Porcupine is the name used by two fictional characters appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics: Alexander Gentry, a weapons designer who uses his porcupine battlesuit in an attempt to become wealthy through crime, as one of the first costumed professional criminals of his generation, and Roger Gocking, a criminal who purchased the suit to commit crimes, before joining the Thunderbolts and reforming, joining Ben Urich and Jessica Drew as a private investigator, and as nanny to the latter's son Gerry, before eventually coming to date Jessica himself.
The Alexander Gentry incarnation of Porcupine appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, portrayed by Jordan Aaron Ford.
