Lotta low-scoring players on that bench.<br />And then we have the Porcupine. His main power was he had a lotta pointy quills sticking out of him.<br />Very effective against coyotes and even wolves, and Ant-man.

It was in the 2nd FF cartoon series, the one with Herbie the Robot.

As for the Toad, I've always thought that Magneto kept him around simply so he could have someone to call a dolt and clout around the head with no fear of consequences, in keeping with his early characterisation as the nastiest person in the Marvel Universe. I liked him better then, when he was just a bastard instead of being a Holocaust survivor and having a bit of a point.Joe S.

As for that FF story, a similar one appeared in Challengers of the Unknown a few years before - also drawn by Jack.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.com
