Arcade
First appearance: Marvel Team-Up #65

Murdering his father at the age of twenty-one, the man known solely as Arcade used his handsome inheritance to build a theme-park devoted to torture and murder. Working as a killer for hire, Arcade uses his dump-truck capture device to attain his victims who he sets loose in the aptly named Murderworld. With the assistence of his girl Friday, Miss Locke, Arcade has run into both Spider-Man and the X-Men with regularity.

Arcade first came onto the scene when he ran afowl of Spider-Man and his one-time roommate Brian Braddock, aka: Captain Britain, and has since come into the contact of many other heroes like X-Force and Excalibur, as well as villains, including Dr. Doom and Toad, to whom he has rented out his machinery. Despite being a bloodthirsty sadist, Arcade has had some loyal associates, including Mr. Chambers, and the previously mentioned Miss Locke, who was accidently slain in Murderworld. Her death is the only Arcade has felt sorry for.

Lately Arcade has kept in regular business, being hired by Norman Osborn to eliminate the heroic Green Goblin, and later to kidnap youth drug dealers. He is presumably still working as a killer for hire.

Powers and Abilities: Arcade has no super powers, but is extremely intelligent, and totally deranged.
