The man who would become the Cockroach is an unnamed merchant and former magician. Due to the influence of Adam Weisshaupt (and later Astoria), the Cockroach begins to suffer from

Captain America )
*Moon Roach (Moon Knight )
*Wolveroach (Wolverine)
*Punisheroach (ThePunisher )
*Swoon (Dream)In most of his personae the Cockroach believes he is helping others; unfortunately, he generally manages to cause mayhem and destruction instead.
