I never read enough of this character to get a handle on him. He blew up Ant-Man.

Perez drew the character's debut in Deadly Hands of Kung Fu #21-24 and is considered his co-creator (even though Dave Cockrum designed his costume).
Cei-U! I summon the stacked deck!
I always thought it was a nice character design, visually. My memory associates him with artist George Freeman, though I couldn't tell you what comic that's from without looking it up.
George Freeman drew the 4 issue mini series. It needs to be reprinted, stat!

I enjoyed Jack of Hearts if he ever turned up in something like Marvel Team-Up, but I never had any interest in picking up his mini-series. Nor would I have followed a regular series of his. Wasn't his costume supposedly really hard work and laborious for artists to draw? What with all the detailing. I'm sure I've read that somewhere. It's not that crazy when compared to some of Iron Man's more detailed costumes, I think. A detail oriented artist like Perez, or Freeman make it look great.

I ran into JoH in Silver Surfer in the stories surrounding Marvel's cosmic characters post Infinity Gauntlet. He was in Cosmic Powers, Cosmic Powers Unlimited and multiple guest appearances in Silver Surfer. The only time I ever really didn't like the character was when they wrote him a love interest. And it was about as well done a five year old saying girls are icky. Otherwise I've enjoyed most of his stories I read. I think the already mentioned 4-part mini in the 80's was the oldest story that I have read. I certainly didn't know he was old enough to appear in DHoKF. I just assumed he was some random 90's cosmic character that would just make guest appearances.
