The Porcupine was once a small time criminal, considered dumb by many of the people who knew him. Other criminals began giving him shock treatments for their own amusement. Eventually the Porcupine became immune to the effects of electricity. He continued to build up his own tolerance, until he could withstand the electricity delivered by the electric chair. He began wearing a green coat that constantly fed electricity into his body. Because this made his hair and eyebrows stand on end, other criminals began to call him The Porcupine. After being released from prison, he went on a crime spree, but was stopped by Captain Triumph. His electricity granted the Porcupine superhuman strength, sufficient to bust through a bank vault door and a brick wall, and charged the quills on his jacket, which knocked his victims unconscious or killed them instantly. Deprived of his jacket, he quickly lost his strength.
