Spyke (Evan Daniels) is a fictional character created by writer Robert N. Skir and artist Steven E. Gordon for the WB animated superhero series X-Men: Evolution, which is based on American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Voiced by Neil Denis, the character is a high school student with the mutant ability to project spikes out of his body. Originally, Spyke was intended to be called Armadillo and have cornrows.[1] He was created as a way to diversify the series' X-Men roster and include an African-American character among the main cast.[2][3] Spyke has similar powers to Marrow, a pre-existing character, though Kirkland stated that this was not intentional.[4]
