To date, six(?), seven(?) unique uniforms have presented themselves in the ongoing narrative. Juxtapositions of them against each other increases the mystery of this long term enigmatic character.

	Over the decades, his suit has undergone significant upgrades, overhauls and at least two complete redesigns. Much sleeker today, far more refined, portable and probably more durable. The first somewhat bulky contrivance(circa 1959) seems to be a vessel of sorts to either generate the N-Force energy or contain it. There are also primitive (by today's standards) miniaturization devices for duplicating certain physical body activities.

	Despite the numerous appearances, and the long history of the character(s), this '''Herocopia''' entry still remains more questions than revelations, more speculations that facts, and not much substance beyond basic observations of his many appearances. With so little to go on except a handful of images, it is hard to define N-Forcer, except in purely speculative forms. Part of the charm and fun of a very colorful and intriguing character.

	Series creator Kurt Busiek has hinted that there is a storyline in the works, a detailed ~~expose~~ focused on the N-Forcer program. This should lead to many of these questions being answered in the near future...
