Haywire was a minor character from the original Squadron Supreme series from Marvel Comics. Unlike many of the characters from that continuity, he did not have a DC Comics counterpart, but was an original creation.
Harold Danforth, AKA Haywire, has the ability to create and project strands of 5mm. diameter metallic "tanglewires". These wires can be created at some distance from his body, and disappear if he loses consciousness. Haywire was a member of Nighthawk's Redeemers, who joined the Squadron Supreme in order to sabotage their efforts at world conquest. During this time he was romantically involved with fellow Redeemer Inertia. At the ended of Squadron Supreme: New World Order he chosen to remain on Marvel-Earth when the rest of the Squadron returned home. Haywire happened to come across a battle between Thanos, self-styled god of death, and Mantis, the Celestial Madonna, as Thanos hoped to destroy her child, the Celestial Messiah, also known as Quoi. Haywire tried to help Mantis, who ultimately was able to thwart Thanos. Mantis elicited help from Haywire and an assemblage of Avengers to work to defeat Thanos's efforts to kill Quoi. In the process, Haywire hoped to encounter the cosmic embodiment of Death in order to bid it to restore Inertia to life. Ultimately, Haywire got his chance, but Death did not respond to his pleas. Distraught and obsessed, Haywire leapt into the form of Death itself and was destroyed.
[edit] Powers and abilities
Haywire had the ability to form nearly unlimited quantities of a steel-like "tanglewire" filament from his fingertips which he can use to entangle opponents and/or form simple shapes. The tanglewire can be as sharp or safe according to his will.
