History
Barney was a dinosaur that lived in the Savage Land, when he was captured, along with several over dinosaurs and experimented on by Stox. While other experiments either died or mutated into half dinosaur creatures, Barney did not initially exhibit any gifts and was able to escape, later gaining the ability to speak. Needing help, he fled the Savage Land but was captured in Turkey and had to be rescued by Sharon Carter and returned to the Savage Land. On their return to the Savage Land, Sharon's plane crashed and the pair were captured in the Savage Land by Stox, who was revealed to be Count Nefaria. Viewing Barney as his one successful experiment as a living ion battery, Nefaria attempted to use him to create more in order to obtain an army of living ion batteries but was defeated by Captain America. Barney's subsequent fate is unknown.[1]
Attributes
Powers
As a dinosaur, Barney possesses greater strength and durability than the average human. Count Nefaria's experiments gave Barney the ability to speak as well as give off ionic energy.
Abilities
Barney's ability to speak hints that he may have an intelligence that is greater than average for a creature of his species. He was at least smart enough to know that he needed to flee the Savage Land and seek help.
Notes
- Barney's name is a reference to Barney the Dinosaur from the television series Barney & Friends.
