Hammerhead is a supervillain in the Spider-Man comics published by Marvel Comics. Though his real name is not known, bits of his past are known. He was a small-time member of the Maggia, the Marvel Universe version of the Mafia. He was found half-dead and amnesiac in the streets after a gang war by Dr. Jonas Harrow. Harrow took him to his lab where, to save his life, he installed a metal plate in his head, giving him "flat-top" look. After being nursed back to health by Harrow, Hammerhead saw a poster of a movie about Al Capone, prompting him to start a mob of his own, based on the gangsters of the 1930s. Though not much is known about his life before he became a supervillain, he is known to have a sister.
