Moses Magnum

Moses Magnum was fascinated with weapons from a young age. When Italy invaded Ethiopia, Magnum sided with the invaders against his own people. He would go on to found one of the world's foremost independent weapons manufacturing corporations. When he was hired to create a toxic biochemical gas, he kidnapped innocents to test it on, drawing the attention of Spider-Man and the Punisher. Narrowly surviving that encounter, Magnum went on to come to blows with many other superheroes including the X-Men, the Avengers, Luke Cage, and more, even gaining the ability to cause earthquakes.
