Fictional character biography
editMegatak (Gregory Nettles) was an industrial spy. He was inside an experimental video display when he gained his powers. He was defeated by Thor and Sif, and Thor drained his electrical abilities.[2]
When Megatak later reappeared in New York, he was gunned down by the Scourge of the Underworld disguised as a homeless man.[3]
Megatak was later among the eighteen criminals, all murdered by the Scourge, to be resurrected by Hood using the power of Dormammu as part of a squad assembled to eliminate the Punisher.[4] Megatak's powers have completely taken him over, and he has morphed into a living computer program.[5] Microchip is able to track the Punisher's hacker friend Henry, and Megatak travels into the hacker's computer and assaults him.[6] Megatak then uses the connection to transport Blue Streak to Henry's location.[7]
He has since been recruited into the Crime Master's "Savage Six" in order to combat Venom.[8]
