HistoryEdit

With the Mauler armor
ADourAdded by ADour

Turk Barrett was a small-time crook associated with Eric Slaughter and The Kingpin and before that with the Thunderbolts. Barrett once stole the Mauler armor to unsuccessfully confronted Daredevil. [1] Turk later stole the Stilt-Man armor. He offered his services to the Kingpin but was declined. The Kingpin contended that he did not employ "idiots". The original creator of the Stilt-Man armor, Wilbur Day, contacted Daredevil with knowledge of how to defeat Barrett. [2]

With the Stilt-Man armor

Turk has spent quite a bit of time at Josie's Bar in New York City. His primary associate is "Grotto" who often reluctantly participates in Turk's schemes. Turk once mugged a "Santa" at Christmas and intended to use the Yuletide attire to swindel charitable donations from others. In this instance when he was confronted by a disoriented Matt Murdock, Turk stabbed Murdock seriously, almost fatally, wounding him. [3]

ParaphernaliaEdit

Equipment

The Mauler power armor provided protection from physical and energy attacks, boosted the wearer's strength and stamina to superhuman levels, and slightly boosted the wearer's reflexes/coordination. Internal life support systems could keep a wearer functional for several days. Electric, air-breathing turbines in the calves allowed the wearer to fly. On the right arm, a solid state laser cannon was mounted, as well as an electron particle gun (which used the laser cannon in short-pulse mode as a guide). The left palm could generate a high-frequency electric shock.

NotesEdit

  • This editor is not of the opinion that Turk Barrett first appeared in Daredevil #69. Although that character was also of African American descent, he was also a Black Militant. Turk Barrett has worked for several predominantly white crime cartels and the white "Grotto" appears to be his best friend.
