Mongoose is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

Publication history

Mongoose first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #283, and was created by writer Tom DeFalco and artist Ron Frenz.

Fictional character biography

Mongoose was originally a normal mongoose before the High Evolutionary transformed him into an anthropomorphic form to serve as his agent. He battles both Spider-Man, Thunderstrike, and Thor, becoming an enemy of the latter and joining Baron Zemo's Masters of Evil.[1][2][3][4]

After being arrested by Zemo's Thunderbolts, Mongoose agrees to join the team instead of being imprisoned, and later joins the Fifty State Initiative as well.[5]

In The Punisher War Journal, Mongoose is among the animal-themed supervillains who are kidnapped by Alyosha Kravinoff before being rescued by the Punisher.[6]

Powers and abilities

Genetic engineering by the High Evolutionary granted Mongoose superhuman strength, speed, stamina, agility, and reflexes. He is an excellent hand-to-hand combatant, utilizing his agility to create a unique fighting style.

The Mongoose wears artificial claws on his gloves, and uses gas pellets (causing dizziness and disorientation), and a wrist device used to project concussive blasts. He has also carried a cellsmograph, a device for determining the presence of a living being by identifying its genetic structure. He also has access to the advanced sky-craft and land vehicles of Wundagore, and once used an "asteroid blaster" to attack Thor.
