History: (Peter Porker, The Spectacular Spider-Ham#13/2 (fb) - BTS) - The chicken that would become Deathsquawk considered himself to have been deep, but not clever as a child, and recalled his kindergarten years as a struggle. He was experimented on by unidentified forces who turned him into a cyborg with an internal microwave oven. Through unrevealed circumstances, he escaped the chicken coop at which he was being held.

(Peter Porker, The Spectacular Spider-Ham#13/2 - BTS) - Nick Furry became aware of Deathsquawk's escape and ordered all S.H.E.E.P. units at his disposal to capture him.

(Peter Porker, The Spectacular Spider-Ham#13/2) - Running through a field, Deathsquawk philosophized about his own nature and purpose in life when an armed S.H.E.E.P. patrol ordered him to freeze. Nick Furry reminded his subordinates that ordinary guns were of no use and shot Deathsquawk with his Vandercleef X.LK5 softsheel repeater, but it exploded in his own face. Deathsquawk was only annoyed at this interruption and continued his train of thought all while firing his gun at S.H.E.E.P. personnel without even looking at them. After Furry shot him again, with an Esterhauser 22B/Z-14 mega-caliber peace-maker which also exploded in his face, Deathsquawk dropped his book by Sigmund Frog and searched for an answer inside his childhood. Forgoing firearms, Furry surprise attacked Deathsquawk from behind and handed him his own blueprints to read. Learning his true purpose in life at last, Deathsquawk embraced it proudly and activated his internal microwave. He was roasted to become a delicious-looking cooked chicken, after which he surrendered to Furry and went with him willingly.

Comments: Created by Mike Mellor.

    Deathsquawk's real name is no doubt some bird-related pun.

    The text on the Deathsquawk's chest changes from one panel to another.

    He continues to talk and walk after being cooked, so by cartoon logic of Earth-8311 Deathsquawk should be fine.
