I had no idea what it was. Cool bug!

turned out to be your bug. Or did it have a search capability for all the bugs posted to date?

found an image that looked familiar.

Finding the right search term was the hard part of this search. I'm usually very good at terms, but this one was difficult. I searched types, but no dice. I got close with the Assassin bug, but they didn't share enough similarities. I tried colors, then body parts. The forelegs were the biggest mystery, but the best clue. They appeared to match other predatory bugs. Even though the word Spiny didn't fit, it worked.

I saw a Great Black Wasp a couple days ago. It's a beautiful creature.

Originally, he was just this dopey wannabe superhero with no powers and a lame costume who would do cameo appearances in other comics, but later on, he got to 'break the fourth wall' and move in and out of comic books and play around with continuity.
