Spear, also known as Jasper Daniels, is a Marvel comic character who first appeared in Power Man #33 (April 1976). He is the brother of Jack and Shadrick Daniels and a former mercenary and assassin. He has a grudge against Dr. Noah Burstein, who experimented on his terminally ill brother Jack and caused his death. Spear uses elaborate spears as his weapons of choice and has clashed with Luke Cage several times.

Some little-known facts about Spear are:

– Don McGregor and Frank Robbins created him.
– He is part of a group called Flashmob, which consists of former enemies of Luke Cage who work for Nightshade’s gang, the Rivals.
– The Spider-Virus infected him during the Spider-Island event, which gave him spider-powers for a brief time.
– He is not related to other Marvel characters who use Spear, such as Alkyra Thash, Jono Baraka, or the Chaste member.
– He has never appeared in any other media besides comics.

Some important storylines that feature Spear are:

– Power Man #33-35: This is his debut story, where he hunts down Dr. Burstein with the help of his brother Shadrick and fights Luke Cage in the process.
– Shadowland: Power Man #2-4: His most recent appearance is where he joins Flashmob in a turf war against Luke Cage and the new Power Man (Victor Alvarez).
– Fear Itself: Fellowship of Fear #1: This is a one-shot story where he is among the villains affected by the Serpent’s fear-inducing hammer.

Spear’s family history is not very detailed, but it is known that he had two brothers, Jack and Shadrick. Jack was dying from an incurable disease, and Dr. Burstein offered to treat him with an experimental procedure that involved injecting him with a variant of the Super-Soldier Serum. However, the treatment failed, and Jack died in agony. Spear blamed Burstein for his brother’s death and swore revenge. Shadrick, a mercenary and a wrestler named Mangler joined him in his quest. The two brothers formed a close bond and often worked together as a team.
