Who is Sea Urchin?

Origin Jeremy Swimming Bear was dubbed Sea Urchin by environmentalist media but it was a name he did not like because it made him sound cheap and petty. He would come into conflict with Namorita of the New Warriors after she discovered members of his crew smuggling Atlantean artifacts in Staten Island. Namorita followed the smuggler's boat for about ten miles off the docks of Staten Island to a larger shipping vessel with dredging and salvage equipment. Sea Urchin engaged Namorita in combat when she attacked the members of his crew on his boat. Sea Urchin snared her with a heat-conduction coil and then he fired tiny blades that emitted a heat-flash to dehydrate Namorita. Sea Urchin proceeded to beat her and finally scalped a long section of her hair off. A police helicopter found Namorita floating in the water and took her to the headquarters of Oracle Inc which was owned by her cousin, Namor . Namorita told Namor that Sea Urchin was spitting on their heritage and she was going to stop him at all cost.
