      BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahaahahhahahaha~~~!!! I am SO glad I’m not the only one who can’t figure out the Red Claw’s real identity. He’s gotta be some “rewrite” of an existing character, but I’ll be darned if I know who.

      What’s the point of creating a new character for something like this when there are literally THOUSANDS in the Marvel sandbox already?

      It’s probably Jean Grey.

      I was wondering the same thing… A list of characters in the hundreds, if not thousands, and they have to do crab-boy? Why not… Quick Silver, Yellow Jacket, Rage, 3D-Man, Captain Britain, Scarlet Witch, Beast, SpiderWoman… I could go on and on… crab boy… pathetic.

      The coloring of the character makes me wonder if he isn’t somehow related to the Red Hulk.

      I say it is a character the first ever winner of a “no prize” won. Fhey finally got something to be in a comic like 40 years later and the character sucks as bad as a No Prize

      the character’s name is Repteele(Not the correct spelling I don’t have the spanish punctuation on this puter) he has a mystic/magic fossil which allows him to change parts of his anatomy to that of extinct dinosaurs.
