Valiant Ones,

I realize that most of you abhor the Future Force, but as I was re-reading some old issues of Rai, I wondered who created this character? Was is John Ostrander (who first wrote him in Rai #9) or someone else? Does anyone have any idea who decided to put an african american spider alien anti-hero into the Future Force title?

How can an alien be "African-American"?

He was genetically engineered to have the appearance of an african american human. That's how.

Also like the old-school spider aliens, we can tell this because Joakim Noah only has four fingers on each hand, a non-human skeleton, and a dumb expression on his face at all times.

The spider aliens created Spylocke

.I liked how he dressed even if it was kind of what Desaad wore.

He was engineered to have the appearance of someone whose heritage could be traced to one continent but who lived in a country that effectively no longer existed?

He was one of the better characters to come out of the Future Force period.

Yes, I very much enjoyed the character of Spylocke, who was a mystery for most of the run of Rai. Then, he was revealed to be a Spider Alien, yet Rai still protected and trusted him. He said that Rai was the only human he could ever call a friend and trained Rai's son in combat.

He is an intriguing character and I know that there is a new Spylocke in the current Rai series. I'm just wondering if it was Ostrander who created him or someone else?
