History
A scientist with a rare skin condition, an experiment meant to cure him instead turned him into the Waxman. He appeared at popular clubs in LA disguised as handsome men and seduced women. Bringing them someplace alone, his body turned into a waxy form during a moment of passion and smothered them to death. He attempted to do this to Jessica Drew (AKA Spider-Woman) who would escape this fate. She later confronted the Waxman after she learned he smothered another woman and in battling him, she blasted him apart and left him for dead. Although after Spider-Woman fled the scene, the Waxman's remains began reconstituting themselves.[1]
Years later, Waxman joined a new version of the Night Shift.[2] After San Francisco was devastated by Terrax the Tamer,[3] they were hired to help find survivors, until Superior Spider-Man learned of Waxman's past as serial killer from Anna Maria Marconi, and the two had a small row -with Waxman resigning from the Shift- until Octavius froze him in liquid nitrogen, shattering his form. The Shift then denied any knowledge of Waxman's previous crimes.[4]Attributes
Powers
Shapeshifting: The Waxman's body was totally malleable. He could reshape his body to appear as anyone, male or female. He could also throw chunks of his own flesh and mold it in any shape imaginable. However, he usually used his body to envelop and smother his victims. If blown apart, he could eventually reconstitute himself even if a portion of his skeleton is damaged.[1]
Weaknesses
Waxman is susceptible to temperature extremes. Intense heat can burn him up[5] and very cold temperatures and anything that freezes objects on contact can prevent from regenerating.[4]
Notes
- Waxman's powers and appearance is similar to the DC Comics' villain Clayface. Whether Clayface inspired Waxman's creation or is simply a coincidence is unknown.
