History: (Spider-Man Magazine I#4) - Squid-A-Tron was a super villain who used his laser-firing tentacles as a criminal, earning him the enmity of Super Sub and Doctor Shark With Teeth.

Comments: Created by Michael Chronister.

Squid-A-Tron was a product of the 1994 Spider-Man Magazine's Create Your Own Super Hero or Super-Villain section that ran through most every issue of the magazine. In the case of Squid-A-Tron, he was created by then-9-year-old Michael Chronister of Sherwood, Oregon. Squid-A-Tron is a fringe character with very little information given so there is no evidence that he existed on Earth-616 but there is equally no evidence to support that he did not exist on Earth-616....

Squid-A-Tron's height and weight were impossible to approximate, as he was never seen next to a character whose height and weight had been officially determined.

Squid-A-Tron's origin was never given. It was unclear whether Squid-A-Tron might have been a mutated terrestrial squid, an alien or even a robot of some sort, given that "tron" was part of his codename...
