History
Night-Crawly was a member of the X-Bugs, a team of similarly super powered insects who worked together under the leadership of the telepathic worm known as Professor X-Bug. At one point, Professor X-Bug noticed that Magsquito the magnetic mosquito, a known enemy of the X-Bugs, was manipulating a great amount of metal scrap, and the Professor assumed that Magsquito was performing a new evil deed. However, Magsquito had turned good and was simply working at his new business, Magsquito's Junk Yard. Unaware of this detail, the Professor telepathically summoned his X-Bugs and joined them in a trek to fight Magsquito.
The X-Bugs boarded their usual vehicle, the X-Buggy, but a technical problem precluded its use. They instead went to the junkyard using an X-Checker. Once there, the Professor ordered the X-Bugs to attack Magsquito; to the mosquito's surprise. Donning a Roman warrior helmet, Night-Crawly joined the fight and poked Magsquito in the eyes. The Professor X-Bug crawled forward and demanded Magsquito to surrender, but then Magsquito revealed he had become a respectable entrepreneur. Ashamed, the Professor X-Bug led his X-Bugs away, toward a new adventure. [2]
