Shocker II appeared as part of the "Mutant Force" entry in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Deluxe Edition #9.
Randall Darby was discovered and recruited by Magneto to become a member of his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, taking the code-name Shocker. After being abandoned by Magneto, Darby and his teammates become known as Mutant Force. Under this name they work for the United States government, and, later, the Secret Empire.
Darby changes his code-name to Paralyzer when the Mutant Force become the Resistants. The Resistants' protest against the United States' Mutant Registration Act was cut short by a clash with John Walker, who was the current Captain America. Later, the Resistants revert to their Mutant Force identities and costumes. Their next clash is with the New Warriors.
