Who is Porcupine?

Porcupine is one of those wonderfully quirky Silver Age Marvel villains who crawled out of the early 1960s imagination of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, debuting in Tales to Astonish #48 in 1963 — right in the thick of Marvel's most creatively explosive era. Over a surprisingly long publishing history stretching nearly six decades, this spiky troublemaker has turned up across The X-Men, Tales to Astonish, and Captain America, sharing pages with heavy-hitters like Beast, Hank McCoy, and Steve Rogers himself. With two key-issue appearances flagged by collectors and a legacy that outlasted most of his contemporaries, Porcupine is exactly the kind of deep-cut Marvel character that rewards the curious fan who digs past the A-list.
