Powers: The Feathered Felon could fly via wings, which were independent of his arms. He was fast and agile, both in the air and on the ground. He was obsessed with pretty objects, such as gems, handbags, and anything else which caught his eye.

It is not known if these abilities are within his own body or due to the power of a suit he wears. It is similarly not known if he is wearing a suit of any kind, or if this is his true form. His level of intelligence and reasoning ability is uncertain. If he is human, he either lacked socialization or is mentally unbalanced.

History: (Marvel Comics Presents#14/3)- The Feathered Felon suddenly appeared in Springdale, Connecticut, swooping down from the sky and taking anything that interested him. Early on, he stole the briefcase of Justin Baldwin, which contained important information on the Saint-Vire trial on which he was prosecutor. This attracted the attention of Speedball, who was both the son of Justin Baldwin, and Springdale's sole super-hero.

The Feathered Felon easily evaded Speedball's attempts to catch him in the sky. Speedball next secretly tracked him back to the water tower in which he stole his loot. Speedball confronted the him and after a brief scuffle, discovered that something was off with the Feathered Felon. As Speedball tried to explain what was wrong with its statement "Fun! Fun! You want? You take!", the Feathered Felon kicked him in the head, flew out the window and escaped.

Comments: Created by Steve Ditko and Jo Duffy.

No information is known on his background. He could be a mutant; an evolved bird, along the lines of the Ani-Mate known as Bird-Brain; one of the Avians of Sky Island (home of Red Raven), etc.

The Feathered Felon was said to have been one of the early patrons to the Bar With No Name visited in the text story "Losers!" in Marvel Year-in-Review '92.

This guy would be a great partner for Squirrel Girl.
