    For the last 15 years, he has just had a random appearance in a comic here or there without his OWN series since 94. It's time for him to make a comeback!

    I totally agree I love seeing underrated characters get there own series. This guy needs an ongoing or at least another mini or a place in a team book. His costume alone is freakin awesome!! He's like a working class Batman or something...

    my only thing is they need to shape up his background, retcon some sensibility and shore up the holes. It always seem reallly silly he was stuck doing construction work and such , but was a brilliant inventor but couldn't make it thru college. and why wouldn't he take advantage of his older brother teaching, since he one of the Marvel universes top martial artist?  This is one of them characters with so much potential
    @PrinceIMC:  your right about the gadget and costume update , he should have something on par with Iron Spider armor.
