[edit] Minor clean-up...
I haven't read this particular segment of Marvel history, but I've tried to make this entry conform a little more closely to the form of other comic book characters profiled on wikipedia. A few questions, if anyone happens by who knows more:
1. In what issue did this chap first appear? That seems to be fairly standard info for the introduction at the top of characters' pages. Do we know which writer created him?
2. "This lead to fan speculation that Gambit was related to Harpoon, or the character itself was derived or inspired by Harpoon." I don't understand the import of this sentence...they thought Gambit was inspired by Harpoon? The Marauders page says Gambit started the Marauders at Mister Sinister's request, so I would have supposed Gambit to predate Harpoon.
3. Finally, there's a section here that seems a bit too speculative for wikipedia: "It is also possible that Harpoon can actually produce the spears himself, similar to his fellow Marauder Riptide's ability to produce throwing stars and spikes. While Harpoon wears a pack on his back to hold his spears, the supply would be depleted quickly given the amount of time the Morlock Massacre endured. Since Mister Sinister holds the keys to the Marauders' DNA, he could theoretically share many of their abilities with one another thus giving Harpoon the ability to self produce his weapons like Riptide." The first and second sentences I might leave, since they're speculation on the nature of the character's powers, but I would think the last one, speculating on something that comics writers could do if they chose to have Mister Sinister revive the character, would be out of place on wikipedia.
