Percival "Pinky" Pinkerton is a fictional character, a soldier in Marvel Comics' shared universe, the Marvel Universe. The character's first appearance was in ''Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos'' vol. 1 #8 (July 1964), in which he replaced Jonathan Junior Juniper who was killed in issue #4. ==Fictional character biography== Percival "Pinky" Pinkerton was an English member of the original Howling Commandos who fought alongside the team during World War II. A British Army commando and gentleman ranker who used an umbrella as a weapon along with his Thompson submachine gun, Pinkerton had served alongside the unit commander Captain Samuel Happy Sam Sawyer prior to Pearl Harbor when both were with the British Commandos. Along with Col Timothy Dum Dum Dugan and Dino Manelli, he helped organize the ''Deadly Dozen''. Though never explained in the series, Pinkerton wore a Carlist Requetés type red beret with a yellow tassel with his Battle Dress that may have involved service in the Spanish Civil War. Pinkerton also wore his battle dress with an open collar with scarf rather than having the buttoned collar of a British other rank. In issue #23 ("The Man Who Failed") of ''Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos'', Percy’s older brother, Lieutenant Colonel Pinkerton appeared. The story, set in Burma revealed that Pinkerton came from an English family with a long tradition of service as officers to the Crown. Why Pinkerton never accepted a commission was explained as his living a playboy womanising life style during his initial military training that led him to be unable to catch up with his studies and resigning.〔Lee, Stan ''The Man Who Failed'' #23 ''Sgt Fury and his Howling Commandos''〕 In the first ''Sgt Fury'' Annual taking place with the Howlers (Howling Commandos) being called back to service in the Korean War, Pinkerton was a sergeant as were all the other former private soldiers of the unit. At the time of their 1966 Vietnam War mission (''Annual #3'', ''Sgt Fury and his Howling Commandos'') Pinkerton was managing a Playboy Club in London. As with several other of the Howling Commandos, Pinkerton joined S.H.I.E.L.D.. He was said to have died in London after a long battle with cancer, with Dum Dum Dugan at his side.〔''Secret Warriors'' #19〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pinky Pinkerton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
