History: (Great Lakes Avengers I#2 (fb) - BTS) - While keeping himself buried in an unmarked grave in an unidentified cemetery, the still-living and slightly unhinged Mister Immortal adopted a wooden cork as a "friend" and named it Corky.

(Great Lakes Avengers I#2) - Mister Immortal was given fluids by his friend Mike but when Mike inexplicably left, Mister Immortal refused to starve to death again and remarked that it appeared just Corky and him once more. Staring at the cork, Mister Immortal told Corky not to give him "that look" before using Corky to plug his water/oxygen tube and accusing Corky of being a "condescending bastard." Later, after Mister Immortal died of suffocation, he immediately resurrected, screaming and looking up at Corky. Taking Corky out of his oxygen tube so he could breath, Mister Immortal was soon shocked by the appearance of Doorman, who had sensed Mister Immortal's death and decided to check in on his former teammate. Dropping Corky, Mister Immortal was taken back above ground by Doorman and Corky was left behind in Mister Immortal's former grave.

Comments: Created by Zac Gorman and Will Robson.

Also, while Corky was just a wooden cork and had no actual eyes, it did have black eyes drawn on it.
