Character » Trapster appears in 451 issues.
Member of the original Frightful Four. The Frightful Four was introduced as the nemesis to the Fantastic Four, the rotation has constantly changed. However, next to the Wizard himself, who has always been the leader of the Frightful Four, Trapster has had the second most appearances on the Frightful Four team. He started out in FF #36 in the Frightful Four's first appearance as Paste-Pot Pete, a name that he has been trying to live down for decades. However, he quickly changed his name to the Trapster in FF #38 and has stuck with it ever since. Trapster provided valuable assistance to the Wizard on many occasions. Almost all the time, Wizard has preferred making captives of the FF, instead of killing them directly. This has been one reason for the downfall of the Frightful Four. Trapster, however, has been especially useful to the Wizard in fullfilling the Wizard's desire to see his hated opponents lying helpless in a variety of traps designed to negate their powers. Trapster's most effective traps of all probably came in FF #177. However, he also did a particularly good job in FF #41, but also proved quite useful in making captives of the Fantastic Four on several other occasions. Like Medusa, he was extremely valuable in the abduction of the Invisible Girl in FF #38 and the resulting first defeat of the Fantastic Four!
