Background

Bug is an Insectivorid master thief and adventurer from the planet Kaliklak in the Microverse (a.k.a. Inner Space), a “sub-atomic” realm actually accessed via the energies of shrinking. Known as a humorous, lighthearted flirt, he is also a charismatic leader and adept warrior. Bug was raised on Kaliklak during the tyranny of the near-immortal evil Baron, and he trained under a master thief. He eventually rose to lead a gang of rebels, running raids against Baron Karza’s forces, before joining forces with the Micronauts. He formed a close friendship with Acroyear despite their vastly different personalities and was romantically involved with Marionette for a time. Bug later escaped the Microverse and served as a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy before returning to the Micronauts (also known as the Microns in current Marvel continuity).

Note: Bug’s speech is interspersed with a “tik” sound due to an Insectivorid’s chitinous membrane in the throat. Bug also has an aversion to water.
