The Mauler August 19 1980 – This Day In Comics
Aaron Soames was an elderly, former employee of Cord Conglomerate deprived of his pension benefits by a computer error. Soames stole the prototype suit of Mauler armor in the hopes of punishing Edwin Cord, who was indifferent to Soames’ plight. Soames had two skirmishes with the hero Daredevil, and after humiliating Cord by symbolically erasing his existence as well by destroying his driver’s license, credit cards and other means of personal identification, he was killed with advanced weaponry by Cord’s men. Daredevil was one of the few mourners at Soames’ funeral. The Mauler debuted in Daredevil #167 (August 19, 1980).
Mauler is an acronym for Mobile Armored Utility Laser-guided E-beam, Revised.
