Hammerhead (Joseph Lorenzini) (of Earth-616) is a fictional character, a supervillain that has appeared in various comic book series published byMarvel Comics.
He is primarily an enemy of Spider-Man and a member of organized crime who exists in the Marvel Universe. The character first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #113.
History[]
Hammerhead began his career as a junior hit-man, working for the Maggia. When his head was shattered in a brawl, Jonas Harrow discovered him in an alley, and operated on him - replacing his broken skull with one made of steel.
Upon awakening, Hammerhead became infatuated with the 1920's movie poster which was the last thing he saw before the brawl, and adopted the role of the mobster "Hammerhead", favoring 20's clothing, weaponry, talk and behavior of the criminals of that era. He no longer remembered his real name.
Powers and Abilities[]
Hammerhead has no superhuman abilities, yet his skull is now surgically reinforced with adamantium, making his head flat on top; with this, he can charge and break through objects such as brick walls without causing any pain or damage to himself. This metal can absorb physical impacts that would otherwise fracture human bone.
Hammerhead is in peak physical condition comparable to that of an Olympic level athlete. He is also a formidable hand-to-hand combatant whose most dangerous tactic is charging head-first like a bull toward an opponent.
