If you serve in the Marines, there is only two places you go afterwards, the law enforcement or the private sector. Guess which one he went for. Introduced in Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man #4 (1976) by Archie Goodwin and Sal Buscema, Burt Kenyon served in the same unit as Frank Castle. where Burt would save his life and earning a life debt between the two. He was released from service due to being deemed unstable and would become a mercenary/assassin for hire. He began working for the Maggia as the Hitman, choosen to be the opposite of Punisher. He would fight against Spider-man and Spider-man placed a tracker on the villain. He past this info onto Frank, who began hunting down his old friend.
He was later hired to assassinate J. Jonah Jameson and in the ensuing battle with Spider-man and the Punisher, he witness Punisher rushing to save Spider-man and JJJ. Releasing Frank from his debt, he fell to his death. He was later revived when he, along with many friends and enemies of Spider-man, were cloned by Ben Reilly who was posing as Jackal at the time. He was one of many clones that survived the Clone Conspiracy arc. However, Kenyon used the Jackal tech to backup his mind into a server and continually download it into a new clone body. He was later hired by Countess Karkov of Symkaria to assassinate Dr. Doom at a UN meeting. However, since they knew that Doom would use a Doombot, she gave him a bullet to fire at the bot and infect Doom’s network. Hitman succeeded and killed this body when he was done.
Possible Figures
- Which has the best chance of being made? – Hitman has had only one costume over the years, a bright yellow near orange suit with brown accessories. The costume was designed to be the opposite of Punisher with his darker colors.
- How can it be made? – This one is easy. They can use the Punisher Warzone body with some new accessories and added parts. This one would also be easy to place as it can easily be slotted into a Spider-man retro line or in some sort of Punisher 2-pack, maybe with a First Appearance Punisher.
