Read more about Porcupine at: Wikipedia Official Site: Marvel Porcupine is the name used by three fictional characters appearing in American comic book published by Marvel Comics. The first Porcupine first appeared in Tales to Astonish #48 (October 1963), and was created by Stan Lee and Don Heck. The second Porcupine first appeared in Daughters of the Dragon #3 and was created by Justin Gray, Jimmy Palmiotti, and Khari Evans. Alexander Gentry was originally a scientist who worked as a weapons designer for the United States Army. He conceived the idea of designing a battle-suit in imitation of a porcupine: it would be covered with quill-like projections for defense. Moreover, it would be able to shoot its quills, or gases, flames, chemicals, paralysis-inducing pellets, or weapons from quill-like tubes, at an opponent. Gentry spends months working overtime to create his porcupine battle-suit. He is proud of his achievement when the suit was finished, and believes his invention is worth a fortune. Yet Gentry also believes that the government would pay him, one of its employees, virtually nothing for his creation. Angrily, Gentry decides to keep the porcupine battle-suit and to use it to become wealthy through crime. Thus Gentry became the Porcupine, one of the first costumed professional criminals of his generation. No Regular Play Records Available No Fantasy Draft Records Available |
