Frog-Man (Eugene Patilio) is a minor comedic superhero created by writer J. M. DeMatteis and artist Kerry Gammill for Marvel Comics. His first appearance was in Marvel Team-Up #121 (September 1982)
The Fabulous Frog-Man was the son of the minor Daredevil supervillain Leap-Frog, real name Vincent Patilio. After several defeats by Daredevil, Iron Man, and Spider-Man, which eventually landed him in jail, Vincent had decided to retire and go straight.
Eugene, his son, donned his father's costume in an attempt to be a crimefighter to clear his father's name. However, his crimefighting career became essentially a joke. His two major villains were the White Rabbit, a villainess who resembled a Playboy Bunny, and the Walrus, a dimwitted character who essentially had the proportionate abilities of a walrus (tough skin and super-strength, though well below Spider-Man's class).
Frog-Man had a tendency to capture villains simply by dumb luck. Eugene's inability to fully pilot his automated Frog-Man costume caused him to wildly bounce around, scoring sure wins against villains by crashing into them. This questionable method accounts for his victories over Yellow Claw and Speed Demon. Both villains were later contacted by the White Rabbit with proposals for an alliance against him. She later complained to Walrus that both men laughed her off as soon as they heard her codename.
Vincent Patilio was very proud of his son, yet at the same time, very worried about him risking his life. He even prevented his son from joining the Defenders. Considering his son's luck, Vincent shouldn't have to worry too much about anything too bad.
