It is uncertain whether Mansquito and the newly-introduced character Lt. Fequale Matière are chums or foes, but as the news of Matière comes across the transom, it is looking like the European detective is more parts Inspector Clouseau than Hercule Poirot.

As explained on Dennis Miller's radio show, Matière wears a full latex suit, which most fans are speculating has to do with the potentially-hazardous nature of working with a blood-sucking superhero. Designs for Mansquito's sanitary stinger sheath are still a mystery, but an early rendering of Matière's latex suit has been released as part of the 'Mansquito' style book.
