He may be short but he packs quite a wallop. Introduced in Alpha Flight #1 (1983) by John Byrne, Eugene Judd was once a giant-size of a man that was curse with dwarfism when he tried to steal a mystic dagger. This also allowed in longevity so he is actually much older then he appears, meeting Ernest Hemingway, a younger Black Widow and Wolverine. After ending up in jail, he was released and asked to join the new Flight program, as part of the Beta Flight team, and was one of the first training member to be promoted to the Alpha Flight team, alongside Marina. He would later regain his former height but this turned out to be a plan by Loki and he soon returned to being a dwarf.

After the death of her husband, Puck had a brief fling with Heather Hudson. Another scheme from Loki saw Puck having to make a difficult choice of saving his friends or travel throughout the multiverse. He choose to save his team. A battle with the Dreamqueen, who tortured him, Puck found himself in hospital. He was one of the member of Alpha Flight who stood against the Collective entering Canada and lost his life because of it. Unlike the rest of the team, he would not be revived in the Chaos War. Instead, he was sent to a realm of Hell, where he fought many to become a Ruler of Hell but gave it up when he learnt his friends where in trouble. He would later join Storm’s version of X-force before taking Talisman under his wing. He has since joined with the new Alpha Flight Space Program under Carol Danver’s leadership.

As one of Alpha Flight’s most famous member, Puck has had a few figures over the years. In terms of Marvel Legends, he has had a bit of a troubled history. His first ML was when Hasbro were trying a new BAF program with them trying a Mini-BAF figures instead. However, he was part of an extremely under-stocked Exclusive wave. However, this figure would see a re-release (with a new proper sized head) as part of the Amazon Exclusive Alpha Flight box set, being the only figure in that set that wasn’t a brand new character.
