    Default Peter Petruski AKA Paste Pot Pete AKA The Trapster

    Has any writer ever delved into the reason why he didn't patent his super paste and market it? Maybe he did try but big business tried to screw him out of any profits, which is what usually happens to inventors(at least in comics).

    There was an AU where he did exactly just that and become a successful businessman. From the Marvel Villains entry on Trapster:
    Other Appearances: "Traps" by Ken Grobe, a short story in "The Ultimate Super-Villains" where Peter finds fortune and romance marketing his paste products in infomercials. A story so good I would love to see it become part of the Marvel Canon!

    The problem is that story is not canon and thus has no bearing on the character from the comics.

    I really dislike the trope where a super villain could make money legitimately and decides not so he can rob banks and get punched by super heroes.

    Trapster has been around for 50 years, surely the writers can give him an actual in canon story that expands the character beyond being a one note generic villain.

    I know that the comicbook character Matt Murdock was nick-named Daredevil when he was in school, so I would not be surprised if the comicbook character Peter Petruski was nick-named Paste-Pot-Pete in kindergarten.
