== History ==

The man known as Spud was once a USDA agent who snapped and went rogue after being augmented by their secret 'Tubermensch' program. An early attempt to recapture him led to him falling in a vat of boiling vegetable oil. He managed to escape, but the experience fried his brain and sent his cholesterol level through the roof.

Was hired to take out [[Schwa Khan]] and finger [[Baron Umlaut]] in the process, but ran into trouble against [[Dvandom Force]] when his gritty '90s crime-noir genre ran smack up against their colorful Silver Age-y (so he called it) superheroism.

== Personality ==

Has a rather detached viewpoint, typical of tough guys.

== Powers and Abilities ==

A hybrid of man and potato, with all the powers of both species. Admittedly, that's not much. Has a limited ability to change shape, great resistance to harm, and the ability to fire pellets of his own body at hypersonic speeds.

== Appearance ==

Fried.

== Context ==

Modern-day audiences might not realize that he's a parody of classic indie comics character [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scud:_The_Disposable_Assassin Scud: The Disposable Assassin].
