Porcupine Pete was a member of the Legion of Substitute Heroes, a group of heroes rejected by the Legion of Super-Heroes.
History
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. And has been known to beat even the man of steel one on one scaling him outerversal.
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.
