Firearm is a fictional character in the Marvel comics universe. He is a member of The Jury. Marvel Comics (Stan Lee is behind many of the superheros) is an American comic book line published by Marvel Publishing, Inc. ... In comic books, first appearance refers to first comic book to feature a character. ... David Michelinie is an American comic book writer. ... Bagleys cover for Ultimate Spider-Man #65. ...


History

Not much is known about Firearm and unlike the other members of his team the identity of the man underneath the armor has never been revealed. We do know he is a black man who was once a Guardsman at the Vault. General Orwell Taylor recruited Firearm and a number of other Guardsmen into the Jury to help the avenge the death of his son, Hugh was killed by Venom during an escape attempt. The Jury went after Venom a couple times as well as Spider-Man and Thunderbolts. The Jury almost always loses. The Vault is the widely used nickname of a defunct prison facility for super-human criminals (predominantly supervillains) in the Marvel Comics universe. ...


Due to an art error in Thunderbolts #23 Firearm is shown to be a blonde white man. Presumably Kurt Busiek or Mark Bagley confused Firearm with former member Screech (Max Taylor) who had by this time given up his armor and was no longer an active member of the team.


Powers

Firearm has a suit of armor that allows him to fly and emit fire from the arms of his armor.
