticist Nanny who, with the assistance of Orphan-Maker, would plague the X-Men multiple times. He is eventually confronted by Worthington, who decapitates Hodge.
In 1989 an entry for Cameron Hodge was included in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Update '89 #3, a reference book that served as a biographical encyclopedia of Marvel Comics' characters.
During the 1990 crossover storyline "X-Tinction Agenda", Cameron Hodge is revealed to be alive, his severed head having been attached to a large, non-humanoid robot body, a fate Hodge says he survived as a result of the pact he made with N'astirh. Hodge had become allied with government of the island nation of the Genosha, where mutants were enslaved as obedient servants. Hodge and the Genoshan government launched an attack upon the X-Men (which had united with the members of X-Factor), and its junior team, the New Mutants. During these events, Warlock, the alien member of the New Mutants, is killed in the course of Hodge's experiments upon him. His captives free themselves and defeat Hodge, whose still-surviving head is buried beneath a collapsed building.
