Marvel.com: So why did you pick Puck, everyone’s second favorite short Canadian super hero, to be on the team?
Sam Humphries: [Laughs] I liked having Puck because I feel like that’s a character where there is a lot of untapped potential, there’s a lot that’s ending up there that’s never been seen before. He’s a kick-ass character who has a background as an adventurer and he used to be a bouncer at a bar, so he’s kind of this tough Canadian Indiana Jones. He’s also short in stature, but you don’t see that really in the way he conducts his life. He’s the kind of guy who goes into a situation and never thinks twice and thinks he’s going to kick ass. And he’s also a smart-ass, and I have a team of very serious characters, so I was excited to have a guy in there to crack a joke once in a while.
Marvel.com: So he’s a bit of comic relief?
Sam Humphries: I would not say he’s comic relief. He’s a character that laughs in the face of danger.
