Professor Purnel is the brains behind Purnel's Auto-Reverse Defence, an experimental British defence system.
Fiction
Marvel Comics UK continuity
Purnel spent at least five years developing PARD in the United Kingdom. As he explained, the system was designed to reverse electrical systems, directing missiles back to their senders.
As Purnel was putting PARD through its second test he became concerned that his assistant, Zeke Heilmann was not all he appeared to be. Showing a flair for theatrics (as well as the cloak-and-dagger world of spying) Purnel recruited a man called Flambert to pose as the European security advisor. While Purnel and Flambert pretended to discuss the cost analysis for full development of PARD in 'E' wing, they left fake blueprints within Heilmann's reach and when he attempted to steal them, Purnel's suspicions were confirmed.
This did him little good, as Heilmann promptly knocked him down with a stool and stole the core of PARD before setting fire to the lab to cover his escape. It is not known whether Purnel survived this, but neither he nor PARD were mentioned again. To a Power Unknown!
