Biography
Harold Danforth
recruited by Nighthawk to serve in his Redeemers to overthrow his former team the Squadron Supreme in protest at their Utopia Project that gave them control over the United States. Haywire infiltrated the Squadron along with several other Redeemers, and bided his time. After being recruited by the Squadron Supreme, Haywire became romantically involved with his fellow recruit Inertia. (Squadron Supreme v1 #10) When the Redeemers confronted the Squadron Supreme in battle, Haywire used his powers to trip the Whizzer, inadvertently playing a part in the death of his teammate Thermite, who was killed when Whizzer crashed into the regulator pack he wore to stop his powers from killing him. Haywire survived the battle. (Squadron Supreme v1 #12)
After the Squadron Supreme surrendered and dismantled their Utopia Project, Haywire remained a member of the team. He was part of the team when they faced the threat of the Nth Man. Haywire's lover Inertia was killed in the battle and Haywire was distraught. The survivors were transported to another Earth, Earth-616, where they clashed with other heroes like the Avengers. When the rest of the Squadron returned to their own Earth, Haywire elected to stay behind. (Squadron Supreme: Death of a Universe v1 #1)
Overview
Personality and attributes
Powers and abilities
Haywire had the ability to psionically generate a steel-like 'tanglewire' filament from his fingertips which he can use for a variety of purposes, including creating long grappling wires for locomotion, vast quantities for trapping, entangling, or binding his opponents, or forming simple shapes like spheres, cubes, and cones. The tanglewire can be sharp or safe, according to his will. The tanglewire is extremely tensile and durable; only omnium and adamantium can cut through it. The tanglewire is resistant to extremes of temperature and pressure. The tanglewire will remain in existence indefinitely or until he consciously wills it to dissipate, and will remain in existence if he is rendered unconscious. There is no known limit to the amount of tanglewire he can generate. He wears padded leather gloves to enable him to hold onto his tanglewire when necessary.
