Character Bio: The Stupendous Stapler

Alter Ego - Mac Stàple
Height - 6'2"
Weight - ~180lbs.
Age - 30
Hair - Brown
Eyes - Green
Origin - Parents were killed when he was young, and his father's company went to him (Batman). Also accidentally stabbed himself with a radioactive staple at one point (Spider-Man). It only gave him diarrhea for a short period, but also gave him the idea to be a superhero.
Gear - Multi-barreled staple gun, ankle-mounted thrusters to provide flight, and various other most likely rarely used/one-off tools to fit the story (grappling hook, staple grenades, etc.)

A quick and dirty sketch I did of Mac Stàple
Notes - The hero of the story. Not too strong or smart, but handsome and rich... and isn't that all you really need?
Parody of Amazing Fantasy #15, the first appearance of Spider-Man.
As stated in the Blog Goal post, The Stapler was conceived when I was playing around with a stapler, which I had opened up to turn into a makeshift weapon. I started swinging it around and eventually thought of the idea of a character wielding a massive version as a weapon. I then drew a quick and silly picture of the Stapler. Eventually I decided against a very un-hero-like weapon and gave him a more traditional staple gun. While his design has changed with just about every new drawing of him, the general idea of slick shades, gray jumpsuit and a cape have stayed consistent.

He has an upgraded form of sorts called the Super Stapler, but there's nothing really to it outside of a more armored look and possibly some different hair. Oh and I made a "Stapler Shinoben" version too for kicks... but there's like a 1% chance that will be anything other than a piece of trivia. And I know how you guys love trivia on barely-fleshed out ideas to parodies of superheroes!
