captain_feral-farrell-leap1captain_feral-farrell-leap2Powers/Abilities: Captain Farrell has an unspecified level of superhuman abilities, but he can notably leap at least a few dozen feet in the air.

    He likely has enhanced strength, agility, endurance, and/or enhanced senses; however, he did not demonstrate any of those abilities in his limited appearances.

    As a mercenary, he likely had fighting skills, armed and/or unarmed, but again, the degree of his abilities is undefined.

.

Weight: Unrevealed (he seemed to be very stocky; approximately 175-200 lbs.)

History:

(She-Hulk: Cosmic Collision#1 (fb) - BTS) - Also known as Captain Feral, Max Farrell was a low-rent mercenary.

    At some point, whether before or after his mercenary career (see comments), Farrell was married and had a daughter.

    Farrell and his wife were divorced.

    Under unspecified circumstances, Farrell's ex-wife successfully filed a restraining order against him (presumably because he assaulted or threatened her).

    After being arrested in (apparently in New York), Farrell employed Freeman Bonding, Inc. to pay his bail. Despite the restraining order, Farrell resolved to see his daughter's wedding, intending to view from a distance.

    Farrell jumped bail, traveling to Milwaukee, Wisconsin (presumably the location of the wedding).

    Freeman Bonding, Inc. employed She-Hulk and Jazinda to recover Farrell when he skipped bail.

captain_feral-farrell-face-prof(She-Hulk: Cosmic Collision#1) - Fleeing from She-Hulk and Jazinda, Farrell leapt into a building under construction. She-Hulk instructed Max to come down before he slipped and killed himself, further advising him that he knew that she was going to catch him.

    When Farrell informed them that he just wanted three days to see his daughter's wedding, and he swore that after that he would turn himself in, but She-Hulk reminded him that his ex-wife had a restraining order against him. Farrell argued that the wedding was going to take place in a park and that he could watch from far enough away that neither his ex-wife nor his daughter would even see him.

    He asked She-Hulk to have a heart, but -- feeling that criminals tended to lie at not be trustworthy -- she refused. Jazinda thought they should give him a chance, feeling it to be a reasonable request.

    However, as She-Hulk was explaining her reasons, they were interrupted by Unum, who thought to kill them both.

    After the Collector teleported both She-Hulk and Jazinda away and Unum pursued them, Farrell headed out.

(She-Hulk: Cosmic Collision#1 (fb) - BTS) - Three days later, having presumably watched his daughter's wedding as planned, Farrell returned to New York and turned himself in.

(She-Hulk: Cosmic Collision#1 - BTS) - After returning to Earth, She-Hulk was surprised to learn that Farrell had indeed turned himself in.

Comments: Created by Peter David, Mahmud A. Asrar, and Scott Hanna.

    Did Farrell work in Milwaukee, or did he only return there for his daughter's wedding?

    Is Farrell a mutant, mutate, Inhuman, humanoid extraterrestrial or something else? We don't know, nor will we, until some story follows up on him.

    It is hard to tell from the limited images available if the lines seen on Farrell's face are just shading or whether he actually has tiger stripe-like markings.
