Born in 1914, Eugene Milton Judd was not the same height as he is known today. At the tender age of eight, he hunted a grizzly bear, which kept his family alive through a harsh winter. Subsequently, he vowed to live his life to the fullest. His journey around the world led him to become a mercenary, and he soon found himself in search of the Black Blade of Baghdad. When Puck finally claimed him, he was attacked by the being known as Black Raazer, the one who possessed the blade. Black Raazer’s mind then changed Puck forever, lengthening his lifespan, increasing his strength, and compressing him into the short legend we know today. Unfortunately, Puck’s resulting stature caused him great pain, but he keeps her in check through meditation.

The puck is within reach

Puck has always been a five star athlete; he is one of the most talented fighters around. However, when he trapped the Black Raazer in his body, causing him to compress, he gained superhuman strength, speed, durability, invulnerability, and stamina. Arguably, Puck already had superhuman agility and reflexes before his body changed – he took down an entire bear when he was eight, after all.

Puck can also quote Shakespeare with the best of them – and even did it once, in a battle with the Atlanteans. He also speaks 17 languages. Puck also used to kick him with Namor – the living embodiment of the phrase, “you can’t sit with us.”
