History: (Spider-Man Magazine I#9) - Squid-Man utilized his superhuman abilities as a supervillain, battling such foes as Doctor Harpoon and Mister Experiment.

Comments: Created by Jason Noakes.

Squid-Man was a product of the 1994 Spider-Man Magazine's "Create Your Own Super Hero or Super-Villain" section that ran in most earlier issues of the Magazine. In Squid-Man's case, he was created by then-10-year-old Jason Noakes of Albion, Michigan. As a fringe character, Squid-Man was not confirmed to exist on Earth-616 but there was no evidence to say he did not exist on Earth-616 either...

Squid-Man's height & weight were impossible to approximate, as he was never seen next to any character whose height & weight had been officially determined.

Squid-Man's origin was never revealed but one might guess that his hypnotic and matter transformation powers could stem from his being a mutant. Then again, it's a bit odd that he would choose the name Squid-Man, given his superhuman powers. Squids aren't exactly known for their hypnotic or matter transformation abilities. Perhaps he is a mutant who simply chose to go with a squid-themed costume...
