Spyke (Evan Daniels) is a fictional character created by writer Robert N. Skir and artist Steven E. Gordon for the WB animated superhero series X-Men: Evolution, which is based on American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Voiced by Neil Denis, the character is a high school student with the mutant ability to project spikes out of his body. Originally, Spyke was intended to be called Armadillo and have cornrows. He was created as a way to diversify the series' X-Men roster and include an African American among the main characters, something important to the creators, the network and Marvel Comics. According to producer Boyd Kirkland, turning Bishop (the first Black male X-Man) into a teenager would not have worked. Spyke has similar powers to Marrow, a pre-existing character, though Kirkland says this was not intentional.
