Eddie McDonough

Eddie McDonough is a young Marvel hero introduced as part of the Slingers ensemble, a team of teenagers who each adopted one of Spider-Man's discarded identities and costumes. Eddie takes on the Hornet persona, gaining flight and enhanced strength through a powered suit.

Eddie McDonough made his Marvel debut in Slingers #0 in 1998, a late Copper/Modern Age launch that introduced a fresh ensemble of young heroes to the Marvel Universe. Created by Joseph Harris and Adam Pollina, Eddie shares his adventures with a compelling cast — Hornet, Prodigy, Cassie St. Commons, and Dusk among them — the kind of tight-knit company that defines a memorable team book. His footprint stretches across roughly thirteen years and turns up in titles as varied as Contest of Champions II and Deadpool, proof that he found a life beyond his debut series. With only ten catalog appearances, Eddie is a genuine hidden gem for collectors who love hunting down the quieter corners of Marvel's modern era.
