Fictional character biography

Megatak (Gregory Nettles) was an industrial spy. He was inside an experimental video display when he gained his powers. He was defeated by Thor and Sif, and Thor drained his electrical abilities. ^[2]

When Megatak reappears in New York, he is gunned down by the Scourge of the Underworld disguised as a homeless man. ^[3] Long after his death, he is among the eighteen criminals killed by the Scourge who are resurrected by the Hood using the power of Dormammu as part of a squad assembled to eliminate the Punisher. ^[4] Megatak's powers have completely taken him over, transforming him into a living computer program. ^{[5] [6]}

He has since been recruited into the Crime Master's Savage Six to combat Venom. ^[7]
