    They’re there. It’s just your frame of reference.

    To my knowledge, no publisher has ever tried a cephalopod superhero, though Doctor Octopus once briefly turned into a good guy. Does that count? Of course he wasn’t actually a cephalopod. Why this rampant discrimination?

    Does a Quarren (“squid face”) Jedi Knight count?

    Hydra on “Agents of Shield” are similar to cephalopods, with squiddy heads.

    @John Harshman #6:

    Supermegatopia, (a furry webcomic setting), had Captain Squid. He spent most of his time dealing with Dr. Ghoti but has also dealt with Piranha Girl, stock terrorists, a guy named Errol who doesn’t have a fishing license, and Glue Schick, (the last due to an ill-advised bank robbery).
