Should Puma be used more?

[Ubauba01]

He rarely appears in Spider-Man stories. Do you think he is underused?

[Frontier]

Was Hunted the last time we saw him?

[the illustrious mr. kenway]

He's pretty obscure but you could give him the Black Panther treatment and build him up.

[Captain Craig]

There was a time, probably during the SS:Wild Pack series or shortly after, that I felt a team book with just "gray" Spider family characters should be tried.
Molten Man
Puma
Rocket Racer
Black Cat
Scarlet Spider

Contender characters to show up on occasion would be Silver Sable, Prowler, Will O'Wisp, Paladin, Sandman(this was around his turn to good), Jessica Drew and of course Peter himself at times.

[Agent Z]

I once suggested a team with a focus on taking down corporate villains like Beyond. Sort of like a superhero version of Leverage. Puma could work as the team's "hitter".

They could be Sony's attempt at Guardians of the Galaxy.

That works for me.

Yes to all of these, especially the last one. Considering Puma used to be pretty wealthy himself and all that, I could even see him built up as a counterforce to corporate villains such as Beyond and Roxxon . . . and Hammer. Maybe Stark Unlimited under Feilong, assuming that lasts longer.

[Mister Mets]

If somebody has a good Puma story, sure.

But I don't think this is anything to force.

He is one of Spider-Man's most prominent BIPOC characters.

It's a bit complicated because he's rich and well-connected, and knows Peter's identity, so he might be too much of a "get out of jail" free card.

He could be connected to the totem forces.

One conflict could be if Puma's framed, or just decides to do things that are illegal. Spidey would have to consider whether he's acting differently because he doesn't want to push someone who could destroy his private life.

[Vegeta]

Eh, he just felt like another Kraven the Hunter to me, and I don't like Kraven the Hunter. So I am fine not seeing him in the book.

Considering the leeway he's given Norman Osborn, "cleansed of his sins" or not, I think that ship has somewhat sailed, though the idea itself would be worth examining.

[Celgress]

OP Question - sure, why not

[Jman27]

Sure why not Peter hates him though I never forgot when Puma brought the daily bugle and stop them from writing bad news on spiderman Peter wasnt happy and was trying to get him to give the bugle back to Jameson. What an idiot

[exile001]

Puma should get a chance to headline a few miniseries. He's a character Marvel could make a thing with a bit of effort.

[Triniking1234]

Prowler barely shows up; ain't no one gonna try to push Puma as a regular.

[Hypestyle]

I'm surprised the character hasn't shown up in one of the Marvel: Voices one-shots, that focus on Indigenous characters. Or has he? That could be one platform to use.
might as well build him away from being an assassin for hire, and atone for the awful stuff he was doing early on, some of which might even be retconned away, as is often the trend.
his corporation/money could do a lot of good for the Indigenous communities. There's another story angle.
