MECHA-RODENTS

Classification: Rats, cybernetic

Location/Base of Operations: Sky Dragon

Affiliations: Yellow Claw

Enemies: Nick Fury

First Appearance: Strange Tales III#1 (November, 1994)

Powers/Abilities: The Mecha-Rodents were genetically-engineered to be larger than ordinary rats, and had lasers mounted in their shoulders and eyes.

History: (Strange Tales III#1 (fb)) - During his plan to destroy the United Nations building with a powerful cannon mounted on his Sky Dragon, the Yellow Claw was opposed by Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. As Fury fought his way through the Sky Dragon, the Claw sent four of his Mecha-Rodents to destroy him, but Fury wrapped his explosive uniform around one of the rats, causing it to destroy itself when it tried to shoot through the fabric. Fury then used parts from the destroyed rodent to create a feedback signal that destroyed the other Mecha-Rodents.

Comments: Created by Kurt Busiek and Ricardo Villagran.
