History

History of character is unknown.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

Porcupine Pete's entire body is studded with pointed projectiles resembling the quills of a porcupine. Through an act of will, Pete can launch his quills from his body either in groupings for a localized effect, or all at once for a larger area effect.

Strength level

Average: Porcupine Pete possesses the strength level of a man his age, size and weight who engages in moderate regular activity.

Weaknesses

Porcupine Pete's greatest weakness is his inability to control his powers. This has proven to be a hindrance not only to his adversaries, but to innocent bystanders as well. It is because of this lack of control that his application into the Legion of Super-Heroes was denied.
