History

Buck Cowan was the closest friend of Jack Russell and one of the few individuals who knew he suffered from a curse that forced him to transform into a werewolf. Jack would often ask Buck to lock him up at his house during full moon nights. At one point, Jack provided Buck with a gun loaded with silver bullets to put him down if necessary, but when Jack broke out in his werewolf form, Buck couldn't bring himself to shoot his friend.[2]

Buck was targeted by Atlas, a former actor who had become horribly disfigured in an accident while filming a movie written by Cowan. Buck was saved by Jack and, when Atlas was about to kill the werewolf, Buck shot and killed him.[3]

Buck was almost killed by Russell in his werewolf form while protecting Buttons Marston, a little girl who had become lost in a snowstorm and encountered the werewolf.[4]

Notes

  • Although Elaine Marston was described as Buck's fiancée in Spider-Woman #19, it has never been revealed if they actually ever got married.
  • After being severely mauled by the Werewolf, Buck was forced to use a wheelchair for some time. However, when last seen, he had regained the ability to walk.[5]
