Marvel Character needs Identifying !!!

Suggested to try question on this board.

Son bought a character from a local car boot,
It has marvel 1994 Toy Biz Inc stamped on the back.
No idea of his name , any suggests.
We are not sure if he's a goodie or a baddie !!!!!
No luck on the net.

Hopefully a picture has downloaded with the thread.

If not he's got large silver boots on up to this knees.
Robotic forearms & large silver shoulder pads..
Has a utility type belt & shoulder strap.
Has walkie talkie attached to side of head plus two aerials.

I'm sure there must be a Marvel fan who can help ? please !!! :confused:

    Thanks poe.tuesday,
    I would have never found him on the net.
    Seems quite an obscure character.
    Got to break to my son that he's a baddie !!!!!


    Found a short piece about him below

    Commcast
    A technological wizard, Commcast lets his keyboard do his fighting for him! Not only can he access virtually any information in the world within seconds, but this cyberpunk hacker has an arsenal of high-tech weaponry available via his computer!

    Thanks everyone who looked for me. Case closed !!!!

    I know nothing about these characters, I got so obsessed with wanting to know that I searched for about two hours for him, I worked out that he must be something to do with x-men due to the timing and then search all those sites that sell the figures

    he is very obsure, I only found him on one site and that was a tiny picture too


    how sad am I ;-)
  • Hey poe.tuesday well done in identyfying it, I searched on another thread for blinko and got fed up after half an hour!
