History: (Daredevil I#165 (fb) – BTS) –
Joseph "Wall-Eyed" Pike,
nicknamed such because his eyes pointed different directions, was a
second-rate criminal numbers runner and pool hustler. He worked with
Flapjack
and others in planning the acquisition of a shipment of Adamantium, one
which
had been stolen from a foundry in Pittsburgh.
(Daredevil I#165) – At Josie's bar, Pike was
hustling at pool
with Dundee and others when Daredevil rushed in, demanding to know
about the
Adamantium. As the others fought the hero, Pike fled, rushing to
Flapjack to
escalate their plan. The next night, Pike and others were stealing
items from a
New Jersey plant when Daredevil attacked. Pike rushed up to attack the
hero
but Dr. Octopus intervened, tossing Pike aside easily with a mechanical
arm.
(Daredevil I#172) – Bullseye questioned Pike about
the
whereabouts of the Kingpin, threatening him with a pool cue.
(Daredevil I#176 (fb) – BTS) – After beating Pike in pool, Stick
won two hundred dollars off of him. Pike complained about it
in the local
bar.
(Daredevil I#176) – Pike was home brushing his
teeth when Elektra
burst through his window, demanding to know where Stick was, and Pike
gladly
told her. Turk Barrett, wearing a suit of mech armor, bust through his
wall and
broke his bed, demanding the same information, and Pike gave him the
same
information. Pike took some antacids but then Daredevil broke through
another
window demanding the same intel. Pike packed a bag and,
passing Snuff and
Heather Glenn on the way out, gave them the same information on Stick.
(Daredevil I#187 (fb) – BTS) – Pike set up a game
of pool
with Stick at Josie's.
