History

Walter Newell designed a unique suit for exploration. He took the name Stingray after basing some of its design on manta rays. He was ordered by Edgar Becton to bring Namor in to investigate the disappearance of water from Earth's oceans. Stingray reluctantly did so, but later allowed Namor to leave.

He was also targeted by Iron Man during the Armor Wars until Stark determined his suit did not contain any stolen technology.
