Rooted to a wall for over 80 years at Fort Harmony, Quinn possesses hate-inducement powers via spores that provoke intense rage and violence in humans and supes alike.
A longtime rival of Soldier Boy, whom he despised for succeeding where he failed, Quinn meets his end incinerated by Soldier Boy's nuclear blast in Episode 4, 'King of Hell'.
