Joseph "Joey" Edkin

Joseph Edkin was a reporter for CBS News and competitor for Entertainment Tonight's Heidi O'Shea. He had once met Paladin during his coverage of a middle Eastern crisis. During the arrival of the Black Knight and the Wasp to a Manhattan nightclub, Joseph interrupted Heidi's discussion with them to bombard the Avengers with questions concerning the Sub-Mariner's leave of absence. He was halted in his questions by the arrival of Paladin, who claimed he had not seen Edkin since the fracas in the middle East. Joey explained to Paladin that he was still with the network and asked if Paladin was there to tryout for Avengers membership in the Sub-Mariner's absence.
