'''Lylla''' is a fictional character appearing in comic books published by Marvel Comics. She is an anthropomorphic [[otter]] who the C.E.O. of the biggest toy making company in the universe, Mayhem Mekaniks on the planet Halfworld. She is also the friend and lover of [[Rocket Raccoon]]. She inherited the company after her parents were murdered by Judson Jakes who wanted control of the company. The only way for Lylla to gain full control was through marriage. Lylla soon came under threat not just through Jakes, but also through Lord Dyvyne as they both wanted to control her toy company. Luckily, Rocket Raccoon came to her aid and with the help of their friends, [[Wal Rus]] and Uncle Pyko, defeated both parties. Lylla traveled with Rocket afterwards to start a new life together. These events were later revealed to be false. Lylla, along with the rest of the Halfworlders, were actually service animals who cared for mental patients on their planet. She was also apparently married to [[Blackjack O'Hare]]. She has not been seen since, and her marriage to Blackjack seemed retconned as he reappeared as a deadly mercenary and enemy to Rocket.

Blackjack O'Hare

2023-02-24T11:44:52Z

2601:18D:4980:90:D515:C93:F841:EA2: /* In other media */

'''Blackjack O'Hare''' is a fictional [[character]] appearing in [[comic book]]s published by Marvel Comics. Created by by Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema, the character first appeared in ''The Incredible Hulk'' #271 (May 1982). Blackjack O'Hare is an [[anthropomorphic]] [[hare]] who is a mercenary and leader of the Black Bunny Brigade. He was hired by Judson Jakes and Lord Dyvyne to kidnap Lylla, the C.E.O. of Mayhem Mekaniks. He planned on betraying his employers by marrying Lylla and inheriting the company, but was found out. He was rescued by [[Rocket Raccoon]] and after a series of incidents that caused him to question his own loyalty, he aided Rocket in defeating the tyrants and left with his new friends to start a new life.<ref>''Rocket Raccoon'' #1-4</ref>

All this appeared to be false when Rocket visited Halfworld and discovered that Blackjack, along with Lylla and [[Wal Rus]], were all actually service animals for the mental patients who inhabited the planet. Blackjack married Lylla after Rocket left to ensure the imprisonment of a dangerous criminal.<ref>''Annihilators'' #3</ref>

However, this story was immediately retconned as Blackjack returned as a mercenary and adversary to Rocket and Groot. Blackjack was once again working for Dyvyne with his next assignment being that he kidnap Princess Lynx. Rocket, Groot and Wal Rus arrived to defeat Blackjack, his brigade and Dyvyne, once again.<ref>''Free Comic Book Day Rocket Raccoon''</ref>

He turned up again, disguised as an impostor Rocket and framing him for a series of murders.<ref>''Rocket Raccoon'' (vol. 2) #1</ref> He reveals his identity to Rocket and claims that the reason for framing him was that he ruined his chance to assassinate Princess Amalya and destroyed his reputation in the process. Amalya had become a "General" and arrived with Rocket's ex's in an effort to exterminate him themselves. Blackjack considered the possibility of assassinating her now, but was shot by Amalya because he was talking out loud. As a last ditch effort he fires a missile at Rocket, but it gets deflected and Blackjack is presumably killed.<ref>''Rocket Raccoon'' (vol. 2) #4</ref>

==In other media==
* Blackjack O'Hare appears in the ''[[W:Guardians of the Galaxy (TV series)|Guardians of the Galaxy]]'' episode "We Are Family," voiced by David Sobolov.
* Blackjack O'Hare appears in the ''[[W:Rocket & Groot|Rocket & Groot]]'' shorts.
* In the ''[[W:Marvel Super Hero Adventures|Marvel Super Hero Adventures]]'' episode "The Claws of Life," Blackjack is voiced by Sam Vincent.

'''Spider-Ham''' (real name '''Peter Porker'''), is an [[anthropomorphic]] [[pig]] [[character]] who is the [[funny animal]] parody version of [[Wikipedia:Marvel Comics|Marvel Comics']] popular [[Wikipedia:Spider-Man|Spider-Man]] character. He was created by [[Wikipedia:Larry Hama|Larry Hama]], [[Wikipedia:Tom DeFalco|Tom DeFalco]] and Mark Armstrong.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Brevoort |first1=Tom |last2=DeFalco |first2=Tom |last3=Manning |first3=Matthew K. |last4=Sanderson |first4=Peter |last5=Wiacek |first5=Win |title=Marvel Year By Year: A Visual History |date=2017 |publisher=DK Publishing |isbn=978-1465455505 |page=213}}</ref>

His first appearance was in the 1983 one-shot humor comic book ''Marvel Tails Starring Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham'' #1, which was then followed by an ongoing bimonthly series, ''Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham''. The series lasted 17 issues, all of which were published under Marvel's Star Comics imprint. The character primarily exists on Earth-8311, which was a universe populated by other anthropomorphic animal parody versions of Marvel superheroes and supervillains.<ref name="Time">{{cite news|title= Top 10 Oddest Marvel Characters|work= Time|date=2009-09-03|url=http://entertainment.time.com/2009/09/02/top-10-oddest-marvel-characters/slide/spider-ham/|access-date=2010-03-04}}</ref>

== Publication history ==

Spider-Ham was first featured as star of the 1983 humorous one-shot ''Marvel Tails'', with a backup cast of other anthropomorphic talking-animal parody versions of popular Marvel superheroes, such as Captain Americat (a cat version of Captain America), Hulk-Bunny (a rabbit version of Hulk) and Goose Rider (a goose version of Ghost Rider).<ref>{{cite book |last1=Becattini |first1=Alberto |title=American Funny Animal Comics in the 20th Century: Volume Two |date=2019 |publisher=Theme Park Press |isbn=978-1683902218 |chapter=Super-Animals}}</ref>

Two years later, a solo series, titled ''Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham'' debuted under Marvel's Star Comics imprint. The series, published bi-monthly, lasted seventeen issues before its cancellation in 1987. With the cancellation of ''Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham'', the character became a backup feature in ''Marvel Tales'', a monthly reprint series showcasing Spider-Man's past adventures. Beginning with issue #201 (cover dated July 1987), these new Spider-Ham stories appeared in issues #201–212, 214–219, 223–230, 233, 236, 237, 239, 240, and 247 before ceasing altogether.

In issue #3 of ''What The--?!'' (cover dated October 1988), Porker meets with Raven the Hunter (a parody of Spider-Man's nemesis Kraven the Hunter) in a story that satirized the popular "Kraven's Last Hunt" storyline which had been featured a year earlier in Marvel's Spider-Man titles. Spider-Ham also makes appearances in issues #18, 20, 22, and 24 of ''What The--?!'' The 26th issue of ''What The--?!'' (cover dated fall 1993) features "Spider-Ham 15.88", a humorous take-off on Peter Parker's future counterpart, Miguel O'Hara a.k.a. ''Spider-Man 2099''. The "15.88" is not seen as a year, but rather a humorous take on the price of a ham (the cover states that it was marked down from the original price of $20.99).

Spider-Ham has also appeared on the cover of ''Wha...Huh?'' #1, and was referred to as a fictional character in the Earth-616 Marvel Universe, in ''Generation X'' #52.

== Fictional character biography ==

Spider-Ham was born a [[spider]] (simply named Peter). He resided in the basement lab of May Porker, a slightly goofy animal scientist who had created "the world's first atomic powered hairdryer", hoping that "the introduction of nuclear fusion into America's beauty salons" would "revolutionize the hair care industry".<ref name="Time"/> After dousing her head with water and activating the dryer, May Porker accidentally irradiated herself, and in a fit of delusion, bit Peter, who then found himself transformed into an anthropomorphic swine much like May Porker herself. Running from the Porker homestead disoriented, Peter soon came to realize that he still retained a spider's abilities:

<blockquote>''"This is astounding! Am I a spider with the limitations of a pig? Or a pig with the proportionate strength and agility of a spider? I've become something greater than either spider or pig... I've become a '''Spider-Ham!'''"'' – ''Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham'' #15 (May 1987)</blockquote>

After this startling series of events, Peter (who adopted the surname "Porker", that of his benefactor May Porker, who after the accident mentally attuned to a state in which she believed she was Peter's loving aunt) dedicated himself and his new-found abilities to fighting injustice and the occasional animal parody of established Marvel Comics villains. May Porker's scientific genius was transferred to Peter, giving him the know-how to devise his webspinner gauntlets to replace his lost natural ability.

Spider-Ham begins to fight injustice and the occasional funny animal villain parodied of existing Marvel villains, such as Ducktor Doom, often alongside funny animal versions of Marvel heroes, such as Captain Americat and Hulk-Bunny. Another one of his enemies includes Pork Grind, who is an animal version of Venom whom he also fights among others that are also animal versions of Marvel villains.

== Comic issues ==
[[File:Spider-Ham variant cover of ASM 528.jpg|right|thumb|175px|Variant cover to Amazing Spider-Man #528, by Mike Wieringo.]]
The Spider-Ham series also included back up strips featuring such characters as Deerdevil ([[Wikipedia:Daredevil (Marvel Comics)|Daredevil]]), Goose Rider ([[Wikipedia:Ghost Rider (comics)|Ghost Rider]]) and the Fantastic Fur (the [[Wikipedia:Fantastic Four|Fantastic Four]]).

Some of these back-ups were contradictory, presenting different anthropomorphic versions of characters in different stories, such as two [[Wikipedia:Namor|Namor]] counterparts: the Sub-Merchandizer (a [[dog]]) and the Sub-Marsupial (possibly an [[Wikipedia:Opossum|opossum]]).

However, the Asinine Torch (a [[donkey]]) that appeared in a story with the Sub-Marsupial and the Fantastic Fur's Simian Torch are not two variants of the Fantastic Four's [[Wikipedia:Human Torch|Human Torch]]; since he was depicted as elderly in the 1980s, and referred to as an "old sparring partner" of the Sub-Marsupial's, he was obviously a counterpart to the [[Wikipedia:Human Torch (android)|Golden Age Human Torch]].

== Back into the mainstream ==

The character faded into cult status, alongside other funny animal super-heroes, such as DC's [[Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew]]. Until recently, the Marvel crew decided to give Spider-Ham another chance.

Returning triumphantly in 2005 by popular demand in a poll in variant cover art for Amazing Spider-Man #528 by artists Mike Wieringo and Karl Kesel, Spider-Man Family #1 featured a sixteen-page Spider-Girl story, in which May Parker (Peter Parker's daughter) watches a DVD showing a small portion of a fictional Spider-Ham animated series, discovering that it was created by one of Spider-Man's enemies, Jack O'Lantern. Also in the issue, there was a reprint of ''Marvel Tails'' #1.

Spider-Ham was selected by fans and retailers to be the focus of the final variant cover by Mike Wieringo to the ''Spider-Man: The Other'' crossover, ''Amazing Spider-Man'' #528.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.newsarama.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=53776 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20081211063549/http://www.newsarama.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=53776 |url-status= dead |archive-date= 2008-12-11 |title= [Updated] CHECKING OUT THE SPIDER-HAM |work = Newsarama |via= Web.archive.org |date=2008-12-11 |access-date=2019-06-30}}</ref>

Finally, after a nearly 20 year hiatus of Spider-Ham stories, in January 2007, J. Michael Straczynski authored the ''Ultimate Civil War Spider-Ham'' one-shot, featuring Spider-Ham's attempt to find his missing "thought balloons" against a [[Wikipedia:Civil War (comic book)|Civil War]] parody.

Tom Defalco returned to Spider-Ham's world in 2009, in the pages of ''Amazing Spider-Man Family'' #4–5. He introduces Swiney-Girl, the daughter of Spider-Ham and counterpart of Defalco's other creation Spider-Girl. Once again, the story strays away from the established, albeit loose, continuity of the original Spider-Ham stories by altering the character's origin and supporting characters, most notably in establishing Peter Porker as a natural-born pig bitten by a radioactive spider (directly mirroring Spider-Man's origin) and altering his love interest (a counterpart of Mary Jane Watson) from a water buffalo to a crane.

He fights alongside the ''X-Babies'' in issue #4 (March 2010) of their four-issue miniseries from 2009–2010.

To mark the anniversary of ''Peter Porker, The Spectacular Spider-Ham'' #1, Marvel released the ''Spider-Ham 25th Anniversary Special'' in July 2010, with Tom Defalco writing both Spider-Ham and Swiney-Girl stories. These stories feature most of Spider-Ham's original cast and origin, but incorporates the Mary Crane Watsow character from ''Amazing Spider-Man Family'' rather than her original counterpart.

In the 2019 comic, ''Amazing Spider-Man: Full Circle'', Spider-Ham, along with Bombastic Bag-Ham and his symbiote suit are also featured.

In 2022, a graphic novel was published called ''Spider-Ham: Hollywood May-Ham''. The book features Spider-Ham and Mary Jane Water Buffalo to make a documentary about his status as a superhero with Alfred Peacock (a parody of Alfred Hitchcock). After noticing mysterious happenings on set, he realizes Peacock is actually Mysteriape and attempts to defeat him and the Swinester Six.

==In other media==

===Television===
* In the animated series ''[[W:Ultimate Spider-Man (TV series)|Ultimate Spider-Man]]'', Spider-Ham appears in two different forms.
** In the fifth episode "Flight of the Iron Spider", Spider-Ham makes a cameo appearance as one of the universes Spider-Man and Living Laser were transported in.
** In the season one episode "Run Pig Run", Loki disguises himself as as hot dog vendor to give Spider-Man an enchanted hot dog that turns him into an anthropomorphic pig resembling Spider-Ham on the day of Asgardsreia, a holiday where Asgardians go on a day long hunt which ends at sundown, as payback for foiling a previous scheme of his. With the help of Thor, Phil Coulson, Nick Fury, and his fellow S.H.I.E.L.D. trainees, "Spider-Ham" evades the Executioner and his Asgardian hunters until he turns back to normal at the end.
** Spider-Ham proper later appears in the multi-part episodes in seasons three and four, voiced by Benjamin Diskin. This version of Peter Porker was a pig who got his powers from a spider that fell into his Aunt May's vitamin pancake batter and transferred said vitamins and powers to him, turning him into Spider-Ham. He used his powers for good and even joined his world's Avengers, but J. Jonah Jackal turned the public against him and forced him to quit. In the episode "The Spider-Verse" Pt. 2, Spider-Man encounters him while he is relaxing on his farm. With his encouragement, Porker decides to become Spider-Ham once again and help him fight the Green Goblin. Following the battle, Iron-Mouse, who is Iron Man's animal counterpart, offers Spider-Ham a spot on the Avengers again, which he accepts. In "The Spider-Verse" Pt. 4, Spider-Ham joins forces with a group of alternate reality Spider-Men to help Spider-Man defeat the Spider-Goblin and Electro. In "Return to the Spider-Verse" Pt. 1, Spider-Ham ends up in Peter Parker's living room due to the effects of the shattered Siege Perilous. In "Return to the Spider-Verse" Pt. 4, Spider-Ham is captured by Wolf Spider, who seeks to drain all of his multiversal counterparts' life forces, before Spider-Man defeats Wolf Spider.

===Film===
* Spider-Ham appears in ''[[W:Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse|Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse]]'', voiced by John Mulaney. This version follows similar cartoon animal behavior as seen in cartoons from the golden age of American animation and bears a resemblance to [[Porky Pig]] from the ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' franchise. Additionally, Spider-Ham's origin remains the same and he seems to be aware of the fact that anthropomorphic animals are not common in other universes. He arrives in Miles Morales' universe along with Spider-Man Noir and Peni Parker due to the Kingpin's machinations before teaming up with them, Morales, Peter B. Parker, and Spider-Woman to get back to their respective home universes; using his unique skill set to fight off the Kingpin's henchmen along the way. Before returning home to his own universe, he leaves his cartoon mallet with Morales as a keepsake.
** Spider-Ham appears in the prequel short ''[[W:Spider-Ham: Caught in a Ham|Spider-Ham: Caught in a Ham]]'', which is part of the home release of that film, with Mulaney reprising his role. When he is about to enjoy a hot dog, he gets kidnapped by Doctor Crawdaddy. He battles and defeats him in his typical cartoonish fashion until an interdimensional portal appears and affects him and his surroundings in a manner similar to the ''Looney Tunes'' short ''Duck Amuck'' before whisking him away, leading into his appearance in the film when he gets sucked into it and his hot dog pops out of it.
** Mulaney had also expressed interest in a potential film starring Spider-Ham, describing its plot as a Watergate-like story along the lines of ''The Post'' or ''All the President's Men'' while focusing on the character's career as a reporter.
* Mulaney returned to voice Spider-Ham in the animated short film ''Back on the Air'', which was created to promote the character's appearance in the video game ''[[W:Marvel Contest of Champions|Marvel Contest of Champions]]''.

===Video games===
* Spider-Ham makes a cameo appearance in ''[[W:Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions|Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions]]'', voiced by an uncredited, former Activision Associate Producer Kevin Umbricht.

* Spider-Ham appears as a support card in the "Heroes vs. Heralds" mode in ''[[W:Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3|Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3]]''.
